Ginger's use in haircare dates back centuries in various cultures. Modern research is now confirming its traditional applications, revealing ginger's potential to promote healthy hair. Gingerol, a bioactive compound in ginger, may improve blood circulation to the scalp. This can nourish hair follicles and potentially promote hair growth. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe an irritated scalp and reduce dandruff symptoms like flaking and itching.
