Step 1: Extract Aloe Vera Gel
If you’re using fresh aloe vera, cut an aloe vera leaf and scoop out the clear gel. Use about 2 tablespoons of the gel.
Add 1 teaspoon of honey for extra moisture if desired, and you can also add curry leaves if you want a natural hair darkening boost.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you get a smooth paste.
Gently massage the mixture into your scalp for 5-10 minutes to stimulate circulation and ensure the nutrients are absorbed.
Step 4: Let It Sit
Leave the mask on your hair for 30-60 minutes. For best results, you can wrap your hair in a shower cap or warm towel to help the ingredients penetrate more deeply.
