Citrus fruits are consumed all over the world, including Europe, the United States, and Asia, and are widely used not only as food but also in cosmetics.
Although much research has been done into the physiological activity of citrus fruits and their main components, the detailed relationship between citrus fruits and hair growth still remains unclear.
