Now cures more than just a fun day in the sun.
Aloe Vera is widely known for its many benefits, but did you know you can use Aloe Vera for hair?
This one plant can do so much for our beauty routine. But that’s not even the best part… You no longer need to sell your soul just to be able to afford one hair product. You can grow an unlimited supply yourself!
We all have skincare routines, and it’s time we start working on our scalp care. Your scalp is equivalent to skin, which means it deserves its own routine.
It is a known fact that Aloe Vera can help cure sunburns because of its anti-inflammatory properties. In other words, if you have an itchy or flaky scalp, Aloe Vera is your new best friend. Studies have shown Aloe Vera was even able to calm the most severe cases of itchy scalp called Seborrheic Dermatitis.
Shiny locks are something every one strides for. I mean, we can’t all be blessed with great hair genes like Selena Gomez… According to Healthline, Aloe Vera “contains vitamins A, C, and E. All three of these vitamins contribute to cell turnover, promoting healthy cell growth and shiny hair.”
In turn, your hair will grow stronger. As if that wasn’t enough, B-12 and folic acid can also be found in Aloe Vera gel. These two ingredients prevent hair from falling out.
With so many conditioning properties, there are tons of different ways you can use Aloe Vera for hair softening. One of the most popular ways is using it as a hair mask. Just rub the inside of the plant directly on to your hair, leave it on for a while and rinse out. You can even use it as a gel, just proceed with caution. This one might get a little crunchy.
There has been lots of talk on whether Aloe Vera can help with hair growth, so what is the verdict? While Aloe Vera doesn’t directly affect hair growth, it does have many purifying ingredients that can detoxify the scalp.
By cleansing the scalp, you are opening up the hair follicles and allowing them to breathe. If you are regularly conditioning your hair, you will have less breakage. Less breakage = more hair!
Your hair grows from your scalp. So basically, if you’re taking good care of your scalp it will always result in healthier hair.
Next time you feel your hair or skin in need of a pick me up, remember this power plant. It’s the perfect all in one beauty product that you can get without breaking the bank.
