When it comes to hair problems, one of the most difficult to solve is thinning hair. Women are always looking for the latest, greatest thinning hair remedy without the expensive procedure of hair implants. Perhaps we shouldn’t be looking toward the future, and instead examine the past. Gugo — Entada Phaseoloides — is a large vine plant found throughout forests in the Philippines. It has been extensively used in the Philippines as a shampoo ingredient an for hair treatments. Filipino people of yesteryear would gather bark from Gugo trees, soak it in cold water, then squeeze out the juice to use as shampoo. They would also rub the soaked Gugo barks on their scalp, perhaps as a thinning hair remedy. The most active ingredient of Gugo are Saponins, a class of chemical compounds found in abundance in various plant species. Gugo has been reported to cure eczema, prevent dandruff, increase hair volume, strengthen hair, and prevent thinning hair. Women who use hair products with Gugo have reported thicker, fuller hair.
