A great variety of plants are used in hair care - nettle, chamomile, hop cones, aloe juice, burdock root (in the form of burdock oil). It makes sense to expand this list and - for the sake of beauty and shine of curls - include in it a home remedy, such as, for example, a ginger hair mask.
In what cases and how can ginger help?
The benefits of ginger hair
Before telling you how to properly use ginger root for hair, it will not hurt to find out what substances the underground part of the Asian plant Zingiber of Roscoe (or Amomum zingiber L.) contains, and, of course, what is the use of ginger for hair and skin of the hairy part heads.
To begin with, today about 500 different chemical substances have been found in the composition of this stewberry and medicinal plant. 100 g of fresh ginger root contains: thiamine (vitamin B1) - 0.05 mg, riboflavin (B2) - 0.17 mg, nicotinic acid (B 3) - 9.6 mg, pantothenic acid (B5) - almost 0, 5 mg, pyridoxine (B6) - 0.6 mg, folic acid (B9) - 13 μg, vitamin C - 0.7 mg. Of the micro and macro elements most of potassium (13 g), magnesium (214 mg), phosphorus (168 mg), calcium (114 mg). There is also manganese, iron and zinc.
Non-volatile phenylpropanoid derivatives gingerol, shogaol, and eugenol give a sharply spicy taste to the ginger root, and add capsaicin (an alkaloid that is contained in bitter pepper). The peculiar smell of ginger is due to its essential oil consisting of terpenes (zingiberen, beta-bisabolene, farnesene) and monoterpenes (beta-fellladrin, curcumin, cineole and citral). All these substances - antibacterial active, in addition, citral, gingerol and shogahol have anti-allergic properties, capsaicin, curcumin and eugenol - anti-inflammatory, citral, cineole, gingerol and farnezen - antiseptics. As you can see, ginger essential oil for hair can have a serious healing effect.
Ginger root contains natural fatty acids (lauric, linoleic, linolenic, etc.), which nourish the hair roots, as well as promote faster growth and healthy hair.
Ginger is not a relative of cedar or fir, but, nevertheless, its root is composed of resin that protects against rotting, and resin contains resin (teprenic) acids, including abietic acid, which is active against viruses. And melatonin, the source of which is ginger root, is a powerful natural antioxidant, and more powerful than glutathione and vitamin E.
Ginger hair treatment
To make ginger hair treatment as effective as possible, it is recommended to use fresh ginger.
Due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the plant, a mask for hair with ginger is useful for oily hair, with excessive secretion of fat by the skin of the scalp. For its preparation, you need to rub a piece of the cleaned root on the smallest grater (piece length is about 5-6 cm), squeeze the juice from the rubbed mass and apply it on the scalp (with a tampon or dipping fingers in the juice). In parallel - rubbing movements - you massage the skin, which is also very useful.
By the way, this is how it is necessary to use ginger for hair growth. The juice should be completely absorbed into the skin (it will dry out too much), and for this the duration of the procedure should be at least 40-45 minutes. Then the head is washed in the usual way, but it is better to dry the hair in a natural way (without a hair dryer), since under the action of terpenes and capsaicin the blood circulation in the scalp increases. In this case, the hair follicles receive more nutrients, oxygen, and, consequently, the growth and condition of the hair improves.
In addition, methoxyphenolic derivatives in the composition of ginger (dehydrozingerone, veta-isogingerone, etc.) are active against fungal diseases and in addition contribute to a decrease in the intensity of keratin proliferation. And this means that ginger juice for hair is useful in the presence of dandruff.
Passing advice: do not throw away the rubbed root after extracting the juice, but fill it with liter of hot water for about an hour, strain. The result is a medicated conditioner for normal and greasy hair.
With dry hair and dried scalp, a mask for ginger hair is prepared like this: mix a tablespoon of grated root with two tablespoons of any vegetable oil, apply the mixture to the scalp, wrap your head in polyethylene and a towel for 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water and then wash with shampoo.
