        abstract = {The project "Formulation and Evaluation of Rice Water Hair Mask" aims to develop an effective hair mask using natural ingredients to improve hair health and address common hair issues such as dryness, damage, and scalp problems. This study utilizes rice water, known for its high inositol content, which enhances hair elasticity and reduces friction between strands. The mask also incorporates milk protein for nourishment, vitamin E for antioxidant protection, rosemary oil for stimulating hair growth, coconut oil for deep conditioning, aloe vera gel for soothing and moisturizing, and rose water for its hydrating and aromatic properties. The formulation involves precisely blending these ingredients to achieve a consistent and effective hair mask. Evaluations include phytochemical analysis to identify the active components, organoleptic assessments for sensory attributes, physicochemical tests for stability and texture, and consumer acceptability studies. These evaluations ensure that the hair mask not only delivers the desired benefits but also meets safety and quality standards. The results indicate that the rice water hair mask is rich in essential nutrients and antioxidants, making it a potent treatment for enhancing hair vitality. The mask demonstrates excellent moisturizing, strengthening, and protective properties, making it suitable for regular use to maintain healthy, shiny, and resilient hair.},
