My Natural Hair Necessities: Aloe Vera Juice

I recently read an article on Curly Nikki’s blog, where she discusses the reasons Why YouShould add Aloe Vera Juice to Your Routine, and I knew that I had to highlight this product on my Natural Hair Necessities series on my blog! I have been using aloe vera juice on may hair for over a year now, and I have noticed a substantial difference in my hair. My hair is shinier and hydrated. 

"Aloe Vera is a succulent cacti plant species that has spikey leaves and a thick fleshy stem. It is the pulp of the plant (the sap) that contains the juice and gel and these have been used for medicinal, cosmetic and health purposes throughout time due to the fact that they contain antioxidants, antibiotics and antifungal properties. They also have a vast amount of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E, Calcium, folic acid and amino acids to name a few." (via Curly Nikki)

Curly Nikki’s article states that there are many benefits to using aloe vera juice in your hair, which are:

• Promote hair growth
• Moisturize the hair due to it being a humectant
• Restore the natural pH balance of the hair and scalp
• Reduce dandruff
• Naturally condition the hair
• Reduce hair shed
• Promote hair shine
• Help heal an irritated, dry, itchy scalp

In this picture, you can see that my hair is very full and healthy. That is because of my usage of aloe vera juice on a consistent basis. 

I love what aloe vera juice does for my hair, and that is why it is a natural hair necessity!
