Ginger’s zinc content also helps to minimize scalp inflammation.
Below are three extremely effective ginger hair care methods that women should know:
1. Shampoo with fresh ginger water
This is the simplest and easiest method, but it still yields desired results. According to research, pure ginger water nourishes hair from within, reducing breakage and damage.
Ginger is an affordable and easily accessible ingredient that can quickly improve your hair.
Preparation method
Step 1: Prepare 1-2 ginger roots, clean and crush them.
Do not peel the ginger as the skin contains many beneficial nutrients for the hair.
Step 2: Put the crushed ginger in a pot of water and bring it to a boil.
Step 3: After boiling, remove the ginger and only use the water. Allow it to cool.
Shampoo and rinse your hair as usual. Finally, rinse your hair with the cooled ginger water and gently dry it with a soft towel. Allow it to air dry.
2. Hair conditioning with rice water and fresh ginger
While fresh ginger nourishes hair from within, rice water is rich in vitamins and minerals that make hair soft and shiny, promoting faster hair growth.
Combining ginger and rice water is an easy hair care formula that can be done at home.
Preparation method
Step 1: Clean the fresh ginger and leave the skin on. Crush it.
Step 2: When washing rice, keep the second batch of rice water.
Step 3: Put the crushed ginger into the second batch of rice water and boil it.
Step 4: After boiling, remove the ginger and only use the water. Cool it down and pour it into a spray bottle to spray on the scalp or into a small bottle for hair conditioning.
Instead of spending a lot of money on hair care products, you can make your own affordable hair conditioner with ginger.
After shampooing, gently pat your hair dry with a towel. Then, spray the rice water and ginger mixture on your scalp. Blow-dry your hair until it is 70-80% dry, and then spray the mixture on your hair again.
After shampooing, pour the mixture into small bottles and apply it to your hair. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes, and then rinse it off with water.
To maximize the effectiveness of the rice water and ginger mixture, you can use it as a hair conditioner twice a week.
3. Hair conditioning with ginger, olive oil, and lemon
Those who prefer at-home skin and hair care methods are likely familiar with olive oil, a “miracle” oil for skin and hair care. Research shows that olive oil contains antioxidants that promote healthy hair growth. Additionally, this “miracle” oil is packed with nutrients that nourish the hair, fight bacteria, remove dandruff, cleanse the scalp, and give hair a healthy shine and softness.
Combining ginger with olive oil and lemon, which is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, helps promote hair growth and reduce breakage, will give you healthy, soft, and shiny hair.
Instructions
First, prepare 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger juice, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and ½ teaspoon of lemon juice. Then, mix these ingredients in a bowl.
Step 1: Wet your hair and apply the mixture to your scalp.
Step 2: Leave it on for 30 minutes, and then shampoo as usual.
Conditioning your hair with ginger, olive oil, and lemon will give you lustrous hair.
The above are three simple yet highly effective methods of hair care using fresh ginger that can be done at home. Give them a try to achieve a smooth, voluminous, and thick head of hair!
