My houseplant made my damaged hair grow halfway down my back

A hair care enthusiast shared that the secret to growing her locks can be found in her own home.

Her damaged locks grew to the middle of her back after she added a houseplant to her daily care routine.

Reddit user Blugty said there was one item that brought her curls back to life.

“Aloe Vera saved my curls and honestly helped me regrow my damaged hair,” she wrote in a after.

She explained that before incorporating it into her hair care routine, her locks would grow no longer than her shoulders.

Now it’s halfway down her back.

She admitted that some of the damage was caused by chemically relaxing or straightening her hair until she was 12, and that she still gets a blow-dry once a week.

Aloe vera has several benefits, which she has experienced herself.

“It leaves my hair extremely hydrated and soft and my curls have never looked better,” she said.

DIY DETAILS

For best results, she uses a specific method for her home remedy.

You have to ‘prepare it well’.

“First cut off the white end and soak it in a vase of water for at least an hour so that the yellow sap disappears,” she said.

Then cut off the skin and scoop all the jelly-like “meat” into a blender.

After you mix it, you’re not done yet.

She recommended sieving it to remove the white bits.

Not once, but twice.

Then apply the remaining product from the top of your scalp to the ends.

Hair transplant surgeon Dr. Matee Rajput spoke to The US Sun about the best ingredients for your scalp.

He said that aloe vera promotes hair growth and soothes it.

He recommended applying it directly to the scalp and leaving it on for about an hour before rinsing it out.

Some people leave it on for at least an hour, but the Reddit user said she leaves it on overnight.

Wash your hair as usual in the morning.

She does this once a week and the results speak for themselves.
