Introduction
.....................................................
White hair is a problem that many individuals have or are presently experiencing. People are often embarrassed to
have this problem since it makes them appear old. When a person is deficient in nutrients and under excessive stress,
white hairs appear; all of the subsequent arrangements cause the hair to become unhealthy and faulty. The pigment
melanin or hair is affected, resulting in white hair. People tend to buy shampoos but they can be rather costly. Rambutan
(Nephelium lappaceum) is one of the local fruits that can be utilized to minimize white hairs. Its leaves include saponins,
tannins, and polyphenols, which can help prevent white hairs. Making this is also quite simple and does not require any
expensive supplies because you will simply just do the following; Collection of materials, Preparation of the right
proportions of the extract of Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum), Preparation of Different Concentrations, Testing the
Potential of the Product, Recording, Analyzing, and Interpretation of data. Because of the abundance of Rambutan
(Nephelium lappaceum) trees, the leaves can be used to generate cash in addition to the fruit. Through this procedure,
families that are selling Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) will be helped by buying the leaves from the tree. The leaves
not only prevent growing gray/silver hairs but also reduce hair loss, maintain the health of your scalp, etc. The objective of
this study is to determine the efficiency of Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) leaves extract in reducing white hairs. The
setting of the study will be Malaya, Pililla, Rizal, Malaya Integrated National High School from February 3 until the month
of May. Weighted Mean and One-Way ANOVA will be used in this experiment. The following research study aims to make
a natural and easy-to-make shampoo using the extract of Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) leaves that will help people
with white hair, the environment, and future researchers.

Statement of the Problem
.....................................................
This study aims to determine the level of efficiency of Rambutan
(Nephelium lappaceum) leaves in reducing white hairs.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of efficiency of Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) leaves
extract in reducing white hairs in terms of texture, color, appearance, and
aroma compared to commercial hair color products?
2. Is there a significant difference in the ability of Rambutan (Nephelium
lappaceum) leaves extract in reducing white hairs in terms of texture, color,
appearance, and aroma compared to commercial hair color products?

Significance of the Study
.....................................................
The following group of people will be benefited:
People with white hair – The findings and the least expensive findings of
this study will help people with white hair to save their expenses in buying
commercial hair coloring products and going to the parlors.
Environment – Traditional shampoos and conditioners often contain
harmful chemicals that can be harmful to the environment. Natural hair care
products like this one will be more sustainable and eco-friendly.
Future researchers – The findings of this study will serve as an influence
to future researchers to gather data about the leaves of the fruits they have
nearby on what they can do.

Foreign and Local Literatures

Foreign Literature
• Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) is an exotic fruit native to
Southeast Asia, grown in Mexico. Its nutritional and functional
attributes are important for its marketing and acceptance, and
Mexico is one of the major producers and exporters. Hernández,
Aguilar, Rodríguez, Flores, Morlett, Govea, and Ascacio, (2019)
• The Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) is a member of the family
Sapindaceae. It is used in various ways to serve the interests of
the nutraceutical and industrial sectors, as well as to develop the
livelihood quality of growers. Studies have shown that the leaf part
of the rambutan is good for giving good effects on hair.
Bhattacharjee, Das, Das, Chander, (2022)
• Aging causes a decline in the quantity and activity of melanocytes
in the hair bulb, eventually vanishing from the white hair bulb.
Graying occurs in the majority of people, albeit it begins at
different ages and in different grades. Fernandez-Flores, Saeb-
Lima, and Cassarino, (2019)
Local Literature
• Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum), a seasonal fruit with a particular flavor and color,
is widely available in Asian countries with tropical climates. It is promoted in these
nations for home and commercial purposes. Popular in the Philippines, Malaysia,
and Thailand is this fruit-bearing tree. These countries all produce rambutans, with
Thailand producing the most. In the Philippines, rambutans are widely consumed.
Flowers bloom from late March to early May, and full fruit is produced from August to
October. The nation's rambutan production varies from year to year. The findings
indicate that Region IV-A is one of the top regions for rambutan production.
Gimongala, et. Al. (2020)
• Scientists have verified that the fruit rambutan is exceptionally rich in many
vitamins, minerals, and other useful plant substances. This may explain why
rambutan leaves can be used in reducing white hairs Gaas, (2021)
• The number of fatty acids in the rambutan seed extract was quantified using the
saponification, halogenation, and von Baeyers tests. During the saponification test, it
was discovered that after heating the extract with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), suds
had formed. In a halogenation test, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) was added
to rambutan seed extract, and when bromine water was added, the bromine water
lost its color. However, when Von Baeyers reagent was added, the potassium
permanganate (KMnO4) also lost its color. It is suggested that more be done in light
of the investigation's conclusions. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested
that more research be done to determine if rambutan seed extract has any additional
applications, such as preventing hair whitening. Agarin, Panaliganwas, and
Camongol (2017)

Foreign Study
• •
In a study by Mara, and Parasibu, (2022) they stated that to
change the color of hair, such as gray hair, natural hair dyes can
be used. Because rambutan leaves contain tannins and saponins,
which can generate yellow, brown, or golden colors, rambutan
leaves can be used as a natural hair dye.

Sarguna, Sundaram, and Suresh (2019) with a primary focus on

Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) protein within melanocytes in
anagen hair follicle bulbs.
Local Study
Bernardo and Laureta reported in a study paper from 2020 that
colorants were created from organic materials like plants and
animals. The biosphere contains more than 500 plant types that
produce natural hair dyes. In light of the widespread concern
about the use of environmentally friendly and biodegradable
products, the use of natural dyes has undoubtedly regained
popularity and momentum.
organic product searches have always been prevalent in the
neighborhood. The researchers developed and tested a semi-
