how to make hair gel with aloe vera - #19917

Advika

I am seriously in need of some quick tips for how to make hair gel with aloe vera. Last weekend, I was hanging out with my friends, and one of them had the most amazing hair - all slick and shiny without looking greasy at all! Turns out she made her own hair gel with aloe vera. I thought, why not give it a try? I went to the store looking for aloe vera, but I could only find the gel with other ingredients added, and I kinda want to go natural. So, I found a plant, and I’m trying to figure out how to make hair gel with aloe vera from scratch, but I’m not sure how to process it. I tried cutting a leaf, and this gooey stuff came out, but is that really what I want? I read somewhere that just blending the aloe vera might be enough, but will that be too runny? Also, is there anything else I should add or avoid when learning how to make hair gel with aloe vera? I'm worried it will turn out too sticky or just doesn't work. Anyone got solid advice on how to make hair gel with aloe vera that actually holds your hairstyle without looking like a total mess? Thanks in advance for any help!

Making hair gel from aloe vera is quite straightforward, and you’ve got the right start with your aloe vera plant. First, you’ll want to harvest the gel correctly. Cut an outer leaf close to the base of the plant, wash it, and lay it down on a flat surface. Use a sharp knife to slice off the spiky edges, then peel away one side of the leaf to expose the clear gel inside. Scrape out the gel with a spoon – this is what you’ll be using. To make the gel, you can place this harvested gel into a blender. Blend it for a few seconds until you reach a smooth, consistent texture. The consistency can sometimes be slightly runny, so if you need more hold, you might add a spoonful of cornstarch, but this is optional and should be done cautiously to avoid any stickiness or residue. If it’s too runny for you, consider simmering it gently on low heat until it thickens a bit more – keep stirring though to prevent clumping. You shouldn’t need to add anything else, but if you’d like a pleasant scent, a few drops of essential oil like lavender or rosemary can work nicely and may offer some additional hair benefits. Just make sure not to overdo it, as essential oils are potent. Store your aloe gel in an air-tight container in the fridge, where it should keep fine for about a week or so. One additional tip: Apply the gel to damp hair for the best results, as it helps with even distribution and the gel will blend better into your hair.
