Abstract
A pine extract combined with a bamboo extract and/or a Japanese apricot extract effectively promotes the growth and regeneration of hair for human and animals. Administration of these compounds leads to no substantial side effects. The topically applied hair restorer containing these compounds is also effective in the prevention of alopecias, as well as in the protection of falling out of hair, dandruff, and itching of the scalp. These properties render these compounds useful in hair restorers for human and animals.
