Recently, as more and more people complain of hair loss caused by environmental factors such as micro dust, air pollution, and stress, the demand for anti-hair loss shampoos is increasing. However, people who have actually used anti-hair loss shampoo complained of the unpleasant scent of the shampoo and uncomfortable feeling such as the hair extension after use. Satisfaction is low because of the effects that do not meet these expectations. This study confirmed the antibacterial and antioxidant effects of cinnamon extract in applications to hair loss prevention shampoo. In order to verify the antibacterial and antioxidant effects of cinnamon extract, a free radical scavenging method using a disk diffusion method and DPPH solution was performed. Through the disk diffusion method, it was confirmed that cinnamon extract had antibacterial activity against four bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Propionibacterium acnes. In addition, the free radical scavenging ability was confirmed using a DPPH solution.
