The Evidence Behind Topical Hair Loss Remedies on TikTok

Aaminah F Azhar. Cutis. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

With the rise of social media influence and ease of accessibility of information, patients often encounter and implement hair loss advice from sources other than medical professionals. Many of these recommendations include herbs and other natural extracts (ie, rosemary oil, rice water, onion juice, garlic gel) as treatments. This review aims to investigate the evidence-based research behind these claims.
