“…The studies used O. sativa (Choi et al, 2015), Malus pumila (Kamimura et al, 2000), and anthralin (Sasmaz and Arican, 2005), and three used a combination of natural products. Of those combinations, one study used Thymus vulgaris, Lavandula angustifolia, Rosmarinus officinalis, and Cedrus atlantica (Hay, 1998); another study used Matricaria chamomilla, Achillea millefolium, Ceratonia siliqua, Equisetum arvense, Urtica urens, and Urtica dioica (Pekmezci et al, 2018), whereas the third one used Ashwagandha, curcumin, Saw palmetto, tocotrienol/tocopherol complex, piperine, capsaicin, hydrolyzed marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, and organic kelp (FAAD, 2018).…”

Cosmetics are marketed and used worldwide for various purposes. Several natural products are used for the development of cosmetic preparations. This paper systematically reviews randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating plant extracts, herbal preparations, and isolated plant-derived compounds used particularly for skin and hair care. Two independent electronic searches were conducted through PubMed and EMBASE to identify eligible RCTs. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement was followed. Data extraction was performed independently by four authors based on standardized extraction forms. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing the risk of bias in randomized trials. Sixty-three RCTs were identified; 53 were using natural products for skin care and 10 for hair care. The results were summarized in tables including the population, type of intervention, comparisons with placebo or other natural products, outcomes reported, follow-up period (P: Patient, Population; I: Intervention; C: Comparison (or Control); O: Outcome; T: Time), and country in which the study was conducted. Ten plants were identified to be present in different locations in Jordan by referring to the Royal Botanic Gardens' publication, titled "The Plants of Jordan: An Annotated Checklist." Some plants were found to have promising findings requiring further investigations in bigger RCTs with robust design and adequate reporting.

“…Myrtus communis was also found useful for the treatment of dandruff when mixed with vinegar in a study conducted in Iran (Chaijan et al, 2018). Ceratonia siliqua and U. urens were used in a combination used to improve hair growth and strength with other plants in a study conducted in Turkey (Pekmezci et al, 2018).…”

“…The role in hair loss however is not yet well known. Reviewing articles documenting the relationship between ID and hair loss including female hair loss pattern (FPHL), telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, alopecia universalis or totalis, some 43 advocated the association between ID and hair loss and others opposed it. Serum ferritin level may be used as a very early marker to detect the ID.…”

Anemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry sufficient oxygen into the tissues of your body. Anemia can make you feel weak and tired. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia, which occurs when there is not enough mineral iron in your body. To generate hemoglobin your body needs iron. If your blood supply doesn't have enough iron, the rest of the body can't get the amount of oxygen it needs.Hair is a fast-proliferating organ with a high blood supply requirement. The length and size of the hair depend on the hair cycle anagen, growth stage. At the center of these systems, however, lies the blood supply in the scalp, the oxygen delivery system, and nutrients that are provided to the subcutaneous blood flowing hair follicles. It is not yet clear what role iron plays in hair loss. This research had the purpose of determining the relationship between iron and hair loss. Iron hair loss deficiency may look like traditional hair loss patterned by males and females. A study published in the Journal of Korean Medical Science found that iron may not only play a role in hair loss, but may also cause hair to fall out in a manner similar to genetic baldness of male and female patterns. The aim of the study is to analyse the role of iron deficiency in chronic hair loss. Most widely cited nutritional causes of hair loss include iron, one of the key micronutrients in metabolism of our body. This review gives a clear knowledge about the different roles played by iron deficiency in the body, specifically its role in chronic hair loss.

It is known that hair growth disorders and hair loss can cause personal distress and affect well‐being. Whilst clinical conditions remain a target for medical research, current research on hair follicle biology and hair growth control mechanisms also provides opportunities for a range of non‐medical and cosmetic interventions that have a modulating effect on the scalp and follicle function. Furthermore, an improvement of the hair fibre characteristics (cuticle structure, cortex size and integrity) could add to the overall positive visual effect of the hair array. Since phytochemicals are a popular choice because of their traditional appeal, this review provides a critical evaluation of the available evidence of their activity for hair benefit, excluding data obtained from animal tests, and offers recommendations on improving study validity and the robustness of data collection in pre‐clinical and clinical studies.
