Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this whole aloe vera thing for a while now, mostly because I heard it’s like, magic for your hair. And yeah, I saw some stuff online about it maybe even changing your hair color? I was like, “No way,” but then I thought, “Why not give it a shot?”
First off, I got myself a big ol’ aloe vera leaf from the store. It’s kinda spiky, so watch out. I sliced that bad boy open, and there’s this gooey, clear gel inside. That’s the stuff you want. I scooped it all out with a spoon and dumped it into a bowl. Kinda looks like alien guts, not gonna lie.
Now, some people say you can just slap this gel straight onto your hair, but I’m a bit extra, so I blended it. Just to make it smoother, you know? It gets all frothy and bubbly, which is kinda fun.
Next, I hopped in the shower, washed my hair like usual, and then, while it was still wet, I started applying the aloe goop. I made sure to really massage it into my scalp and all the way down to the ends. It feels really cold and slimy, which is a weird sensation, but not unpleasant.
I wrapped my hair up in an old towel and just chilled for about an hour. You can leave it on for longer, or even overnight, but I’m impatient. Plus, I was worried it might drip everywhere.
After the waiting game, I rinsed it all out. This took a while, by the way. You gotta make sure you get all that aloe out, or your hair will feel kinda sticky. Once it was all clean, I let my hair air dry, ’cause I heard that’s better for it.
Results time! Did it change my hair color? Honestly, not really. Maybe it looked a tiny bit shinier, but that’s about it. I think those online articles were stretching the truth a bit.
But! My hair did feel ridiculously soft and smooth. Like, I couldn’t stop touching it. And it seemed a lot healthier, too. Less frizzy, more bouncy. So, even though it didn’t magically dye my hair, it did do some other cool stuff.
I’ve been doing this aloe vera treatment about once a week now, and I’m actually really liking it. It’s like a little spa day for my hair. Plus, it’s all-natural and doesn’t cost a fortune, which is a bonus.

Here’s the quick rundown if you wanna try it:
Just don’t expect any miracles in the color department. But hey, who knows, maybe it works differently for other people. If you try it, let me know how it goes! I also heard about mixing the aloe vera with Henna, but I am not sure how to do that, I need to do more research.
