Hair plays a vital role in protecting the scalp and is an essential aspect of human appearance. Hair conditioner is a hair care formulation applied after shampooing, targeting the hair strands and tips to enhance their condition, and is then rinsed off. It helps improve hair manageability and imparts a shiny, healthy appearance. The primary goal of using a conditioner is to minimize friction between hair strands, making combing and styling easier. This study focused on developing an effective hair care formulation that aligns with consumer preferences and evaluating its performance. Three types of conditioners were created: Herbal Hair Conditioner, Synthetic Hair Conditioner, and Ayurvedic Hair Conditioner. The Herbal Conditioner featured rosemary as the key ingredient, while the Ayurvedic formulation included flaxseed, rice, and fenugreek seeds. These conditioner formulations were assessed based on their sensory (organoleptic) characteristics and various physicochemical properties, including pH, Dirt Dispersion Test, Cleaning Ability, and Stability.
