DIY Aloe Scalp Treatment for a Healthier Scalp, Less Shedding & Fuller-Looking Hair 🌿✨ If you've been noticing more hair shedding than usual or simply want to give your scalp some extra love, this is one of my favorite DIY treatments. What you'll need: 🌿 ½ cup fresh aloe vera gel – helps calm the scalp and supports a healthy environment for hair growth. 🥜 2 tbsp sweet almond oil – nourishes the scalp while adding softness and shine. 🧡 3 tbsp castor oil – helps strengthen the hair and reduce breakage. 🎃 2 tbsp pumpkin seed oil – rich in nutrients that may help support thicker-looking hair and reduce shedding. How to use: • Apply directly to your scalp. • Massage for 5–10 minutes. • Leave it on for 45–60 minutes. • Shampoo thoroughly as usual + conditioner How often: ✨ Once a week if you're dealing with shedding or thinning. ✨ Twice a month to maintain a healthy scalp. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Give it a good stir before each use and discard it if you notice any changes in smell or texture. If you'd rather make a fresh batch each time, simply cut the recipe in half. A few extra tips: • If your aloe leaves little flakes after blending, soak the aloe fillet in water overnight before blending, then pat it dry. • For sensitive scalps, add a splash of water to thin the mixture and apply it to damp hair. • You can also strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth for a smoother consistency. • Always patch test first if you have sensitive skin. One more thing... if you're experiencing extremely excessive or persistent shedding, don't ignore it. It's always a good idea to get bloodwork done to check for things like iron deficiency, thyroid issues, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances, since those can play a major role in hair loss. Healthy hair starts with consistency. Keep showing up for your scalp, be patient with the process, and remember that results take time. 🤍 #hairtok #haircare #HairCareTips #healthyhair #hairgrowth
