Can we use Patanjali aloe vera gel on hair, and how?

Question

I’ve been using Patanjali aloe vera gel for my skin and absolutely love it. Recently, I heard that it can also be used for hair care. Can we use Patanjali aloe vera gel on hair, and how should it be applied for the best results?

From what I know, aloe vera is rich in vitamins and enzymes that nourish the scalp and strengthen hair. Does applying Patanjali aloe vera gel help with issues like dryness, dandruff, and hair fall? Is it better to use it as a leave-in treatment or a pre-shampoo mask?

I’ve also heard about mixing aloe vera gel with oils like coconut or castor oil for additional benefits. Does this make it more effective, or is it fine to use the gel on its own?

Another thing I’d like to know is how often it should be used. Can it be applied daily, or is once or twice a week enough? Are there any side effects, like buildup or greasiness, that I should be aware of?

If anyone has used Patanjali aloe vera gel for their hair, I’d love to hear your experience. Did it improve your hair texture or reduce scalp issues? Are there any specific tips or tricks for maximizing its benefits?
