Aloe Vera: Magic Ingredient for the Hair

Aloe Vera needs no introduction in our life. Almost everyone knows the health and beauty benefits of this plant. Most of us are crazy for this ingredient in our skincare or hair care products. Be it a sunburn or a bad case of acne, Aloe Vera is a treatment you can always rely on. 

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant and stores water in its leaves, which are thick and fleshy. The leaves produce two substances – the gel, which is more or less water with several other nutrients mixed in, and the sap, which is also known as aloe latex.

Aloe Vera In Hair Care

There are many products that have aloe Vera as the key ingredient. Over time, aloe vera has seamlessly integrated itself into everything we use. But, what makes this plant so versatile? There are some incredible benefits of aloe Vera. So, keep reading to know what we are talking about.

It helps hair growth

Aloe Vera contains enzymes which help heal and repair the damaged cells in your scalp. This improves follicle health and indirectly boosts healthy and faster hair growth. It not only helps to heal the scalp, but it also helps to stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth.

Aloe Vera contains vitamins A, C, and E. All three of these vitamins contribute to cell turnover, promoting healthy cell growth and shiny hair.

It helps to reduce hair fall

Aloe Vera also helps curb hair fall and controls hair shedding, ensuring that your hair remains thick and voluminous.

Aloe Vera has the incredible ability to increase blood circulation to an area. When you use aloe vera on your hair and scalp, blood flow to your scalp increases. When your scalp has been cleansed and your hair has been conditioned with aloe Vera, you might see that hair breakage and loss slows down.

Vitamin B-12 and folic acid are also contained in aloe Vera gel. Both of these components can keep your hair from falling out.

It helps to treat dandruff

Aloe Vera has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe your scalp of irritation and aggravation. Its anti-fungal and anti-viral properties help cure dandruff and flaking. An itchy scalp and flaking skin under your hair can be treated with aloe vera.

The moisture content of aloe Vera helps condition your hair, locking in nutrients and hydration.

Using aloe vera is a great way to get hair that looks healthier, shinier, and softer.

These are the various hair care benefits of aloe vera. But aloe vera works equally well for the skin. I already have a detailed article on that on my blog. Check it out.
