Once Upon A Natural

Ginger,honey and garlic wash.

As always i like to experiment with different products before i introduce it to the people that take my advice, so lately i have been experimenting a ginger, honey and garlic wash. I have being using it every time i washed my hair and i love it. I took the list of benefits of each ingredient from other websites to help give you an insight on how they work for your hair, however, this concoction was all my idea.

Ginger has some very useful constituents which help to fight dry hair. As it naturally makes your scalp healthier and stronger, it also tends to boost your hair growth. It contains some circulatory agents too. These help to increase the circulation and blood flow through scalp which improves the growth of hair follicles. And when hair follicles are weakened or increased, they automatically boost your hair growth.It is also rich in fatty acids. It helps prevent the thinning of hair which leads to the reduction.

 If you have dry or damaged hair, honey can help. A natural humectant,honey attracts moisture. It's also full of antioxidants and nutrients to feed hair follicles that house the live part of hair, encouraging hair growth.

Garlic assists in attaining an excellent hair growth and helps in preventing hair fall.It helps in aiding follicles and eliminates harmful substances from the scalp.Garlic helps improve the texture of your hair and strengthens the roots.The compound allicin present in garlic helps in increasing the circulation of hemoglobin towards the scalp, thus minimising hair fall to a great extent.

 First start off by washing a single ginger properly, peeling the skin of completely and cutting it, usually small to medium slices. 

Peel a garlic and and cut it into slices also. This will allow the juice to be transferred more easily. 

Place the two ingredients in a pot of water , cover it up and allow it to boil. you can use half pot  of water or 3 quarter , it all depends on how big are small the size of the pot is that you are using.

Allow the mixture to boil until the water slightly changes colour . You can turn it off at this point or you can allow it to boil some more. The brighter the colour the more effective the wash will be.

When you turn of the stove and immediately add one teaspoon of honey to the mixture. 

WHEN TO USE THE WASH:

I recommend using the wash right after you've rinsed your hair of shampoo. This allow the wash to be more effective since your hair will be completely clean.

After you rinsed your hair of shampoo,place the mixture in a bath and add regular tap water to the mixture to the point where it becomes warm. Dip your hair in the wash and and use your hand to completely cover your hair with the wash. 

Water your hair out with cool tap water and you are finish. 

You can here or you can continue with other the things you usually doing on a regular wash day. Please also take into consideration that i wash my hair every 3 weeks or monthly.
