        abstract = {Hair plays an important role in enhancing the overall appearance of an individual. Due to factors such as pollution, stress, improper diet, hormonal imbalance, and excessive use of chemical-based cosmetics, hair problems like hair fall, dandruff, dryness, scalp irritation, and premature greying have become common. Conventional hair sprays contain synthetic polymers, alcohols, and preservatives which may cause adverse effects on prolonged use. Hence, the demand for safer herbal cosmetic formulations has increased.
The present study focuses on the formulation and in-vitro evaluation of a purely herbal hair spray using medicinal herbs such as Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Lemon (Citrus limon), and Coriander (Coriandrum sativum). The herbal extracts were prepared by the maceration method using alcohol as solvent. The formulated hair spray was evaluated for physical appearance, pH, spray pattern, stability, and scalp compatibility. The results indicated that the herbal hair spray was stable, safe, and effective, providing both styling and therapeutic benefits. Thus, the formulation can serve as a safer alternative to synthetic hair sprays.},
