I bought myself some aloe vera gel yesterday, and today I used it in a conditioner wash. But before that, I googled it for some information (since I'm a google addict and all that ). I found some mentions of aloe vera being used to treat bald spots and hair loss and that kind of thing. Now I'm curious about what this means. Does aloe vera help the hair growth? Can it make my hair grow thicker or faster or something like that if I apply it on my healthy scalp?

Even if it doesn't, I'll still keep using it; it made my hair feel lovely.
