Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Celosia, particularly Celosia argentea, has a history of traditional use in various cultures, especially in African and Asian folk medicine. In some traditional practices, extracts from the leaves, flowers, or seeds are used in topical preparations or as rinses purported to promote hair growth, improve scalp health, or prevent hair loss. However, these uses are primarily anecdotal and passed down through generations without rigorous documentation. There is little to no scientific research or clinical evidence specifically investigating Celosia for hair care or growth. The available studies on Celosia focus mostly on its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, which may theoretically be beneficial for scalp health, but direct evidence for its efficacy in hair care is lacking. Therefore, while its use for hair care is supported by tradition in certain cultures, the scientific validation for these claims is minimal, resulting in a low evidence rating.
