One of our favorite clients is on a 3 month business trip to the Philippines( we miss you O:) So in my quest I found their most popular tip to strengthen hair. Filipino women add luster to hair with aloe. These light green plants are well-known in the cosmetics department for nourishment to the skin. The gel-like molecules help hair reflect light, while the numerous vitamins and minerals including vitamins C, E, and zinc help fortify hair shafts. Apply fresh aloe gel to the hair as a mask before shampooing once a week. Keep well O, neshikot!
