aloe comes in many forms, if you have 4C hair and are looking for some natural ways to take care of it, aloe vera can be your new best fren. here's some tips and tricks on how you can use different forms of aloe vera at home.

• aloe vera gel: the gel from the aloe vera plant is probably the most well-known and widely used form of aloe vera. to use it on your hair, you can apply it directly to your scalp and hair strands as a leave-in conditioner. it's great for adding moisture to your hair and can help to reduce frizz. simply apply the gel to your hair and then use a wide-tooth comb to distribute it evenly. leave it in for at least 30 minutes before rinsing it out.

• aloe vera oil: aloe vera oil is a bit harder to come by, but it can be a great addition to your hair care routine. it's lightweight and non-greasy, making it perfect for those with natural hair who want to avoid heavy oils. you can use it as a scalp treatment by massaging it into your scalp and leaving it on for 10-15 minutes before shampooing. it can also be used as a sealant to lock in moisture after applying your leave-in conditioner.

• aloe vera juice: aloe vera juice is another great option for those with 4C hair. it can be used as a hair rinse to help remove buildup and soothe the scalp. simply mix a small amount of aloe vera juice with water and pour it over your hair after shampooing. let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it out.
