Aloe Vera has been the go-to for many people who have dry, thirsty hair. It is thought to be one of the best natural remedies for those who are looking to add moisture and life to their hair. The big question is; is Aloe Vera really a good natural remedy for dry hair? If you’re looking for the answer to this question, I have my own testimony to share about using Aloe Vera juice in my natural hair.
My Aloe Vera Testimony
This is my story about using Aloe Vera. I grew my dreadlocks for six years. Throughout those six years, I have done extensive research on the use of Aloe Vera. Growing up, I always saw my mom use Aloe Vera and she even used to give us a little of the juice to drink. All I know is that it was really bitter.
Fast forward to now, I went back to my roots and decided to do some digging of my own to find out more about this mystical plant, the Aloe Vera. I started using the gel from the plant in my dreadlocks, and I instantly fell in love with it. I also used it on my skin and enjoyed how soft my skin looked and felt.
When I use my homemade Aloe Vera Juice in my hair, it feels softer, looked shinier, and retained moisture for days. Aloe Vera is packed with many different vitamins and minerals that is essential for beautiful hair.
If you decide to use Aloe Vera Juice in your natural hair, you can either purchase the pre-bottled ones or you can make your own homemade Aloe Juice. The great thing about Aloe, is that it can be used as a natural remedy for a variety of conditions such as: dry, itchy scalp and dandruff. It can also be used to promote hair growth and as a natural moisturizer for both hair and skin, etc.
My Thoughts About the Aloe Vera Plant
The Aloe Vera is a very succulent plant. This plant usually thrives better in dry climate. Did you notice I said dry? Yes, I think that’s why it is such a great natural remedy from mother nature to combat dryness, whether it’s dry hair or dry skin. It is even great for treating sunburns. It simply just moisturizes and heal with its natural ingredients.
Using Aloe Vera As a Natural Aftershave Remedy
Guys, don’t feel left out. You can also use Aloe Vera as a natural aftershave and to prevent or treat razor bumps. Using Aloe Vera after shaving can help to soothe irritated skin and prevents inflammation and redness, leaving your skin smooth to the touch. Always keep in mind that not everyone’s skin can tolerate Aloe Vera juice. Only use the clear gel from the plant.
Tip of the Day
- Try a small area of your inner arm to check for allergic reaction before using Aloe Vera on your face.
- Do not use the yellow liquid from Aloe Vera, which is latex, as this can cause allergic reaction.
