Aloe vera is one of the greatest gifts of nature that has the power to solve all your hair and skin problems. Aloe Vera stimulates blood circulation that triggers your hair growth. It has the power to detoxify your scalp and maintain its PH level thus it helps in removing build-up and treating your dandruff and hair fall effectively. I love using aloe vera in my hair care and skin care routine. I usually extract fresh aloe vera gel or grind the gel with water to make juice that is less sticky instead of purchasing the aloe vera gel or juice from the market. I usually use Aloe vera in 5 different ways: for treating my dandruff, hair loss, frizzy hair, treating dull hair, deep conditioning my hair, hair growth and what not. My personal favorite DIY using aloe vera is hair mask for frizzy hair. I mix freshly extracted aloe vera gel with overnight soaked fenugreek seeds and just grind them together to form the mask. This mask instant adds shine and moisture to your hair and also controls hair fall and triggers hair growth.

Major Benefits
Reduces dandruff – Aloe helps prevent dryness in the scalp without leaving with a greasy or oily feeling. It is also anti fungal, helping your scalp get rid of that annoying dandruff and flakes. As an added benefit, it makes your scalp feel refreshed.
Protects hair from damaging substances, such as dust and pollution.
Reduces sebum – Sebum keeps the scalp hydrated. However, when sebum production becomes more than necessary, it accumulates on the scalp. This can clog pores and prevent new hair from growing.
Promotes hair growth – Aloe improves blood circulation to the applied zone. If applied to the scalp, it will increase blood flow and provide better nutrition to the cells in this area, promoting hair growth and improving the function of the hair follicles.
Vitamins and minerals – It has many vitamins and minerals that nourish the scalp. It contains vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E. The combination of these vitamins result in stronger hair.
