Whether your hair is thin, thick, coily, curly, dry, or oily, aloe vera can provide some benefits to your tresses, but Dr. Camp says one hair type may benefit more than others.

Some claim aloe vera may help strengthen your hair and make your scalp healthier. While there’s no clinical evidence to support this claim, aloe vera is safe for most people and may be beneficial.

If you're interested in using aloe specifically for hair growth, Dr. Shokeen recommends the following steps: Apply fresh aloe gel directly to the scalp. Massage the gel in for several minutes.
