My secret weapon has helped my hair grow since high school – all my friends ask for my tips, I promise it works
A HAIRCARE enthusiast has given her secrets to long, healthy tresses using methods dating back to her high school days.
She said her beauty methods are so effective, she has several of her friends asking for her secrets.
Julianne Peer (@juliannepeer), 23, filmed herself demonstrating the hair hacks in a video on TikTok.
“This has been my secret weapon since high school,” she said, holding up a green jar. “So this is aloe gel.”
She said she became aware of the power of aloe vera gel while reading up on hair growth.
“I discovered this one day in high school. I was looking up everything, and I came across aloe,” she said.
“[It] said it makes your hair grow, and it’s very good for your hair.
“I was desperate, and I use it as a hair mask, basically,” she added of her haircare staple.
Peer added that it didn’t take long before she saw results from using aloe gel.
“I swear to you, a month after using this, my hair, all of my friends, they’re always like, ‘Oh, my God. Like, What do you use on your hair?'” she said.
She also recommended adding a little bit of rosemary oil on her locks for extra growth, using Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Scalp and Hair Strengthening Oil, which sells for $8.93 on Amazon.
“Use aloe before you wash your hair for a month or two,” she said.
“I promise you, you’re going to see a difference. This is the reason why I’m never scared to cut my hair, because if I hate it, all you need to use is aloe,” she added.
Peer said that she uses the Aloderma Organic Aloe Vera Gel, $12.99 on Amazon, to slick back her hair for all-day stay.
“Once [the aloe gel] is dry in your hair, it’s not crusty, it’s not crunchy, it’s not hard. It really just feels like your hair, but it’s slicked down,” she said in a follow-up video.
“This has so many benefits besides just hair growth. I first looked this up, it was for hair growth. It helps with the texture of my hair, and that’s why I was so hooked on it,” she added.
According to one study, aloe vera has anti-aging effects which may boost collagen.
The videos drew in other haircare fans, with one commenting, “I just went to Amazon so fast and bought it. I’m convinced.”
