  Hair growth problems can affect human physical and mental health and are of particular relevance during the aging process. In an effort to resolve such problems, an attempt has been made to evaluate the hair growth promotion activity of fresh leaf extracts of Naringi crenulata by using rodent model. Crude extracts of 0.2 ml were applied over the shaved skin onto the backs of wistar rats and monitored for 30 days. After 30 days, rats were treated with acetone and Chloroform produced a greater effect on the length and weight of hair, number of hair follicles, blood circulation and colouration of shaved skin as compared to the control groups. Therefore the results of this study suggest that, Naringi crenulata has hair growth promoting potential, the effect of which may be attributed to the presence of terpenoids and flavonoids in the plant extracts. ..
