Dry, brittle, split ends, lackluster wires… There are many problems that can interfere with the beauty of hair. But among them, one of the most worrying is the fall.
The causes that lead to hair loss are varied and only a dermatologist can make the correct diagnosis and indicate the most appropriate treatment. But a well-known “home solution” is aloe vera, also called aloe vera – a plant that has regenerating properties and works as a natural antioxidant in the scalp, offering numerous benefits to the hair (which go beyond hair loss control).
In general, it has the ability to deep clean the scalp, regenerating and moisturizing dry hair while closing the hair cuticles. The result of constant use is stronger, hydrated, shiny, loose and frizz-free hair.
It is good to know that most of aloe’s nutrients are in the pulp of the plant, so it is exactly the part used in cosmetics and also in homemade recipes. Know the main ones and successfully fight the dreaded hair loss!
