Aloe hairdressing
The ancients in China called hair "annoying hair" more accurately, because all modern women have racked their brains to deal with this kind of thing that has no practical value on their heads. They permed their hair today, straightened it tomorrow, and dyed it colorful the day after tomorrow, even spending a lot of money. It is these things that have made female artists, and no one has their own aesthetic declaration on their heads.
Even so, burnt hair and dandruff flying around like snowflakes from time to time are inevitable.
Because there are abundant sweat glands and sebaceous glands on human scalp, fungi can easily attach to them and breed, so dandruff flying around is inevitable.
Because aloe has obvious effects of regulating sebum secretion, sterilization and anti-inflammation, especially killing fungi in the scalp, it is necessary to thoroughly wet the scalp with aloe gel when washing your hair, and then wash it for 5- 10 minutes after careful combing, which can obviously remove dandruff for about two or three times. After repeated verification, this method is very effective; According to the above method, aloe also provides a variety of vitamins and amino acids that the human body can't synthesize, which can make the hair bright and elastic, and is more effective for people who often perm their hair and dye it to make their hair brown; Aloe contains anthraquinones, which can block the ultraviolet radiation in the sun and increase the moisturizing effect of hair. In addition, aloe can promote the blood circulation of the scalp, make the hair more nutritious, and make the hair thicker and more shiny.
As long as you can keep using it, you don't have to worry about "snow" in your hair anymore.

Aloe leaves will lose and destroy some effective components during processing, so their functions are not as comprehensive as those of fresh aloe leaves.

People who vomit after eating fresh aloe leaves, or cause severe abdominal pain and diarrhea should also be prohibited from eating.
