Here’s a simple, effective way to make aloe vera oil at home—great for hair growth, scalp health, and skin care.
🌿 Aloe Vera Oil (Infused Oil Method)

🔪 Step-by-Step Method
1. Extract the Gel

- Stir continuously until:
- Water content evaporates

- Residue turns slightly brown
⏱️ Takes about 10–15 minutes
4. Strain & Store

- Strain using a clean cloth
- Store in a glass bottle
