DIY Aloe Vera Gel: Ultimate Hair & Scalp Treatment

Ever tried making your own Aloe Vera gel? 🌱

Here’s how you can harvest pure, nourishing gel right at home!

This DIY gel is perfect for your hair & scalp 🥰

I decided to try this to help relieve my daughter’s dandruff, and it’s been a game-changer for us! 💚

Since I’m in the process of growing my hair back long, using Aloe Vera has strengthened my hair, made it shinier, and reduced breakage, which has really helped me on my hair journey ❣️

Follow these simple steps:

1. 💦 Wash and slice 🔪 your Aloe Vera leaf 🌱

2. Avoid the yellowish sap (aloin) near the skin, as it can be irritating.

3. Extract the gel using a spoon 🥄

4. Optional: If you want a smoother consistency, blend the gel in a blender or food processor for a few seconds to break down any clumps.

5. Store the gel in a glass container and cover it with a lid.

6. Refrigerate for up to a week.

***Adding 5 drops of Tea tree oil makes it last for 2 weeks, and freezing as ice cubes extends life until use 🧊. Cubes can be placed in a freezer storage bag and thawed when ready to use.***

Application Steps:

1. Apply: Take a generous amount of the gel and apply it evenly to your scalp and hair, making sure to cover the entire length.

2. Massage: Gently massage the gel into your scalp for a few minutes. This helps improve blood circulation and ensures that the gel is absorbed.

3. Cover Your Hair: To avoid making a mess while you sleep, cover your hair with a silk bonnet.

4. Sleep: Leave the aloe vera gel in your hair overnight.

5. Rinse in the Morning: In the morning, rinse your hair thoroughly with water and follow up with your usual shampoo routine. This will help remove any residue and leave your hair feeling soft and refreshed.
