Happy Weekend Hive!
Falling hair is a medical condition I may not strictly speaking suffer with BUT for whatever reason too much hair ends up in my brush, comb or laying on my shoulders and falling into whatever I am doing which is just undesirable on various levels! LOL
So when I came across a recipe for ALOE AND CHAMOMILE HAIR WASH TO INCREASE HAIR GROWTH AND EASE HAIR LOSS, I thought, oh go on then, let's give it a try. I have masses of aloe vera growing in the garden and a big bag of dried chamomile so here goes!
It turned out so beautifully I am now using it to not only wash my hair, but also as a face and body wash - it leaves hair and skin so so soft I am really happy I made the effort. Obviously I shall have to review my results after a few months to see if my hair seems stronger or is growing faster than it was. But immediately I love how soft it makes my hair and skin feel and with such healing ingredients - compared to store bought chemical filled rubbish that costs a lot and only does harm - then I feel I am already onto a winner. Plus the fact that I can use it all over my body means there will be no issue getting through the three jars this recipe made while it's still fresh.
If you want to try this out for yourself here is the recipe....
So I started by soaking three aloe leaves overnight in a jug of water to remove the yellow liquid that oozes out when you harvest it.
Then removed the gel pulp and popped into a food blender.
I made a small amount of strong chamomile tea and added that to the blender too.
I melted 60g of natural glycerine soap and added that to the blender.
Then I blended for a minute and ended up with the creamiest bowl full of aloe and chamomile soap.
I filled my three jars and popped then into the fridge to store them. Zero waste production meant the scraps went to the compost.
And my first hair wash was an utter success. Soft and tangle free hair. I have known some homemade wash preparations can leave hair dry and in tangles but this left my hair easy to comb through.
With aloe vera being such an amazing plant for healing and health I feel very happy and optimistic going forward and am thrilled to have a product that I can use for hair and body washing! I have just simplified life that little bit more!
I will be back with an update on my hair falling condition in a couple of months or sooner if I notice a definite improvement sooner. For now I am enjoying the immediate soft skin and hair and feeling like this is GOOD STUFF!
Let me know if you try it or if you have any healing hair/skin recipes of your own.
With love and healing blessings to you all.
