Hair can become harsh and lifeless with frequent usage of chemical-laden shampoos and products. Calcium in ordinary water makes hair strands brittle, so why not try a homemade Aloe shampoo that has clarifying properties? Hair that is soft, silky, and shiny can be achieved by using a nutrient-based DIY Aloe Shampoo to treat and provide nourishment to hair with every hair wash.
Here is a recipe for a DIY Aloe Shampoo that adds shine, is incredibly easy to produce, and works well when used consistently.
RECIPE FOR DIY ALOE SHAMPOO
BENEFITS OF INGREDIENTS USED IN DIY ALOE SHAMPOO
Rose Water
The advantages of rose water on the skin are well known. But did you know that rose water can also be good for hair? The pH of rosewater, made by steam distilling rose petals is close to that of our hair. It has a significant amount of vitamins A, B, C, and E, which nourish hair follicles and stop breakage and early greying. Additionally, it treats dandruff and other scalp conditions since rose water has anti-inflammatory effects, softens hair, eliminates frizz, and adds shine.
Aloe Vera Gel
Numerous nutrients and active compounds found in aloe vera can strengthen your hair. Along with fatty and amino acids, it is a good source of vitamins A, B12, C, and E. These contribute to the health of hair follicles. Additionally, it has enzymes that break down fats, robbing your hair of any excess oil (sebum). Aloe vera can greatly reduce itchiness and dandruff or flakiness. Aloe vera also protects against UV damage. Aloenin, which is found in aloe vera, encourages hair growth.
Coconut Oil
We all are familiar with the benefits of coconut oil. Almost every one of us got coconut oil massage from our grandmas or moms during our childhood. But now, due to our busy schedules, we often forget to apply coconut oil in our hair care regime. So why not put in some coconut oil to make a healthy shampoo? Because it contains a lot of lauric acids, a type of fat that your hair can quickly and readily absorb, coconut oil is very beneficial for hair. In order to nourish hair and control frizz so you can keep a glossy sheen and healthy texture, lauric acid delivers hydration.
Castile Soap
Fewer chemicals and natural ingredients make up castile soap. This non-toxic, oil-based soap softly washes and is excellent for sensitive scalps. Anyone looking for a non-drying hair cleaner or who suffers from scalp conditions including eczema and dermatitis should try castile soap. Castile soap is free of perfumes, abrasive detergents, and other substances that could irritate the skin, just like commercial shampoos. Additionally, it protects the scalp’s natural oils and contributes to the maintenance of a healthy scalp. Additionally, it might encourage healthy hair development and maintain the health of the hair follicles.
