The Power of Aloe Vera Against Hair Loss

It’s no secret that Aloe Vera is helpful for your hair and scalp. Aloe Vera shampoos have been around for years. When it comes to hair, the fewer chemicals you expose your hair to is better. Aloe Vera acts as a natural hair conditioner and can be used in place of chemical based conditioners. So if you are suffering from excessive hair loss you should reduce the amount of chemicals in placed applied to your hair.

Here are 4 Steps In Using Aloe Vera:

1. Begin by taking your favorite shampoo (herbal shampoos seem to work best)

2. Pour about half the amount you would normally use into a bowl. 

3. Add about twice that amount of Aloe Vera gel to the bowl and mix well. You may use Aloe Vera directly from an Aloe Vera plant but we recommend the use of a 100% stabilized Aloe Vera gel.

4. Once you are in the shower, wet your hair and simply shampoo your hair as you normally would. There should be no need for a conditioner afterwards.

If you have long hair and feel that you need for further conditioning, use only about half the amount of conditioner that you normally would. For short hair that needs more conditioning, after you wash your hair, take half a teaspoon of Aloe Vera and run it through your hair with your fingers. Let it stand for a few minutes and then rinse it out.

Aloe Vera Hair Gel Products

Beyond simply using pure Aloe Vera gel, there are also a few Aloe Vera hair gels on the market. These hair gels are not shampoos. They are specifically designed for treating excessive hair loss. Additionally, they are also a good treatment for scaly/itchy scalps, oily hair and dandruff. Typically, Aloe Vera hair gels contain no preservatives or coloring agents. They are non-greasy, easy to apply and leave no lingering smell.

Years of research have gone into perfecting Aloe Vera hair gels and the results can be quite exceptional, especially in the treatment of seborrhoea. Seborrhoea is caused by the accumulation on the skin of sebum which mixes with dirt and forms a distinct incrustation. It is most commonly seen on the head and may interfere with the nutrition your hair receives, causing partial baldness.

Seborrhoea is caused when the body produces excess amounts sebum. Sebum is a naturally occurring oily substance secreted by hair glands. This excess sebum spreads over the surface of the scalp can lead to the loss of hair if the infection becomes severe enough to damage the hair follicles. If this happens, the scalp becomes red and itchy and the hair will become thin and fragile. That's why it is so important to react quickly as possible once the first sign of hair loss is noticed.

Seborrhoea is considered by doctors to be a mild bacterial disease and can be brought on by a number of different factors. The most common attributing factors are stress, fatigue and hormonal changes but some research suggests that genetics and environmental pollution also play a role.

Aloe Vera hair gels not only curb excessive hair loss by reducing seborrhoea but they can also renew the follicular cycle, helping the scalp return to a physiological balance. Aloe Vera hair gels activate fresh growth and stimulate the growth of existing hair. They are especially effective if used at the first sign of excessive hair loss.

Like with many other hair loss treatments, Aloe Vera hair gels should be applied for at minimum of two to three months before any really positive results can be seen. During this time, dead hair follicles will continue to fall out but should be replaced by new hair growth which has been stimulated by the hair gel. The hair should become thicker and healthier.
