ABSTRACT
Diffuse hair loss is a common, non-scarring condition characterized by uniform thinning of hair across the scalp. It often results from disturbances in the hair growth cycle, particularly an increase in the number of follicles entering the telogen (resting) phase, a condition known as telogen effluvium. Diffuse cyclical hair loss, though not life-threatening, can significantly affect self-esteem and quality of life. Early assessment and appropriate intervention help in preventing progression and promoting healthy hair regrowth. This clinical study evaluated effectiveness of Rosmarinum officinalis mother tincture in improving volume and density of hair using hair shedding visual scale and ponytail thickness test. Statistical analysis revealed a highly significant improvement in hair parameters.
