The document describes a project to create an herbal hair oil formulation using Neem, Amla, Onion, Coconut oil, and Tulsi. These herbs were selected for their traditional use in promoting hair growth, preventing hair fall and dandruff. The methodology involved precisely weighing and grinding the fresh herbs and mixing them into coconut oil. The resulting herbal oil was evaluated and found to be thick, brownish red in color and texture with characteristic odor. Skin irritation tests found the oil to be non-irritating. The discussion indicates the selected herbs are effective for hair growth, strength, moisture and reducing hair fall based on their properties.

Preparation
Precisely all the fresh herbs like Neem, Amla, Tulsi and Onion were weighed and grinded in the mixture an
mixed in the 40% of coconut Oil.
The above content was filtered through the muslin cloth.
Finally, the herbal oil was placed in the transparent bottle and stored at the room temperature.

5. Results
S. No. Parameter Observation
1 Colour Brown
2 Odour Characteristic
3 Specific gravity 1.09
4 Viscosity 0.9 pascal second
5 pH 6.1
6 Saponification value 223.05 mg KOH/g
7 Acid Value 1.04
8 Spreadability 95.9
9 Skin irritation Non-irritant
10 Sensitivity Non-sensitizing

6. DISCUSSION
• The result of various properties evaluated indicates that the herbal preparation of hair oil
was thick in texture, brownish red in colour and there was no change in the odour as the
odour was characteristic. Neem promotes hair growth, onion fights dandruff and
