Your hair is dry and in lack of hydration ? A totally natural ingredient can help you: aloe vera gel. Extracted from the plant, it is composed of 98% water and 2% enzymes, minerals and vitamins. Indian blogger Shaloo Tiwari decided to include it in her hair routine and explains on her website the multiple benefits of gel on her hair.
A calmed scalp
The young woman had dandruff and her scalp was sore and irritated by the products she used on a daily basis. By replacing them with fresh and pure gel aloe vera, she noticed that her scalp was appeased and that he no longer scratched. Indeed, this plant is known for its soothing virtues, which is one of the reasons why it is used on the skin in case of sunburn. The blogger leaves the product on the entire hair as a mask for 15 minutes before rinsing it.
In addition to its benefits on the roots, aloe vera has restored softness at lengths of the young woman. She found more flexible hair and well hydrated. However, the gel does not contain fatty substances, so it is not nourishing, but moisturizing. This means that its effectiveness on very dry hair lacking in nutrition will be limited. If your lengths are extremely damaged, prefer nutritious vegetable oils.

Besides the hydration dose that it provides to the hair, the aloe vera gel can be used as a leave-in conditioner on curly hair: the beauty editor has tested this tip! It will allow you to draw the loops, but also to give them of the outfit. Just apply a good tablespoon of it to damp, untangled hair. Result: hydrated curls and a shiny hair.
