can i use patanjali aloe vera gel on my hair - #25048

Benjamin

I am really struggling with my dry hair these days. Like, I’ve tried everything, huh? Last week, while browsing online, I came across this Patanjali aloe vera gel everyone seems to rave about. Gotta admit, I’m really curious! Can I use Patanjali aloe vera gel on my hair? I read it’s supposed to be great for moisturizing and maybe even help with frizz, but now I’m a bit confused after hearing someone say it might not be the best for all hair types. My hair has this weird tendency to get oily at the roots but super dry at the ends. Ugh! Total nightmare! I’ve seen a few YouTube videos of people applying aloe vera gel on their hair but I wonder if Patanjali is any different or better? Can I use Patanjali aloe vera gel on my hair directly, or should I mix it with something else? Thinking of maybe trying right before I wash it, is that too much? Would love some advice from you all! Thanks!!

Yes, you can definitely use Patanjali aloe vera gel on your hair. Aloe vera is known for its hydrating and soothing properties, which can be beneficial for managing dry hair and frizz. It’s natural moisturizing abilities help in retaining moisture and providing a glossy finish to your hair, making it a simple, yet effective remedy.

Given your hair type—oily roots and dry ends—it’s important to balance the application. Applying the gel directly to your scalp might not always be needed since your roots are already oily. Instead, focus on the mid-lengths (from below the scalp) and ends of your hair where dryness is more prominent. This targeted approach can help in nourishing the dry ends without making the scalp overly greasy.

For usage, you could apply the aloe vera gel directly on dry hair ends and leave it for about 30 minutes before washing your hair. If your hair is extremely dry at the ends, you may consider mixing the gel with a small amount of coconut oil or olive oil for even more moisture before applying. This can create a stronger conditioning effect.

Using aloe vera gel as a pre-wash treatment once or twice a week can also be suitable. Simply apply and allow it to sit for some time, then wash out with a mild shampoo to remove excess oil and impurities without stripping the natural oils from your scalp.

Keep in mind, while Patanjali aloe vera gel is commonly used and loved by many, individual responses may vary, so observe how your hair reacts after a few uses and adjust as needed. If your hair becomes oilier, you may want to reduce the frequency or quantity applied.

Aloe vera gel, including Patanjali’s version, is largely safe for external use, but if any irritation occurs, it’s wise to discontinue immediately and perhaps consult with a healthcare provider.

Hope this helps you in handling that frustrating dryness and frizz you’re experiencing!
