Abstract:
The black mulberry (Morus nigra L.) has gained a lot of attention in the hair care industry because of its capacity to promote hair development and preserve scalp health, which is a result of its varied phytochemical makeup. Apart from these vitamins, black mulberries are abundant in minerals and bioactive substances like resveratrol, flavonoids, and anthocyanin’s. These substances are well known for their potent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant qualities, which make them crucial for stimulating hair follicles and improving a variety of scalp disorders. Black mulberry's capacity to improve blood flow to the scalp is especially remarkable because it makes it easier for vital nutrients to reach the hair roots. This review will examine the complex bioactive processes of black mulberry and evaluate its potential as a treatment for common issues like dandruff, hair loss, and other issues pertaining to the scalp. Investigations into the long-term effects of black mulberry on hair regeneration will also be covered, as well as how it can be successfully added to hair care products. In the end, the results might show that black mulberry is a promising natural substitute for synthetic hair care products, providing a comprehensive strategy that satisfies consumer need for sustainable and plant-based products. Further investigation into this topic might open up new possibilities for using black mulberry to create natural hair care products that work.
