Aloe Vera and Your Hair
Aloe Vera has been valued since antiquity for its healing, hydrating, and regenerating properties. While widely recognized for skincare and dietary uses, its benefits for hair are less well-known. Discover why Aloe Vera deserves a spot in your haircare routine and how to use it for healthier hair.
Four Reasons to Use Aloe Vera for Hair
- Faster Growth
Rich in vitamins A, B6, and B9, Aloe Vera stimulates blood circulation in the scalp, promoting faster hair growth.
- Soothing Irritation
It effectively calms itching, dandruff, and scalp irritation, offering relief to sensitive scalps.
- Scalp Purification
Regulating sebum production, Aloe Vera cleanses the scalp, reducing shampoo frequency while being suitable for both oily and dry hair.
- Hydration and Strength
Composed of 98% water, it hydrates and strengthens hair, making it softer, shinier, and less prone to breakage.
Using Aloe Vera based on hair type
- Oily Hair
Excess sebum weighs down oily hair, making it look dull. With its purifying and antibacterial properties, Aloe Vera deeply cleanses and regulates sebum for lighter, healthier hair.
- Dry Hair
Exposure to threats like sun or pollution can dry out hair. Aloe Vera provides the necessary hydration, strengthening the hair fibers for a shinier, healthier appearance.
