Moisture for Dry Hair
Natural hair can become dry and aloe vera can help put moisture back into dry hair.

Wrap your hair in shower cap and let the aloe vera set for about 30 minutes or overnight for butter sresult. Wash it out and style hair as normal.

Soothes Itchy Scalp
Aloe vera is well known for its ability to soothe itching irritation on the skin, and when applied to the scalp, it acts the same way. Use your finger or a cotton swab to apply a small amount of aloe vera gel or the juice from the plant directly on the itchy area. Because of the small amount used, there is no need to wash it out.

Promotes Hair Growth
Although not proven, aloe vera gel may promote hair growth when applied directly to the scalp. Taken orally, as part of a multivitamin, it acts as a cleaning agent in the body that helps promote the release of toxins and can lead to better skin and, ultimately, better hair.
