That’s not my case.

I don’t know anything about plants, nor do I have innate abilities to make natural products.

But my grandmother does.

 

Before telling you how I was able to improve the appearance of my hair thanks to this aloe vera conditioner, I will tell you:

  • Because aloe vera is so good for your hair

My grandmother’s aloe vera conditioner

leaves contain gel inside

I love going to my grandmother’s house.

When I walk through the door, the aromas of my childhood hit my nostrils and give me an intoxicating sensation.

They are the smells of recently baked cookies.

Floral fragrances that mix with the smell of the vegetables cultivated by her with her expert hands on her land.

I didn’t inherit her plant skills.

Nor the patience.

 

But the last time I went to visit her, I found her in her secret laboratory.

That small room, almost a greenhouse, where she made her natural beauty products.

She was engrossed in preparing something.

When I approached, I swear that it grossed me out.

 

She was working with an aloe vera leaf.

She was extracting the gel from the inside of the leaf.

That viscous material impressed me.

How could someone put that on their body?

 

But the worst thing came after.

 She told me that she was making a leave-in conditioner with aloe vera for me.  

Because she noticed that my hair was dry. Dry Straw.

split ends

I don’t know what terrified me more.

My grandmother’s evaluation of the state of my hair.

Or that that viscous thing would touch my hair.

But my grandmother is of Galician origin.

 

With that I mean that she is one of those rural, stubborn women pure punch and tenacity.

What wouldn’t I do for that woman with a noble heart and that knew so much about the magic of natural products?

 

So, I accepted her gift.

Also, her oatmeal cookies, with which I gained approximately one kilo.

 

 After a week of using it, I called my grandmother and asked her to make me more. 

I can imagine her smile on the other side of the phone.

So, I started to do a bit of research.

And I discovered why that conditioner was almost magic. It was made of miracles.

 

Benefits of aloe vera for dry, lifeless hair

clogged scalp pores

  • It stimulates hair growth

I’m not going to lie.

It’s not that my hair grew ten centimeters in two weeks. Nothing like that.

 

But the aloe vera gel contains enzymes that eliminate dead cells on the scalp which with time, clogs the pores and hair follicles.

That’s why, I suppose, my friends’ hair grows so much and mine so little.

It’s because I have clogged pores on my scalp.

So, I’ll keep them clean to see if my hair grows more now that I use an aloe vera leave-in conditioner.

 

  • It balances the pH of the hair.

I attest to this.

My hair was dry and broken.

Thanks to the conditioner I was able to stabilize the pH of my hair, allowing it to retain it’s natural moisture.

 

  • It nourishes the hair.

In addition to enzymes, aloe vera is full of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that nourish each of our hair fibers.

That’s why I don’t have any more split ends.

 

  • It gives your hair shine.

I don’t have a scientific explanation for this.

I calculate that with nourishing and sealing the open cuticles, the hair retains more moisture and the exterior appearance becomes shinier.

When my friends saw the change in my hair, I begged me to tell them my secret.

There was nothing I could do but ask my grandmother for the recipe to her magic potion.
