FROM THE LAB
Aloe Vera is a true miracle of nature. With its use documented as far back as ancient Egypt, Aloe Vera has proven itself as an all-rounder ingredient in beauty care for centuries. You’re probably familiar with using this wonder ingredient in the summer to soothe sunburn, but Aloe Vera’s benefits don’t stop there! In this article, we break down what Aloe Vera is, along with the multiple ways in which its moisturising and soothing properties can benefit your hair.
Aloe Vera is a succulent plant whose distinctive spiky green leaves contain a gel packed full of beneficial qualities. Aloe Vera’s antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can help to soothe skin, promote healing, cool sunburn and so much more!
Yes! The caring properties that make Aloe Vera so beneficial for your skin also make it a perfect ingredient in haircare. Aloe Vera is good for your hair for both care and styling purposes. We’ve listed some of our favourite benefits of Aloe Vera for hair below.
Aloe Vera’s high water content gives it powerful moisturising properties which can not only revitalise your skin, but your hair too, offering dry and brittle strands a boost of much-needed hydration.
As well as being able to soothe irritation, Aloe Vera can also protect from environmental influences thanks to its antioxidant and shielding properties. This protective effect promotes a healthy scalp and therefore healthy hair.
Many hair styling products can weigh down and dry out hair. However, styling products containing Aloe Vera can provide definition and hold without negatively affecting the hair’s natural structure. This makes Aloe Vera a perfect ingredient for people with curly and wavy hair types, helping them to define their natural curl patterns without drying out the hair.
Thanks to the nutrients in Aloe Vera, hair becomes smoother with a healthy, natural shine. The same properties that hydrate the hair also help to control frizz, creating a smooth, shiny hair surface.
The easiest way to use Aloe Vera on your hair is to simply choose hair care and styling products that contain Aloe Vera in the ingredients and at the correct dosage for your hair type. By integrating these products into your hair routine, you can enjoy all of the positive benefits Aloe Vera has to offer.
