Hair fall/ hair loss? You Gugo try this!

Hello po! Frens, if you're looking to get fuller, thicker, stronger hair, then count yourself lucky if you're from Mabuhay, Philippines! Because we have this magical bark called GUGO!

Since the time of our grandmothers, gugo has gained popularity due to its effects. Right now though, due to the influx of numerous foreign commercial brands, the younger generation might not be too familiar with it.

But if you suffer from hair fall and you did your research, it's back to basics time with gugo (and aloe vera too). Gugo is also anti-inflammatory and treats dry scalp.

The older people really do possess wisdom and experience - though they might lack scientific studies to back up their claims, the tales passed down from cumulative years of experience will tell - they were always RIGHT! That is why one should always respect and never just shrug off their advice. Be it with regards to food, binat, pasador, etc. There are far too many dis-ease now that were not existing or were not as rampant before. A multitude of ailments that modern science does not even know the cause nor cure - except for managing symptoms or worse, the short cut route - surgery! I am a fan of holistic healing and not synthetic drugs. As Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, said, "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food." Anyway, I am already babbling and straying from the topic at hand LOL.

These are my recent gugo shampoo products - Marietha's Gugo tropical herbal extract priced at Php 124.75 and Milcu Herbal Gugo shampoo which costs Php 99.75.

Now Marietha's is darker and thicker, while Milcu has thinner consistency plus you can see some brown dots which I assume is from ground gugo. 

Notice in the ingredients list, Marietha's also lists gugo higher (just second to water) which means it has more of this extract and it truly is their primary ingredient.

I think Marietha's does a better job against hair fall. But price wise, and due to the reason that it comes in 3 different scents, Milcu is also a winner. 

I am not endorsing or saying just buy these 2. It is up to you which you prefer for there are other brands like Daila and more that you can also try. I have also used others including Forest Magic and Zenutrients. Find out which is hiyang or works best for you. The important thing is it has REAL gugo.

Recently I was able to try a new release, Ottoke from Asian Beauty Feels (available online thru Shopee, Lazada, Tiktok shop). I have to say it's one of the most potent yet as I feel that it thickens strands right from the very first use. Not only combats hair fall/ hair loss but graying hair as well by combining natural ingredients gugo, aloe vera and henna. Make sure to always follow with its partner conditioner to bring back the softness and silkiness of your hair. They also have sales and promos monthly and you could get them at 50% off with discount voucher. 

We also have aloe vera plant in our garden but sometimes I could be lazy or find it bothersome to do the process but it is said to thicken hair too. Anyway, fortunately I was already born with hair with thick strands (inherited it from father's side). But sometimes I notice hair fall (due to stress, medication, or other factors) and I love to turn to natural remedies to address the situation.
