To Activate Hair Growth
To Activate Hair Growth Ginger stimulates blood circulation to improve the health of your scalp — and when your hair follicles are happy, they grow faster. Treat your follicles to some love with ginger juice spritzed onto the scalp directly before styling. Another option is to mix the juice with castor oil in a 1:3 ratio and apply to scalp two to three times per week for a half hour before shampooing it out.

To make the ginger juice, peel the ginger root with a vegetable peeler and slice it into small pieces. Mix into 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for five minutes. Cool off the mixture and strain out the ginger. You keep it in the refrigerator for a month.
