Tremendous Hair Growth With Simple Homemade Aloe Vera Gel

Protective Styling Double Twists With Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe Vera is often overlooked by its prickly skin and stylish outer appearance, but little do some people know that it is the secret to tremendous hair growth, if used consistently. I am a big fan of using Aloe Vera juice or gel into my natural hair. It keeps my hair soft and moisturized, and also speed up hair growth.

If you have Aloe Vera plants growing around your yard, you can make your own homemade Aloe gel fresh from the plant. I used these simple steps to make my own natural gel.

sliced aloe vera plant First thing I do is wash my Aloe plant then slice a piece off. I normally cut the prickly parts off that are on the sides of the plant. I grab a glass bottle and place a strainer over the opening.

I then use a butter knife to scrape out the inside of the Aloe plant so that I can get all the gel out. The Aloe gel then drains into the glass bottle through the strainer. To make the juice from the Aloe plant drain faster through the strainer, you can use your finger to swirl it around in the strainer.

When all the juice from the pieces of scraped Aloe is drained into the bottle, you can pour it into a spray bottle. You are almost done making your natural homemade Aloe Vera gel.

Depending on how thick the Aloe gel is, you may need to add a little water to thin it out a little. If it’s too thick, it won’t spray properly from the spray bottle.

If you want your homemade Aloe vera gel to have a nice smell, you can drop some peppermint or some other type of essential oil in it and shake it up to distribute it evenly.

When you are ready to apply the gel to your hair, just shake and spray your roots and hair evenly. To encourage faster hair growth, massage the roots of your hair with the Aloe Vera gel. The scalp massage technique is a great way to stimulate the follicles, which in turn promotes the growth of faster, thicker, hair.

The Secret to How I Got My Natural Hair Curls Looking Defined

I have been looking diligently for a shampoo that will help my curls look more defined and stay curly, not just look curly for a few minutes. Well, I went in a store, not really looking at that time for a shampoo, but suddenly the Suave Professionals for Natural Hair Sulfate-Free Cleansing Shampoo and Moisturizing Curl Conditioner caught my eye.

I decided to buy both the shampoos and the conditioner to see if they would tame my natural shrinking hair. I’ve tried so many other shampoo and conditioners and they just did nothing for my hair type.

My Honest Review of The Suave Professional Shampoo and Conditoner

I like the smell of both the Suave Professional shampoo and conditioner. The moment I put the conditioner in my hair, I could feel the softness and see the difference in my curl pattern.

I just wanted to test out the conditioner, so I put a little in a spray bottle and added some water, then I sprayed my hair. I immediately noticed my curls popping more. This gave me an idea of how I could get my natural hair curly if I’m in a hurry to go someplace.

Since I noticed that the Suave Professionals for Natural Hair Shampoo and Moisturizing Curl Conditioner actually worked for my hair, I started adding some Organic Aloe Vera to the conditioner and massaging it into my hair. The Aloe Vera gives it additional sheen and bounciness.

My Way of Making Fermented Rice Water

I decided to make my own rice water at home. I don’t use that much rice because now is not the time to waste food. I wash the rice first to remove debris that usually will float to the top. Then I put the rice in a glass bottle and add some water, (I use distilled water) and then add a few pieces of orange peel to it, then close the bottle tightly. I then put the glass bottle in the cupboard, since it’s dark.

If I plan on washing my hair the next day, after 24 hours, I’ll use the water, but if not, I’ll put it in the fridge. I was pleasantly surprised by the nice smell of the rice water because I put the orange peel in it. You can try putting your own scents such as peppermint oil or any other oils.

I wash my hair afterwards, apply the conditioner, put back on my steam cap for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse. I also like to apply Aloe Vera gel to my damp hair, as it makes my hair soft, silky, and easy to manage.
