Hair care is an essential step to maintain and protect hair. Hair care can be done by oiling, washing hair regularly and providing the necessary nutrients to maintain healthy hair. Nowadays, many people prefer herbal hair oil as it is natural, safe, efficacious, and easy to use and rarely causes any side effects. The purpose of the current work was to establish herbal hair oil meant for an anti-greying effect, promoting hair growth, and keeping the scalp dandruff-free. Various herbs like Hibiscus rosa-sinesis flower, amla, brahmi, shikekai, shatavari, camphor, and neem leaves were used. Coconut oil was used as a vehicle and castor oil was used in some quantity as an addition. The herbal hair oil was formulated for its organoleptic characteristics, grittiness, sensitivity, pH, and viscosity. The evaluation was found to comply with that of standard values.
