For more beautiful hair
You can use aloe in three ways:

- To speed up hair growth.
A small amount of gel obtained from an aloe vera leaf is simply massaged into the hair. Leave it on for two minutes. Then rinse in the usual way. You can use aloe similarly as part of your shampoo – just mix the aloe gel into the shampoo or conditioner. Your hair will be shinier and healthier.
