The standardization parameters of the gel are viscosity, pH, Homogeneity, Spread ability, content uniformity, skin irritation test all were carried out to bring a quality, purity and safety of the prepared gel formulation with the reference who applied gel without the extract. The growth of hair measured by trichoscope and the growth was completely observed after the 90 days hence, from these studies it is concluded that the prepared poly herbal gel containing Lagenaria siceraria, Trichosanthis cucumarina, and Tridax procumbens proved hair growth activity
