Hi lovelies, welcome to my channel. My name
is Chinwe Juliet and today I will be showing
how to make Aloe Vera Hair Oil for healthy
hair growth, thickness and volume.
Aloe Vera contains enzymes that repair damaged
cells on the scalp. It reduces dandruff. It
promotes hair growth and leaves natural hair
smooth and shiny.
The first thing you need is to get your aloe
vera leaves from your garden if you have one.
If you don’t, you can buy some from the
grocery store and it typically costs a $1.99.
We proceed to cut the aloe vera from the plant
as close to the root as possible and here
I am going to use two aloe vera leaves to
make this amazing oil.
This quantity is enough for my hair but if
you have more hair than I do or if you want
to make more than 200ml worth of oil, then
you can add more aloe vera leaves.
The next step is to rinse the aloe vera one
after the other and then allow it to sit for
about 10 to 15 minutes. This part is important
because it allows the yellow liquid latex
to drain out. This liquid contains a natural
chemical called aloin which may cause irritations
on skin If you are allergic to latex.
Once that is all dried out, proceed to cut
the spikes off. There are many ways to cut
out aloe vera gel but I will show you all
that in another video so don’t forget to

Also, comment below, “Aloe Vera for Natural
Hair” as I would love to see your thoughts
on this.
Proceed to cut the aloe vera into little pieces
and them put them into a bowl.
The SUPER SECRET ingredient in this aloe vera
oil recipe is Moringa leaves. I have the tree
in my garden.
Moringa leaves contain loads of vitamins and
minerals. They revive dry hair, increase blood
circulation of the scalp and help boost hair
growth.
I did not have a measurement but I eyeballed
it to make sure it was equal parts with the
aloe vera gel.
Next, I add my Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Extra
Virgin Olive Oil helps to retain moisture
in hair and protect your hair against UVA/UVB
rays. You can use any brand you want but in
this case I have two different brands and
I will be using the one from Sainsbury’s.
I used half a cup twice, which equals one
cup and in combination with other ingredients
is enough for making about 200ml.
Next, we prepare our DIY double-boiler which
is placing our bowl on top of a pot with water
to allow the heat to combine our ingredients.
Once the colour of the Aloe Vera bits change
and the Moringa leaves look cooked, then it
is time to take it off the hob and allow it
to cool.
Once cooled, you will need a sterilised bottle
with a funnel to pour in your aloe vera oil,
like so. I prefer spraying oils into my natural
hair so I am using a spray cover.
This is what the colour looks like outside
and this is what it looks like the next day.
The aloe vera oil is stable and does not separate,
so you don’t need to refrigerate.
To use on your natural hair, you can use it
as a pre-poo treatment or a sealant.
Don’t forget to comment, “Aloe vera for
natural hair in the comment section below.”
In this case, I am prepping to wash my natural
hair so I am using this oil to pre-poo. Pre-poo
means pre shampoo. I do this to infuse and
nourish my natural hair with all the amazing
oil nutrients and benefits.
I apply it on my natural hair and proceed
to massage my scalp. The aloe vera oil feels
great! It is super silky and absorbs fast!
