Use Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is another awesome secret for growing your hair. It’s chockfull of amino acids and proteolytic enzymes that improve scalp health and encourage faster hair growth. It also controls hair shedding so your hair stays thick and voluminous, and it nourishes your hair follicles through protein, vitamins and minerals. Aloe Vera also has a high moisture content, ensuring your hair stays conditioned and hydrated, which is key to hair growth. You can make a pure Aloe Vera hair mask by slicing an Aloe Vera leaf, scooping out the gel, and running it through a food processor for a smooth consistency.
