Introduction
Shampoo ginger (awapuhi) and its traditional use in Pacific hair-care practices.
Botanical Background
Shampoo ginger (Zingiber zerumbet), also called pinecone ginger, is a tropical member of the ginger family. It differs from the ginger commonly used in cooking. Its mature cone-shaped flower heads release a fragrant liquid when gently squeezed.
Traditional Hair & Body Care
The flower's liquid has been used for generations as a traditional hair cleanser and conditioner. These practices do not establish a medically proven scalp treatment or hair-growth benefit.
