aloe vera gel for hair and face - #14467

Atharv

I am really trying to figure out if using aloe vera gel for hair and face is as good as everyone says. A few months ago, my friend recommended it to me after I mentioned how dry my skin has been and how my hair was feeling super lifeless. I started applying aloe vera gel for hair and face. At first, I was like wow, this is amazing! My skin felt smoother and more hydrated. However, after a couple of weeks, I noticed my scalp getting really oily and my hair kinda flat, which is odd because I can usually handle oil okay. One night I slapped on aloe vera gel for hair and face and woke up with this weird mix of sticky and greasy - like what just happened? I swear I did all the “how to use” stuff right. I even read about it online, and everyone talks about these magical benefits of aloe vera gel for hair and face. Am I the only one having these ups and downs? Should I be using aloe vera gel for hair and face daily or just once in a while? Or maybe I’m just applying it too liberally?? Honestly, I'm confused and a lil frustrated with my results. Any insights?

Aloe vera gel has quite the reputation for its moisture-retaining and soothing properties, which can indeed benefit dry skin and lifeless hair. However, like with many natural products, the way our individual bodies respond can vary. For your skin, using aloe vera gel can be beneficial as it’s generally hydrating and soothing due to its ability to lock in moisture. For dry skin, ensuring that you’re using the gel as part of a broader routine that includes cleansing and moisturizing is important. If you notice stickiness, it might be due to applying too much or not allowing enough time for it to absorb properly before proceeding with your routine. Try cutting back to using it once every few days initially and see if your skin’s texture improves.

Regarding your hair, using aloe vera gel can weigh it down, especially if applied too liberally or not rinsed out thoroughly. For scalp care, it works best when used as an occasional treatment, maybe once or twice a week, rather than daily. Applying the gel as a pre-shampoo treatment, leaving it on for 30 minutes to an hour, might help avoid the greasiness and flatness you’re experiencing. It’s also crucial to rinse off the gel completely to prevent buildup. Experimenting with the quantity and frequency sometimes helps hone in on what works best for your hair type. Nonetheless, if after adjusting the usage you still face problems, consider exploring other moisturizing options or consult a dermatologist or trichologist to understand if another underlying issue, like seborrheic dermatitis, may be affecting your scalp. Regular check-ins on how the product is suiting your lifestyle and personal condition are vital for getting the most out of any skincare or haircare regimen.
