Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera helps to strengthen your hair, exfoliate dead cells, and penetrate deep into the scalp to treat dry scalp, dandruff, and prevent hair loss. The gel is a natural conditioner that nourishes hair from root to tip, providing shine and strength to the hair.
Dandruff (also known as seborrheic dermatitis) often causes itching and discomfort. However, Aloe Vera can treat these symptoms. Aloe Vera contains many anti-inflammatory fatty acids, which can reduce scalp inflammation – the cause of dandruff.
Aloe Vera contains vitamins A, C, and E, which support cell regeneration, promoting healthy and shiny hair growth. Aloe Vera also contains vitamin B12 and folic acid, which prevent hair loss.
Thyme
Thyme essential oil is familiar to many people, but few know its excellent benefits for treating hair loss, baldness, and promoting longer, stronger hair growth. It helps regrow thinning hair and also cleanses the scalp for healthy hair growth, strengthening the hair follicles and hair bulbs to prevent hair loss and regrow thinning hair.
For those who have dry scalp, dandruff, and itching, regular use of thyme essential oil will bring noticeable improvement.
In addition to the potential benefits for hair development, using thyme oil for hair conditioning also provides a strong, refreshing aroma that you can enjoy when applied to the scalp.
