Does burdock help with hair loss?!


Question:

Does burdock help with hair loss?

I see products being sold to help with hair loss where the "active ingredient" is burdock extract. Is there any study showing the effectiveness of burdock extract to prevent hair loss or promote hair growth compared to placebo?

The only information I found about this is from Wikipedia:

Burdock root oil extract, also called Bur oil, is popular in Europe as a scalp treatment applied to improve hair strength, shine and body, help reverse scalp conditions, and combat hair loss. It is used as a natural hair oil to help get rid of scalp itching and dandruff, promote healing of skin and scalp conditions. Modern studies indicate that Burdock root oil extract is rich in phytosterols and essential fatty acids (including rare long chain EFAs), the nutrients required to maintain healthy scalp and promote natural hair growth. Regular use of Burdock oil helps restore and maintain healthy scalp and hair.
