How to Make Aloe Vera Oil for Stronger Hair At Home

Gather Ingredients:

You’ll need fresh aloe vera leaves, coconut oil (or any carrier oil of your choice), and optional vitamin E capsules for added benefits.

Prepare Aloe Vera:

Cut the aloe vera leaves and remove the thorns. Scoop out the gel using a spoon and blend it into a smooth paste.

Mix with Oil:

In a saucepan, combine the aloe vera paste with an equal amount of coconut oil. You can also add the contents of vitamin E capsules at this stage.

Heat the Mixture:

Simmer the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally. Continue heating until the aloe vera clumps and the oil turns a light brown color.

Strain the Oil:

Once the mixture has cooled, strain it through a cheesecloth or fine sieve to remove any solid particles.

Store Properly:

Pour the strained oil into a clean, dry glass jar or bottle. Ensure it is stored in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency.

Application:

To use, massage the aloe vera oil into your scalp and hair. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing it off with a mild shampoo.

Frequency:

For best results, use the aloe vera oil 2-3 times a week. Regular application can help strengthen hair follicles and promote hair growth.

Benefits:

Aloe vera oil is known for its moisturizing properties, reducing dandruff, and improving overall scalp health, leading to stronger, shinier hair.
