what exactly does Hawaiian ginger do?

I keep seeing ginger in new shampoos that say they moisturize but whenver I've used anything with ginger in it it just left my hair feeling coated. I thought it was a body builder not a moisturizer.

The products I used just didn't leave my hair soft but it may have either been other ingredients or the fact that my hair is very badly damaged. I've been wanting to try AO Jojoba and Aloe conditioner but can't afford it right now. Every salon I go to pushes protein products for colored or dry hair and I think they're starting to dry my hair more. Thanks for the info.
