However, there is one plant that can help you protect your hair quality from further deterioration and reverse the damage that has already been done. Aloe vera can be the answer to all your hair problems, from repairing damaged hair to hair regrowth. Ayurveda practitioners and herbal experts consider it to be beneficial for hair. There are many ways to use aloe vera for hair care, but in this article, we will focus on making Aloevera Hair Oil and how aloe vera can aid hair growth.
How to Make Aloevera Hair Oil at Home? You will need: 2 cups of Coconut oil/ Almond oil/ Olive oil Aloe vera Leaf Rosemary essential oil (optional) Glass Jar
How to make: Take a fresh organic aloe vera leaf and wash it thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut off the edges of the leaf, and then chop it into cubes. Let the aloe vera cubes sit in water for five minutes to drain out their yellow resin. Blend the cubes in a blender to make an aloe vera paste. Heat two cups of Coconut oil in a pan on medium flame. Add the aloe vera paste to the oil. Slow cook the aloe vera oil for five minutes and turn off the flame. You will notice the oil has slightly turned yellowish-golden in color. Strain the oil and add a few drops of rosemary oil. Store the aloe vera oil in an airtight glass jar for up to one to two months.
How to Use Aloevera Oil for Hair Growth? Take the required amount of aloe vera oil in a small pan and warm it slightly. Massage the aloe oil onto your scalp and apply it to your hair shafts. Wash your hair with a mild (sulfate-free) shampoo after 30-45 minutes. Alternatively, you can leave the hair oil overnight and wash it off in the morning. Use Aloe vera oil on your hair at least twice a week to see the desired results.
