Aloe vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed succulent plant growing to 60–100 cm (24–39 in) tall,spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on the upper and lower stem surfaces. The margin of the leaf is serrated and has small white teeth. The flowers are produced in summer on a spike up to 90 cm (35 in) tall, each flower pendulous, with a yellow tubular corolla 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) long. Like other Aloe species, Aloe vera forms arbuscular mycorrhiza, a symbiosis that allows the plant better access to mineral nutrients in soil.
1. Consult a skin specialist before beginning aloe vera hair treatment for recommended use or limitations. Explain your goals and treatment plan and ask for feedback.
2. Wash the hair thoroughly and towel dry. Comb the tangles out of the hair and part into two sections.
3. Use aloe vera juice or gel to saturate hair from the roots to the tips, including the scalp. Let the hair dry naturally, then wrap in a natural silk scarf and sleep. If you do not want to sleep with aloe vera in your hair, rinse it out after an hour. Note that by doing this, you will not get the added benefits of overnight saturation.
4. Awake and rinse hair with hot water, then style as usual. The overnight treatment will add luster, shine, richness, and manageability to the hair. Repeat weekly as needed.
