Aloe Vera Gel to Curl Hair

There is nothing more natural than using Aloe Vera Gel in it's purest form. As I am a beauty therapist, I cannot comment on hair - however I did see a very cool article from khaleejtimes.com showing that you can use Aloe Vera gel to curl hair.

For the following you can use Aloe Vera gel straight from the plant, or if you prefer to use a contained Aloe Vera gel, Forever offer 100% pure stablised Aloe Vera.





First,damp the hair, then rub aloe vera into it and scrunch the hair, making curls. Upon drying, the curls will set. This gel will also keep the hair healthy and full.

Aloe Vera and exfoliators

Training with Dermalogica allowed me to find the benefits of all the ingredients used in facials. If you are a beauty therapist who uses Dermalogica it is very useful to understand why each ingredient works well for each treatment.

For example, the popular exfoliator provided by Dermalogica "skin prep scrub" contains Aloe Vera to reduce the chance of over stimulating the skin.





Forever, the largest growers of Aloe Vera in the world have created a "deep cleanse exfoliator". Forever are great if you are organic conscious and are seeking to purchase from a nature conscious company.
