[12/22, 12:25 PM] Baby: ALOE VERA OIL
Aloe vera plant is very beneficial to skin and hair.
I know it may be difficult for some of you to get those fresh Aloe Vera leaves straight from the plant, but trust me, just make a little effort to get or just buy a plant and put it into your balcony. This is the right time to plant aloe vera in your compound because it will be so useful for many operations in your natural hair journey.
For your Aloe vera oil these are the ingredients you will need:
1. Aloe Vera leaves.
2. Coconut oil or any carrier oil of your choice like castor oil, olive or almond oil.
3) Vitamin E oil as preservative

FIRST METHOD
1. Get matured aloe vera leaves (quantity depends on how much oil you need)
2. Wash and dice your aloe vera leaves,Transfer in an air tight bottle, pour olive oil and add 4-5 tablespoons of vitamin E for preservation
3. Cover the bottle and keep in cool place to sit for 3-4weeks
4. Thereafter,sieve out the oil to separate the diced aloe vera leaves.Transfer oil into a clean air tight container and store in a cool place.
Your aloe vera oil is ready!
You can choose to add few drops of lavender oil.

1. Take fresh Aloe Vera leaves wash them to remove any dirt.
2. Slice out the corners to remove the thorns. With a sharp knife, from top slice out the leaf into two.
3. Now take a bowl and extract the gel out of the leaf with a spoon and put it into a bowl.
4. Pour the coconut oil into a sauce pan or pot and place on a low heat. Let it simmer and occasionally keep on stirring the mixture well. With time you can hardly see any gel left and the oil turns into brown.
5. Take the pot or sauce pan off the heat, allow to cool, sieve your aloe oil into an air tight bottle. Your aloe vera oil is ready!
You can also add 3-4 capsules of Vitamin E oil as it acts as a natural preservative. This is optional because you can still store and use this oil for like one month.
