Make Your Own Luxury Aloe Vera Conditioner

Aloe vera also know as “wonder plant,” is a plant species of the genus Aloe. It grows wild in tropical climates around the world and is cultivated for agricultural and medicinal uses such as a remedy for skin conditions, including burns, sunburn, frostbite, psoriasis and cold sores.

Aloe Vera can be found in most hair and skin care products. Aloe vera contains something called proteolytic enzymes which repair dead skin cells on the scalp. Aloe Vera is known to work wonders in promoting shine and moisture in the hair and preventing hair loss and dandruff.  It acts as a great conditioner and leaves your hair all smooth and
promotes hair growth

Here is an easy way you can use  Aloe Vera to create your very own luxury homemade hair conditioner.

Step 1  Cut two or three large, thick leaves from the aloe plant. The thicker your hair, the more you will need. Three should be enough for very thick hair.

Step 2 Remove the thick green skin from each leaf. This will expose the clear jelly-like interior of the leaf.

Step 3. Puree the jelly in a blender. Ensure that it is blended completely before removing it from the blender.

Step 4.Strain the blended jelly into a container. It is important to do this so that the jelly is separated from the white sediments that will otherwise get stuck in your hair.

Step 5. After washing your hair, massage the aloe vera jelly into your hair thoroughly, making sure that the hair is saturated from roots to tips.

Step 6. Let the aloe sit in the hair for about five minutes. If you are using an additional treatment product, follow the directions for that product’s use instead.

• Aloe vera contains vitamin E which is very good for our skin.
• Aloe vera is one of many natural conditioning methods used by girls in the Caribbean, where it is widely available, and can be used in natural or chemically treated hair.
• Aloe vera gel is good for skin burns and acne as well.
• The aloe vera leaf gives off an offensive odor when cut, but only as long as the green leaves are around. Once these are discarded the smell is gone. After this don’t use any oil that will harm your hair.
• The aloe vera leaf makes your hair smooth and shiny after applying.

• Things You’ll Need

• At least three bowls – one to transport the aloe from the outside to the inside, one for the removed green exteriors, one for the separated jelly.
• Sharp knife
• A blender
• A strainer/sieve
• A steam cap (optional)

Enjoy your DIY conditioner and your now the soft manageable hair.
