10 Benefits of Aloe Vera
Benefit #8: Prevents and Lessens Hair Loss
Hair loss is not fun. However, it is very common and affects both men and women. It is most common in men who are 40 years or above because the scalp loses its ability to hold onto hair.
In historical contexts, aloe vera has been used as a hair loss treatment. Today, aloe vera is also used in many hair products. In 2010, a study was published in the International Journal of Pharmacology, which supports the ideal of aloe vera gel helping with hair loss. In their study, participants rubbed the gel on their skin and, after just 5 days, test subjects began to see signs of regrowth. Thus, if you are beginning to see signs of hair loss, rubbing aloe vera on the affected spot could help.
