How to Use Aloe Vera Gel with Essential Oils for Hair

Aloe vera is considered a first-rate skin and hair treatment ingredient. This marvel of a plant has various beauty-boosting properties, and it is abundant in antioxidants that provide soothing, moisturizing, and shielding advantages for skin and hair. 

This botanical ingredient has been used for centuries as a traditional beauty remedy by our ancestors. The best and high-quality way to use aloe vera is to extract the gel from the plant and apply it directly to your scalp or skin. If you have an aloe vera plant at home, you can easily scoop the gel out of the leaves, or you can use Nexon Botanics Aloe Vera Gel that comes more in handy. 

This surprise plant can calm an itchy scalp, enhance hair resilience, and even restore damaged tresses. In this article, we will dive into all the fantastic benefits Aloe vera can provide when mixed with another organic miracle—That is essential oils. 

Let's begin.

Benefits of Aloe vera for Hair

Some of the advantages of aloe vera for hair are as follows! This plant has an array of benefits for your tresses. Here goes!

1. Enriching Nutrient

Aloe vera contains a variety of active ingredients and minerals that can aid in strengthening your hair. It contains fatty acids and amino acids, as well as vitamins A, B12, C, and E. These contribute to enhanced hair follicles.

2. Cleans Scalp

Aloe vera contains components that help to cleanse the scalp. Aloe vera can maintain sebum production and cleanse your scalp of any excess oil from your hair.

3. Soothing Agent

It helps to calm an itchy scalp. It can be your go-to hair moisturizer for dryness, irritated scalp, or scaly patches. Researchers discovered that aloe vera could significantly minimize and soothe dryness due to its enriching and hydrating nature. 

4. Great for Colored Hair

Aloe vera juice is known to provide a certain degree of protection against environmental stressors. Many environmental stressors can cause your hair to lose its shine and color, as well as make it rough and less elastic, which can lead to breakages. However, researchers believe that aloin, a chemical compound found in the plant, is a primary factor in promoting hair resilience and texture. Thus, it can be a great product for treated and processed hair.