Ginger against hair loss
The Chinese traditionally use ginger root to treat colds, abdominal pain and diarrhea, nausea, edema, rheumatism, toothache, snake bites and ... baldness.
Ginger to strengthen the hair also involves the use of freshly squeezed juice. The simplest mask for hair with ginger is prepared from a mixture of juice with raw egg yolk (for one yolk 3-4 teaspoons of juice). As it should be, tie your head for at least half an hour with a scarf or towel.
For prematurely balding men, ginger against hair loss can be applied in the form of masks: with yolk and burdock oil - for dry hair, with honey and aloe juice - for oily. And you can apply to the scalp (and lightly rub) pure ginger juice - on dry hair, and after an hour just wash your hair. This procedure is done twice a week for at least a month.
Powdered ginger can replace fresh ginger in a ratio of one to five. Dry ginger hair is used to prepare a firming mask, which includes: dry ground ginger (3 teaspoons), yogurt or kefir (50 ml), natural honey (1 teaspoon). This mask is made every 7-10 days. Hair becomes stronger and healthier, and the scalp ceases to peel off.
It should be noted that the available reviews about ginger for hair speak about the unconditional effectiveness of using ginger for treating hair and as a prophylactic agent. Ginger is a unique tool that improves the structure and growth of hair, gives hair strength and shine, helps prevent hair loss and dandruff.

Impact Features
The spicy smell and burning taste, which distinguishes the ginger root, due to the special chemical composition of its constituent essential oil, in which there are up to 150 organic compounds. The main active ingredient of the plant is zingeberen (zingibern), and its “burning” effect is due to gingerol, whose action is similar to the action of the components contained in pepper. Also, the root is very rich in starch, fats, it contains a large group of amino acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C.
Among the micronutrients presented are magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, calcium, potassium, sodium.
The effect of gingerol produces a vasodilating effect and a rush of blood to the area of skin with which ginger comes in contact. The combined effect of the remaining elements produces an antimicrobial and antifungal effect, promotes cell regeneration, accelerates metabolic processes and normalizes the sebaceous glands. Such properties are used to strengthen the hair, stimulate their growth, improve the scalp. This plant also helps to restore the structure of brittle strands, strengthen their fissile ends, and make the surface smooth and shiny..
Beauty recipes
A positive effect to strengthen the hair and stop baldness can be obtained from the use of both fresh and dry product. The most active action is fresh juice. To obtain it, the root is finely rubbed and squeezed through a cloth, then rubbed into the scalp. After that, it is wrapped in heat, and an hour and a half later it is washed with warm water without shampoo. This procedure eliminates excess fat, activates the bulbs, fights fungi that cause dandruff.
For activating growth, improving the scalp and improving the structure of the curls, a so-called “Indian” mask is used, for the preparation of which the juice and ginger powder are mixed in a ratio of 2 to 1. This mixture is applied for an hour, then washed off with water. However, it should be remembered that the fresh root has a very strong effect, the warming effect of such a procedure is not always favorable and can provoke an increase in blood pressure.
A ten-minute head massage using juice or diluted powder is enough. A good effect is produced by washing with a decoction: a tablespoon of the root is half a liter of water.
Recovery methods
For dry and brittle hair, the product is mixed with vegetable oil (olive, almond, jojoba, etc.) in a ratio of 2 to 3. This mask is held for half an hour and washed off with shampoo. For weakened and fissile hair, a mask is prepared from one yolk, ginger powder and honey (a tablespoon), if necessary, the amount of ingredients is proportionally increased. It is applied to the entire length of the curls, especially at their tips, and kept under the plastic cap for half an hour, shampoo when rinsing is not necessary.
Lightening effect
Regular use of ginger allows you to lighten the strands on one tone. To do this, rub the rubbed root with water just above the surface and cook for 20 minutes. This broth is rubbed daily into the hair (not washed off). For a more radical clarification, they prepare a composition of 2 tablespoons of grated product, juice of half a lemon and a glass of beer. Mixture hold for half an hour, wash off with cool water.
