Additionally, you can use aloe vera as well because it helps prevent hair loss by stimulating blood flow to your scalp and nourishing it from within. It also reduces inflammation in the scalp, thereby preventing dandruff and other scalp conditions that result in the loss of hair strands.

To try this remedy at home, mix one teaspoon of aloe vera juice with two tablespoons of coconut oil to make a thick paste. Apply it on your scalp and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with water.

3. Hair Growth

Aloe vera is rich in potassium which has been proven to stimulate cellular growth through increased protein production in your body. It helps in stimulating new cell growth in your scalp resulting in thick and long hair strands.

To try this remedy, just mix one tablespoon of aloe vera gel with two tablespoons of castor oil and apply it all over your scalp. Make sure to cover your hair with a shower cap before leaving it on overnight for better results. In the morning, wash your hair with warm water and shampoo as usual. By applying this once a week, you will surely see your hair regaining its health and thickness and notice a considerable amount of growth after already a few applications.

4. Color Protection

If you love colors in your hair, you know that color-treated hair requires extra care and protection from the elements. While you can use a regular conditioner to keep your color-treated hair looking good, aloe vera works wonders too.

After shampooing, apply aloe vera gel to your damp hair and let it sit for a few minutes. Wash it off with cold water to seal in all the moisture and protect your hair color.

5. Split Ends

Split ends are a common problem among women who color their hair and spend a lot of time under the sun. Aloe vera contains proteins that help repair dry and damaged ends of your hair shafts. It also contains lignin, which makes hair stronger and prevents further damage.
