        abstract = {This study was conducted to prepare and evaluate the effectiveness of a herbal hair conditioner based on a lamellar emulsion system for the management of various hair porosity-related problems. The herbal conditioner was prepared using Aloe Vera, Hibiscus, and Fenugreek, all well-recognized for their moisturizing, strengthening, and hair growth-enhancing potential. Herbal extracts were extracted by the maceration method, followed by incorporation into the multi-emulsion (Water-in-Oil-in-Water) base to enhance stability and active delivery to the hair. The formulated conditioner was tested for colour, texture, pH, stability, foam formation, porosity effect, and microscopic structure. These observations demonstrated that the conditioner was magenta pink in colour, smooth, semi-solid with a pH of 3.65, which is suitable for the hairs. It remained stable at different temperatures and demonstrated mild foaming. In the Float test, an improvement in hair porosity was noticed after treatment. In general, this herbal conditioner imparts excellent Smoothness, shine, and moisture to hair and hence could be a safe and natural alternative to chemical conditioners.},
