This study is assessing the effectiveness of a topical hair serum containing Ageratum. 

Ageratum is a sub-tropical herb, traditionally used for its medicinal properties on a wide range of conditions including wound healing and other skin related complaints.

The hair serum is applied to your entire scalp, twice daily, morning and night.

As this is an open label study, all participants will be on the active treatment, Ageratum serum.

Recent research on Ageratum conyzoides showed positive effects on hair health and it’s possible that the plant biochemicals found in Ageratum may reduce grey hair density and appearance.

Your involvement in the study will be for 12 weeks. Some of the study requirements can be completed online at home, however, you will be required to attend four clinic visits at Week 0, Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12. 

At each clinic visit you will complete a range of assessments including height, weight, blood pressure, pulse rate, grey hair density and percentage assessments and a short questionnaire.  Photographs of your scalp will be taken as part of the assessments. You will also be required to apply the topical hair serum morning and night for 12 weeks.

The information we collect during the study will enable the investigators to assess the hair serum’s effectiveness.   

To make the timings of these visits as convenient as possible for you, we are recruiting on a rolling basis. This means that your individual start date is flexible. The RDC Clinic is open 6 days a week (from 6.30am).
