Abstract

Celery leaves and Raja banana peel contain flavonoids that can stimulate the hair growth process. This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of ethanol extracts of celery leaves and raja banana peel on the hair growth. This type of research is a laboratory experimental study using test animals that are randomly grouped and given combination extract topically, group I (7.5%: 6.25%), group II (7.5%: 12.5%), group III (7.5%: 25%), group IV (normal control) and group V positive control (hair tonic 2% minoxidil). The results of hair weight in this study showed that the group given a combination of extracts was able to affect the growth of rat hair. Data on the 21st day was analyzed using the one way ANOVA statistical test, obtained a value of p < 0.01 which means there is a significant difference in the average hair growth of rats treated, then continued with the LSD post hoc test showed treatment II significantly different (p < 0.001) with all treatments. It can be concluded that the treatment group given a combination of extracts can affect the hair growth of rats.
