| Summary: | The china rose is one of the plants that ubiquitously grows in Indonesia. Traditionally, the
china rose leaves are used to promote hair growth. However, studies on the activity of china
rose leaves as hair growth promoter is limited. In this study, the activity of aqueous extract
of china rose (Malvaviscus arboreus Cav.) leaves and turk’s cap (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.)
leaves on hair growth and hair density were tested. Fresh china rose and turk’s cap leaves
were extracted in distilled water to form mucus. Results of extraction were freeze-dryed to
form a dry extract. The dry extract was prepared in a solution with a mixed solvent consisting
of glycerin, 95% ethanol, and distilled water (3:4:13). The New Zealand White rabbits male
had their back shaved and each shaved area was divided into six regions measuring 2x3 cm
2
.
The six regions were treated with control, the carrier, the test extract, at the concentration of
4% and 8%, and the two types of references, candlenut oil (Fora®) and Minoxidil 2%
(Regrou®). Application of test materials was done every day, from day 0 to day 15. Length
of hair was observed on day 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15, and hair weight was measured on day 15.
During 15 days of observation, the aqueous extract of M. arboreus Cav. leaves at 4% and
8%, and aqueous extract of H. rosa-sinensis L. leaves at 8% showed superior hair growth
promoting activities that were statistically significant (p<0.05) compared to controls. The
aqueous extract of M. arboreus Cav. leaves at 4% and 8% also showed hair thickening
effects that were statistically significant (p<0.05) compared to controls. Altogether results
of the present study suggested that aqueous extract of M. arboreus Cav. leaves at 4% and
8% had hair growth and hair thickening activities. Aqueous extract of H. rosa-sinensis L.
leaves at 8% showed hair growth promoter activity on rabbits.
