does not treatment as possible as, dandruff can cause hair drop off. Dandruff
is caused by microorganism, especially fungal. Noni (Morinda citrifolia) fruit
has an activity as antifungal. The aim of this research was to know the
inhibition effect of Noni extract toward fungal isolates that can cause
dandruff. This research was exploration research. The steps in this research
included : (1). Isolation
microorganism from dandruff
on Potatos Dextro
Agar media by
Spread plate methode.
(2). Purification was done
to get a
pure fungi isolate

extract could inhibit the grow of 14 fungal isolates with diameter of
inhibition zone about 10 until 35 mm. Seven isolates could be blocked with
strong category (the diameter of inhibition zone ≥ 25 mm), namely : J4 (30 mm),
J5 (35 mm), J8 and J16 (26 mm), J13 (33 mm), J14 (25 mm), and J18 (28 mm). The conclusion of this
research is Noni fruit extract can be used as an alternative medicine to
