A topical preparation incorporating concentrated plant extracts, often diluted in a carrier oil, intended to stimulate follicular activity. Such blends frequently combine several different aromatic essences, selected for properties thought to enhance scalp health and promote increased hair production. An example would be a mixture of rosemary, lavender, and cedarwood oils in a base of jojoba or grapeseed oil.
The perceived value of these formulations lies in their purported ability to improve circulation to the scalp, reduce inflammation, and provide nutrients that support healthy hair follicle function. Historically, plant-derived oils have been used in various cultures for cosmetic and medicinal purposes, including treatments aimed at improving hair vitality. While anecdotal evidence abounds, rigorous scientific research supporting the efficacy of these preparations for promoting significant new hair development is ongoing.
