Aloe vera is such a multi-beneficial plant. It consist of 75 nutrients, 20 minerals, 12 vitamins, 18 amino acids and 200 active enzymes. This plant is great for hair, skin, and health!! The great thing about aloe vera is that you can use it internally and externally!! Aloe vera is useful in treating skin ailments such as eczema, psoriasis, blisters, insect bites, and so on. It's great for hair health because it stimulates the production of new hair, and it tames excessive frizz. Aloe vera also is pH balancing, has anti-fungal properties, and helps hair retain water and moisture. When taken internally it aids in digestion by detoxifying the body, alleviates acidity, helps with inflammation, and intestinal ulcers. This plant is such an amazing plant. You can buy the leaf at your local supermarket, and it won't even break your pockets!! Here is a aloe vera leave in recipe from BGLH'S website.

Sweet almond oil is extracted from sweet almonds. It can be used as a carrier oil for your essential oils, and it's great for skin and hair. Sweet almond oil does not penetrate the hair like olive oil or coconut oil. This oil is better used as a sealant or carrier oil. It prevents hair loss, provides shine, and strengthens hair. I have this oil in my bathroom right near the sink. If I find that I am washing my hands too much I use sweet almond oil on my hands. If I am going out, I spray the ends of my twist with water and seal with sweet almond oil. If there is a conditioner that contains sweet almond oil, I add a little more. Sometimes my face gets a little dry from the heat in my house, I grab my trusty sweet almond oil. I also use it to seal my hair after a wash. Do you use almond oil? What benefit did you see from using it? Leave a question or comment in the box down below and thank you for visiting:)
