Abstract

Hair loss is a widespread concern and affects skin quality. Hair loss can occur due to many factors. Based on previous research, clove plants can overcome hair loss problems. This is because cloves can be used as extracts and contain secondary metabolites in the form of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids.

This study is a true experimental study, using a post-test only control group design. The sample in this study was 24 animals.

The results of the study concluded that administration of clove extract cream (Syzygium aromaticum) affected hair growth. Based on the difference in average hair length in the groups after testing. The conclusion of the research results stated that the greatest hair growth was in test group 3 which was given clove extract with a concentration of 12%. The group with the least hair growth was in the control group which was only given base cream. Administration of clove extract cream (Syzygium aromaticum) in the group after testing with concentrations of 3%, 9%, and 12% extra affected the healing process of dermapen wounds in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) Wistar strain. Based on phytochemical tests, it was shown that clove extract (Syzygium aromaticum) contains secondary metabolites in the form of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids. These compounds, especially flavonoids, help heal dermapen wounds and stimulate hair growth.
