Banana trees are very familiar with the lives of Indonesian people. Almost all parts of this tree can be used, ranging from fruit, leaves to stems. On the other hand, banana trees can only bear fruit once so the banana trees that have been fruiting are then cut down or left to die on their own. In fact, banana humps contain anthraquinone which can be used as a substitute for Minoxidil in synthetic hair tonics. The availability of abundant and unused raw materials inspires UNY students to make hair tonic from banana hump waste as a powerful natural hair care solution.
