Zingiber zerumbet, commonly known as shampoo ginger, is not only a striking tropical plant but also a versatile natural remedy for hair care, skin nourishment, and even culinary uses. With its lush green foliage and pine-cone-like inflorescences that ooze a fragrant, soapy liquid, this ginger relative is stealing the spotlight among gardeners, natural beauty lovers, and herbal enthusiasts around the world. Let’s explore everything about this incredible plantβ€”how to grow it, how to use it, and why your hair (and garden) will thank you! 🌺✨

🌱 What Is Zingiber Zerumbet (Shampoo Ginger)?

is shampoo ginger edible

Zingiber zerumbet, also known as ‘Awapuhi’ in Hawaii, is a species of ginger native to Southeast Asia but now found in tropical and subtropical regions globally. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family and is recognized for its distinctive reddish pine-cone shaped bracts, which are not flowers but modified leaves that hold a rich, aromatic liquid.

This fragrant gel-like liquid has traditionally been used as a natural shampoo and conditioner, hence the common name “shampoo ginger.” The plant can grow up to 3 to 6 feet tall and is prized for its ornamental foliage, therapeutic uses, and ease of cultivation. It’s not just prettyβ€”it’s incredibly functional.

One of the most popular uses of zingiber zerumbet shampoo ginger is its gel-filled cones that act like a ready-made hair treatment. When gently squeezed, the cone releases a fragrant, creamy liquid that can be used directly on hair and scalp.

This natural conditioner is gentle yet effective. It hydrates dry strands, adds shine, and reduces frizzβ€”all without chemicals or additives. It’s suitable for most hair types and ideal for those looking for plant-based alternatives to commercial hair products.

πŸ’§ How to Use Shampoo Ginger on Hair

How to use shampoo ginger is simple:

  • Squeeze the cone gently to release the juice.

  • Apply directly to scalp and hair strands.

  • Massage gently, then rinse with warm water.

  • Optional: Leave it in for 10–15 minutes as a deep conditioning mask.


  • Many users report that after just a few applications, their hair becomes softer, silkier, and noticeably healthier.
