April Aloe Vera Challenge!

I must admit that my hair has been dry dull and limp lately, and I have been lookin high and low for a solution. I also have been looking for something that would promote hair growth at the same time. I do realize that there is no magic potion that takes me from one inch of unstretched new growth to a BAA or a Foxy Cleopatra Afro Puff...but a girl can dream, can't I?!?! :)

I did stumble upon Nature's Miracle Worker--Aloe Vera, though! I have heard of other Naturals using Aloe Vera Gel for curl definition and slicking down their hair into buns, but when I walked past an endcap in Walmart and saw a HUGE container of Aloe Vera Juice for $7.98, I had to do a double take so...I did some research!

Aloe Vera Juice or Aloe Vera Gel can actually be used to:
  • Relieve stress (which we all know is great for the hair)
  • Increase blood circulation to the scalp
  • Give hair shine
  • Moisturize and Condition the scalp and hair shaft
  • Prevent Hair Loss
  • Promote Hair Growth
Some people even use Aloe Vera Juice as a daily hair treatment by massaging it into their scalp, covering it with a plastic cap, and letting it sit for 30 minutes. Then they rinse their hair and reap all the rewards of using Aloe Vera Juice, and starting today I will be one of those people!!!!

I will be doing this treatment as much as possible from April 5th to May 5th, and hopefully, my hair will thank me for it! I'll update you on my progress from time to time, but be sure to subscribe and follow me on my journey! Feel free to comment on this post if you have done this treatment before or would like to join this challenge with me!

Happy Hair Reading and Growing,
