Abstract Studies of herbal formulations have picked up the pace with an escalating demand for natural, preservative-free shampoos for hair care. The present investigation is focused on the formulation and evaluation of a nano-herbal hair spray with anti-dandruff properties, hair strength, and scalp nourishment via chitosan nanoparticles along with herbal extracts. Neem, fenugreek, and amla have been chosen with their established antifungal activity, antioxidant values, and capacity to strengthen the hair.
The herbal extracts were blended with a sprayable product using chitosan nanoparticles for improving ingredient stability, bioavailability, and antimicrobial preservation. Phytochemical analysis was done to ascertain the presence of primary active components. The formulation was tested for properties like pH, viscosity, sprayability, and microbiological resistance to evaluate stability and efficacy. The enhancing activity of chitosan nanoparticles towards bioavailability and providing antibacterial protection was also studied. To determine the impact of the hair spray on hair elasticity and resistance to breakage, tensile strength tests were carried out on hair samples.
Phytochemical screening validated the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, which are responsible for the therapeutic effectiveness of the spray. Stability studies proved that the formulation retained uniform pH, microbial resistance, and viscosity over time without the need for synthetic stabilizers. Chitosan nanoparticles added to greater antibacterial protection and better penetration of ingredients. Hair tensile strength tests showed that daily use of the nano-herbal hair spray significantly enhanced elasticity and breakage resistance.
These results show that the nano-herbal hair spray is a worthwhile and effective natural alternative to traditional cosmetic hair treatment products. The chitosan-strengthened formula provides a bioactive-high, non-greasy, and effortless-to-apply product that aids scalp nutrition and enhances healthier and stronger hair. Future studies will emphasize large-scale usage testing and longer clinical trials to substantiate its effectiveness and cost benefits.
