Hello,Dear..Aloe is really good plant and as you state it moisturizes very well..But is more applicable and give best reasults over the skin,not the hair. I haven't heard about hair damages caused by Aloe,I will strongly recommend you to use some ither proven and excellent remedies for dry and exhausted hair. You may use Almond,or Sesami oils..Try the brand Phyto ,which for me is the best and they have a great shampoo that gives incredible results..contains so many natural ingredients ..Good luck!!

Aloe Vera is a cactus-like plant but is actually part of the lily family. There are over 300 varieties of the Aloe plant, but it is the Aloe barbadensis variety that exhibits the best medicinal properties........
Moisturizer: One of the main reasons Aloe Vera has become so popular among consumers is that it possesses incredible moisturizing properties. Studies show that Aloe Vera improves the skin's ability to hydrate itself, aids in the removal of dead skin cells and has an effective penetrating ability that helps transport healthy substances through the skin. Each of these factors make Aloe Vera an ideal ingredient in cosmetic and dermatological products. In fact, Aloe Vera is currently one of the most important ingredients in the cosmetics industry, being utilized in over 95% of the dermatologically valuable extracts manufactured worldwide.
Arthritis, Joint and Muscle Pain: Aloe Vera is believed to reduce severe joint and muscle pain associated with arthritis, as well as pain related to tendinitis and injuries. When applied directly to the area of pain, Aloe Vera penetrates the skin to soothe the pain. Studies have also found that ingestion of Aloe Vera on a daily basis can help prevent and cause a regression of adjutant arthritis.
Anti-Inflammatory: Aloe Vera promotes a variety of anti-inflammatory responses in the body, reducing swelling from injuries and promoting recovery from infections. Such anti-inflammatory responses not only aid in the relief of pain and discomfort, but also enhance the overall wound process.

No, I've never heard of aloe damaging hair. Aloe is a natural healing plant. It's good for the skin, too.

I have had split ends due to over heating/styling and when I used Aloe or mixed 100% pure aloe with my conditioner, my hair improved a great deal. It did no damage, what-so-ever. SO it's good for more than just your skin.
