Aloe
Vera for Your Hair, by Kathy Stubbs
Hair issues, such as hair loss, thinning, excessive dryness,
itchiness around the scalp, and dandruff, can make any one frustrated. To get
rid of these hair problems people will try all sorts of remedies. Like many other remedies for healthy hair, using
products with Aloe Vera is quite popular. In fact, it has been popularly
used by many cultures as one of the top remedies for hair related issues.
Aloe Vera is a short stemmed plant; its
leaves are thick and fleshy with grayish green color. It produces a yellowish
flower on a spike towards the top. It is mainly the gel of the leaves that is
used in hair care products.
Just look around and you will be amazed
to find different hair care products such as hair cream, shampoo, conditioner
and so on with Aloe Vera as one of the main ingredients. This is mainly because
Aloe Vera is good for hair. It contains more than 20 minerals and vitamin A,
B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E that are essential for healthy hair.
The
many hair benefits of Aloe Vera:
Reduces
Sebum - Sebum is a naturally produced oily
substance secreted by the hair glands. Sebum helps in keeping the scalp well
moisturized, but excess amount of sebum can hamper healthy hair. When excess
sebum accumulates on the scalp, it mixes with dirt and blocks the pore from
where hair grows out. The antibacterial properties of Aloe Vera help the
problem of build-up of excess sebum on the scalp.
Balances
pH Level - Aloe Vera contains a
kind of enzyme that helps cleanse the scalp by balancing the pH level of the
scalp. When the scalp is clean and blood circulation to the scalp is good, hair
growth is healthier.
Great
Moisturizer - Aloe Vera also acts
as a great source of moisturizer for the scalp and hair follicles. It contains
over 20 minerals and vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E. When your hair is
getting all the necessary vitamins and minerals, you will enjoy healthier hair.
Conditioner
for Hair - Aloe Vera is also a
great natural hair conditioner. Regular use of Aloe Vera will help in restoring
the sheen, luster, and shine of your hair. It also makes hair soft without any
trace of dryness. The best thing about Aloe Vera is that it does not have
greasy buildup that many hair care products often leave behind.
Stops
Dandruff - Aloe Vera is a
cooling agent so it helps in preventing dryness that often causes dandruff. It
also has anti-fungal properties which stops dandruff and prevents it from
reoccurring. As Aloe Vera helps in keeping the natural oil of hair in balance
there will never be the problem of hair dryness. Also Aloe Vera brings a
refreshing and cooling sensation to the scalp.
You can try many hair care products
containing Aloe Vera. There are gels, shampoos, conditioners, and hair creams,
to name a few. Natural Aloe Vera hair care products are an ideal alternative to
commercial hair products which have harsh chemicals in them.
Important Note: There
is no doubt that Aloe Vera is a great natural product for your hair. Using Aloe
Vera for various hair related problems is safe, natural, and affordable. But
you must remember that there are a variety of different causes for hair loss,
such as scalp infections, reactions to medications, illness, vitamin or mineral
deficiencies and other medical reasons. Please consult a doctor to discover the
actual cause behind your hair problem. This will help to determine if Aloe Vera
can effectively treat you and get you back into healthy hair.
