I. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
General Problem
This study aims to ascertain the effectiveness of Eucalyptus Leaves
(Tasmanian blue gum) extracts, Turmeric (Curcuma longa) extracts and Virgin Coconut
Oil in making an Anti-Dandruff Hair Treatment
Specific Problem
Specifically it sought to answer the following:
Can Eucalyptus (Tasmanian blue gum) leaves and Turmeric
(Curcuma longa) extracts be used in making an anti-dandruff while
finding out and knowing if the Eucalyptus and Turmeric (Curcuma
longa) extracts about to be used are safe to our scalp?
Is there any significant difference between a commercial anti-
dandruff and Eucalyptus (Tasmanian blue gum) leaves with
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) extract anti-dandruff?
How does the shampoo solution react to dandruff?
II. HYPOTHESIS
We therefore conclude this study/experiment it will work the best. Because
90% of people having dandruff are not aware of its real cause and 75% of people having
dandruff do not use herbal remedies for its treatment instead of dandruff shampoos.
The other anti-dandruff ingredients are all different. Our homemade anti
dandruff treatment are the best that helps the dandruff removes and look good.

Recommendation
We recommends to the next researcher to conduct more trials of this
product to prove its effectiveness. The researchers recommend that the future studies
include the after effects of Eucalyptus extract and Turmeric extract as a treatment for
dandruff. The researchers’ other recommendations are the following:
Expand your knowledge on ways on how to create an anti-dandruff
shampoo with the mentioned materials.
Prepare for the experiment with ample time.
