They say that when it comes to quality, virgin hair extensions are at the very top. They are best known for their durability, volume, and rich dark color. Still, even the best hair extensions need a little tender love and care to keep it shiny and healthy. You’re probably already familiar with the basic hair care routine for your hair extensions and here’s one more to add to your regimen—aloe vera. That’s right, that prickly plant commonly used for herbal medicines can actually do wonders for your hair.

Go Green and Natural

Aloe vera has always been seen as a miracle ingredient in the hair industry because of its many benefits. It helps fight off frizz and locks the moisture into the strands and scalp. It also has a cleansing property that minimizes product build-up. It also helps protect against heat and stops shedding. Going green and natural are good for both your hair extensions and your natural hair so it’s always a win-win.

Aloe Vera Products

With its many benefits, aloe vera has expectedly become a popular ingredient for many cosmetic products. You’ll see bottles plastered on with the words “with aloe vera extract” left and right when you go to your local supermarket or boutique. At least it should be easy for you to get your hands on one.

Wash your hair and scalp with aloe vera juice or shampoo with aloe vera extract and let it sit for a while. Afterwards, rinse it off and apply conditioner mixed with some of its gel. From the moment you rinse off, you’ll see it helps add more shine to your hair extensions.

Homemade Recipes

The best thing about aloe vera is that it can be mixed with other great ingredients to enhance its effects. You can always experiment with some other ingredients you want like shea butter, perhaps, but it would depend on what your hair needs. If you want to get shinier, softer and less frizzy hair, coconut oil and curd are good ingredients to mix with aloe vera. You can leave the mixtures on for about an hour or so, then rinse off afterwards.

Aloe vera is a great addition to your hair care regimen whether you are wearing straight, curly or wavy virgin Malaysian hair extensions from companies like Virgin Hair Fixx.
