June 2023

Tired of taking two bottles into the shower? Simply snip off the club-shaped flower head of the shampoo ginger lily plant - you can't miss it; it's the one that looks like an embarrassed pinecone - and squeeze the spongy structure onto your scalp.

NATURE'S WEIRDEST... SHAMPOO GINGER LILY

The clear, fragrant liquid that is released, acts as both shampoo and conditioner, bringing a silky vibrancy to your hair that you never knew you were missing.
