I believe that if you are troubled by hair loss, you must have heard of the routine of "ginger for hair loss".
Ginger juice rub the scalp.
Shampoo with ginger.
Is it good to use?!
Let's listen to the breakdown below
Ginger is said to cure hair loss
If you want to talk about the theory that ginger can cure hair loss, most people "listen to the old man". YesThe hair loss that the old man is talking about is not our current hair loss, but "alopecia areata".
Mao ginger does have a record of alopecia areata. ButMost alopecia areata will heal on its own even if you don't apply ginger。Not to mentionGinger and ginger are not the same thing
So in fact, whether ginger can cure hair loss is not fully clinically verified, but it is just a folk recipe.
Most of the theories that have been circulated about ginger rubbing the scalp to treat hair loss are: "Use gingerol, gingerol and other ingredients in ginger to dilate blood vessels, promote blood circulation, and stimulate hair follicle growth." "Most of the related ginger shampoos are also based on this theory of propaganda.
But! Not only can it not grow hair, but it may even lead to hair loss!!
Ginger can aggravate hair loss
In 2014, an article was published in the international journal PLOS ONE, which was dedicated to the development of ginger.
The length, thickness, and growth cycle of hair are all controlled by the hair papilla cells in the hair follicle, or DPCS for shortAny ingredient that affects DPCS will affect hair growth.
WhileThe 6-gingerol in ginger inhibits hair growth by causing apoptosis of DPSS cells
Therefore, ginger not only can't lose hair, but it will also backfire and even affect the survival of hair follicles! (After the hair follicle is inactive, there is no way**, only hair transplant hair follicle).
Japan's Miyoko Terato has also developed the use of ginger extract as a depilatory agent.
Ginger isn't all bad
In addition to 6-gingerol, which inhibits hair growth, ginger also contains a component called gingerone. Gingerol, gingerol oil, and other ingredients in gingerol ketones can promote blood circulation.
In addition to turning hair into blood, it promotes blood circulation and accelerates the telogen phase of the scalp growth cycle, which can indeed promote hair growth.
In addition to this, ginger has also been shown to have a good antibacterial effect. Many itchy and dandruff phenomena are mainly caused by fungal and bacterial infections. Ginger has an inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus variant, and can also relieve dermatitis caused by anionic surfactants.
Therefore, some ingredients in ginger can inhibit the potential risk of hair loss and prevent hair loss.
But don't use it without following your doctor's instructions!!
Ginger isn't all bad
Many people are starting to get confused when they see this, why do they say that ginger can make hair loss worse, and at the same time say that ginger can prevent hair loss?
In fact, whether ginger can cure hair loss depends on which type of hair loss we have.
Such as alopecia areata, pregnancy hair loss, postpartum hair loss, etc., have a certain effect. (Be sure to diagnose the type first).
However, seborrheic alopecia, hereditary alopecia, androgenetic alopecia, etc., which are thin, soft, oily, and thin, have no effect or even aggravate hair loss. (6-gingerol can damage new fine hairs).
Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by dihydrotestosterone to attack the hair follicles, and ginger has nothing to do about it.
There are phytoses. Healthy hair follicles make for healthy hair.
