"Your hair is a statement of style, an affirmation of beauty, and an expression of self-love." - Ademola Mandela
Natural products are secondary metabolites and have multiple uses in the context of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), and their potential benefits in managing or treating this prevalent form of hair loss can be investigated. Data collection on natural products for androgenic alopecia aims to improve scientific understanding and potential treatment developments.
