DIY Aloe Vera Hair Growth Mask

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 tablespoons of fresh Aloe Vera gel (from an aloe leaf or store-bought, as pure as possible)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or olive oil, depending on preference)
  • 1 tablespoon castor oil (optional, but great for hair growth)
  • 5-10 drops rosemary essential oil (optional, promotes scalp health and hair growth)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Aloe Vera Gel: If using fresh Aloe Vera, slice open a leaf, scoop out the gel, and blend it to get a smooth consistency.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the Aloe Vera gel, coconut oil, and castor oil. Stir well until they are well-blended. If using, add rosemary essential oil and mix again.
  3. Apply to Scalp and Hair: Starting at the roots, apply the mixture to your scalp and massage gently for 5-10 minutes to stimulate blood circulation. Work the rest of the mixture through the lengths of your hair.
  4. Let It Sit: Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave the mask on for at least 30 minutes. For a deeper treatment, you can leave it on overnight.
  5. Rinse and Shampoo: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then shampoo and condition as usual.

Usage: Apply this mask once a week for best results.
