Not Just for Sunburns
DIY beauty vlogger Farahdhukai shared on her video how aloe vera can be very beneficial to keeping our hair healthy and shiny- a perfectly cheaper hair mask- and millions of followers gobbled up all about the succulent plant. Now it’s more popular than it ever was, especially being called by the vlogger one of her “personal hair care secrets.”
Aloe has been known for its soothing qualities, and it’s been used to aid sunburned skin or scalp, doubling also as a styling product. Its ph level is similar to our hair’s, and it’s composed of beneficial vitamins and minerals. Penny James, a salon owner, shares Farahdhukai’s obsession for Aloe and cites its 75 active ingredients are like “essential amino acids and minerals like copper and zinc that have been clinically proven to help with healthy hair and hair growth.”
In spite of Aloe’s positive reputation as a potent product, Stephen Ko, a cosmetic formulator, reminds us that no actual scientific evidence supports all these claims:
- Aloe Vera is a Great Conditioner
- Aloe is Magic
- Aloe Can Help With Scalp Irritation
- Does Aloe Help With Hair Growth?
