Hair Benefits of Aloe Vera<\/b><\/div>\n
If you thought aloe vera was only helpful for sunburns, think again! Aloe vera can support a healthy scalp and mane in a myriad of ways, like the ones listed below.<\/p>\n
Soothing Benefits of Aloe Vera for an Itchy Scalp<\/b>
\nInflammation affects the body in a number of ways. And when it comes to the scalp, dandruff is often the culprit. If you find yourself dealing with an itchy scalp, aloe vera may offer some relief.<\/p>\n
Aloe vera is packed with fatty acids<\/a>, which are known to possess anti-inflammatory benefits<\/a> that can soothe redness and irritation while providing hydration to support your healing scalp.<\/p>\n
Clarifying Benefits of Aloe Vera<\/b>
\nIf you have an oily scalp, aloe vera may make a great addition to your hair regimen. Aloe vera helps lift excess sebum from your scalp, along with any product residue that\u2019s collected in the hair follicles.<\/p>\n
And unlike many clarifying ingredients on the market, aloe vera doesn\u2019t harm your strains while it cleanses. In other words, aloe vera cleanses the scalp while keeping your hair shiny and soft.<\/p>\n
On top of that, aloe vera is rich in vitamins known to support cell turnover: vitamins A, C, and E, which foster hair growth and shine. Aloe vera also contains vitamin B12 and folic acid, which may help prevent hair fallout.<\/p>\n

\nWhen you\u2019re actively preventing breakage and damage in your mane, you can expect hair growth to improve over time; and as we\u2019ve established, aloe vera can do wonders against damage and inflammation.<\/p>\n
One study<\/a> even found that a hair tonic made with aloe vera can help accelerate the growth of hair to 0.1635 cm\/day, or 2.6617cm per month.<\/p>\n

How to Use Aloe Vera for Hair Growth<\/b><\/div>\n
As you\u2019ll soon find, aloe vera is an incredibly versatile ingredient that can be found in many hair care products. Here are some ways you can use it yourself for a healthier mane!<\/p>\n
Aloe Vera To Control Frizziness<\/b>
\nTo combat frizziness with aloe vera, combine one cup of aloe vera with one cup of sunflower or coconut oil. Heat the mixture over the stove or a hot plate until it becomes slightly dark. Allow the mixture to cool before massaging into your scalp and hair, and leave in for at least thirty minutes.<\/p>\n
Aloe Vera As leave-In Conditioner<\/b>
\nIncorporate ten to fifteen drops of an essential oil of your choice to half a cup of aloe vera gel, stirring to combine. Then, transfer the mixture to a pump bottle, which you can use on the hair as a leave-in conditioner after each hair wash. We especially love this mixture for summertime after the pool or beach!<\/p>\n
Aloe Vera For Soft And Shiny Hair<\/b>
\nIf you\u2019re looking to enjoy aloe vera\u2019s hydrating, strand-softening benefits, we recommend a nourishing hair mask.<\/p>\n
Combine two teaspoons of aloe vera gel with two teaspoons of yogurt and two teaspoons of honey or agave nectar in a bowl before applying to your scalp and hair. Leave the mixture in for half an hour before rinsing off.<\/p>\n
Aloe Vera as Overnight Spray<\/b>
\nThanks to aloe vera\u2019s lightweight, blendable texture, it makes the perfect hydrating ingredient for overnight spray. To make your own aloe vera hair solution, mix half a cup of aloe vera gel with a quarter cup of ginger juice. Add the mixture to a spray bottle and apply it to your scalp and strands before bedtime, massaging into your scalp. Wash mixture out in the morning.<\/p>\n
Aloe Vera For Hair Growth<\/b>
\nWhile research on aloe vera for hair growth is still in its infancy, it\u2019s believed that aloe vera can help boost hair growth while preventing damage. Apply aloe vera throughout your scalp and hair, and leave it in for 30-45 minutes before rinsing out with a gentle shampoo. Repeat this process twice a week.<\/p>\n
Aloe Vera For Dandruff Treatment<\/b>
\nTo soothe a flaky, itchy scalp, massage three to four teaspoons of aloe vera gel into the scalp. Leave it in your hair for thirty minutes to twelve hours, and then wash it out with a clarifying shampoo in the morning. For extra soothing benefits, try adding two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar.<\/p>\n

How Often Should You Use Aloe Vera On Your Hair?<\/b><\/div>\n
While it\u2019s not recommended to wash your hair with aloe vera every day, consistent use is key to promoting scalp health and hair growth.<\/p>\n
In general, it\u2019s recommended that you use aloe vera for scalp growth about once a week. If your scalp is extremely dry, twice a week may be more suitable. Make sure to follow up with a gentle, hydrating shampoo.<\/p>\n
How Long Can Aloe Vera Stay In Your Hair?<\/b><\/div>\n
After applying aloe vera to your hair, you can leave it in for one to six hours. Keep in mind that soaking your hair in aloe vera for an extended period may lock unwanted dust particles in your scalp, although those with a severely dry scalp and frizzy hair may actually benefit from an overnight soak.<\/p>\n
Should You Apply Aloe Vera to Dry or Wet Hair?<\/b><\/div>\n
This depends on how you\u2019re using aloe vera for hair. For instance, if you are using aloe vera as a leave-in conditioner, you\u2019ll want to apply aloe vera to wet hair. On the other hand, you should apply aloe vera to dry hair if you\u2019re using it to combat frizziness on a humid day. However you\u2019re using aloe vera, use your best judgment!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Can aloe vera really make your hair grow faster and thicker?
