Rainproof your hair with Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera, also known as the plant of immortality, was not only popular at the time of Cleopatra but has swathed its way into the modern beauty scene in a big way.  The magical qualities composed in this herb are truly a blessing not only for the skin but also when it comes to taking care of one’s mane.  Here are some extraordinary benefits of Aloe Vera to protect your hair this monsoon.

 The arrival of the southwest monsoon along with violent winds has become a hassle especially when it comes to maintaining our tresses. The dust and pollution along with the wind makes our hair rough, dull and tousled. And heaven forbid, if we end up getting drenched in the rain, the hair not only becomes frizzy and breakable, but also weak and lustre less. The residual moisture in the mane, elevates dandruff and other fungal issues.  

Here are a few ways to incorporate Aloe Vera in your everyday hair care routine:

Aloe VERA FOR HAIRFALL – In a bowl, mix henna powder with freshly scooped aloe vera gel into a smooth paste and apply it on the scalp and hair. Leave it off for 45 minutes – 2 hours and wash it off with shampoo. Aloe Vera along with henna promotes hair growth and puts an end to the hair fall worries.
