Kerontokan rambut merupakan salah satu masalah yang banyak menyebabkan gangguan pada kulit kepala dan rambut. Kerontokan rambut disebabkan oleh banyak faktor, salah satu pengobatan untuk masalah kerontokan rambut adalah dengan menggunakan penumbuh rambut (hair tonic) alami. Tanaman yang dapat digunakan sebagai penumbuh rambut alami adalah pare terutama pada daging buahnya (Momordica charantia L.). Daging buah pare digunakan sebagai penumbuh rambut karena mengandung saponin, flavonoid, senyawa fenol dan alkaloid.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui aktivitas ekstrak etanol pare sebagai penumbuh rambut serta mengetahui konsentrasi yang optimal dari ekstrak etanol pare sebagai penumbuh rambut. Penelitian ini bersifat eksperimental murni dengan rancangan penelitian acak lengkap pola searah menggunakan perlakuan ekstrak etanol pare pada konsentrasi 20% b/v, 40% b/v, 60% b/v dan 80% b/v. Pengamatan dilakukan dengan menghitung tingkat pertumbuhan rambut pada hewan percobaan kelinci. Data yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini akan dihitung dengan AGD (Average Growth Daily gain) kemudian dianalisa secara statistik dengan menggunakan metode Analysis of varians (Anova) dengan taraf nyata 0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak etanol pare mempunyai efek sebagai penumbuh rambut dengan aktivitas paling tinggi pada konsentrasi 80% b/v dan yang paling optimal pada konsentrasi 20% b/v.

ABSTRACT
Hair loss is one of many issues that cause disruption to the scalp and hair. Hair loss is caused by many factors, one treatment for hair loss problem is to use a hair grower (hair tonic) naturally. Plants that can be used as a natural hair grower is mainly the fruit of bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.). Bitter melon fruit is
used as a hair grower because it contains saponins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and alkaloids.
This study aims to determine the activity of ethanol extract of bitter melon fruit as a hair grower and to know the optimum concentration of the ethanolic extract of bitter melon fruit as a hair grower. This was a experimental research with completely randomized study design with concentration treatment of the ethanol extract of bitter melon fruit by 20% w/v, 40% w/v, 60% w/v and 80% w/v. Observations made by calculating the rate of hair growth in experimental animals rabbits. Data obtained from this study calculated by AGD (Average Daily Growth-gain) and then analyzed statistically using Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the actual level of 0,105. The results showed that ethanol extract of bitter melon fruit has the effect as a hair grower with the highest activity at a concentration of 80% w/v and the most optimal at a concentration of 20% w/v.
