A battle for your hair: herbal oil vs. minoxidil serum in a Head-to-Head trial

NCT ID NCT06552039

First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares three approaches for people dealing with hair fall and premature graying: a polyherbal hair oil, a minoxidil 5% hair serum, and a combination of both. About 99 healthy adults aged 18 to 55 with noticeable hair fall will apply their assigned product to the scalp three times a week. Researchers will measure changes in hair thickness, density, growth rate, strength, and scalp health to see which approach works best.
