How are You using the Aloe Vera Juice....

PinkPebbles · Jul 11, 2008

Ladies-

Are you using the Aloe Vera Juice as an agent for more mositure in your hair? Do you add it to your conditioners for a DC or to your spritz moisture mix?

TIA!

d-rock · Jul 11, 2008

I'd like to know too.

adw425 · Jul 11, 2008

I do both, but I also use aloe vera gel as the base for my scalp concoction.

Did you notice a tremendous difference in the moisture level in your hair compared to commercial mositurizers?

I use it in a spray bottle with vegetable glycerine for moisture. For me, the aloe juice and glycerine is the absolute best moisturizer -- hands down.

I also drink 2-4 oz. a day..

I also use it as a facial toner after washing my face..

I agree whole heartedly. I make a similar concoction: one part aloe vera juice to one part rosewater glycerin. I then seal with coconut oil. I buy all three of these products at Whole Foods.

that toner tip sounds great. in the makeup/skin care forum Divine Inspiration suggests AV gel as a moisturizer but swiping on AV juice sounds like it would have similar effects.

ooh never thought about DCing with it although i need to go buy some to add to either the last of this braid spray or to make a new moisturizer altogether. trader joes here i come.

Aloe vera gel is the BEST moisturizer I've ever used. I use it as a daily moisturizer. I massage the AVG into my hair, one small section at a time. Then I seal with coconut oil. My hair comes out :love:

iasade · Jul 11, 2008

I do a combination of both when I feel like it, but mostly in a spritz.

Yes...My hair stopped drying out as the day went out. In particular, my hair would dry out horribly after working out and that doesn't happen any longer. Last night, I did something different....I saturated my hair with my moisture mist/spritz and went under the heat cap. Usually, I will spray on first and then add my creamy leave-in and seal with a bit of oil. Last night, after I steamed it into my hair, I rinsed in cold water to close the cuticle and my hair came out very nicely, indeed. I will not do this often because I have too many leave-ins to use up.

Yup! I also use 99% pure aloe Gel for my face and hair.

lilsparkle825 · Jul 11, 2008

OT: where can i get the glycerin in an actual store (not whole foods)? the guy at vitamin shoppe looked at me like i was crazy...i got the AV juice though so i can add it to my braid spray.

:surf:

remnant · Jul 11, 2008

gymfreak336 · Jul 11, 2008

This thread is right on time for me. I was just looking into what this was all about, mostly for my stomach but if I can get it do double duty then thats whats up!

AwesomelyNappy · Jul 11, 2008

morehairplease · Jul 11, 2008

I buy mine at Walmart. It's in the skin section of the pharmacy. It's usually at the bottom of the shelf.

mscocoface · Jul 11, 2008

I use it for those things as well as braids, twists and flat twists.

As a matter of fact, that is all I use to make my flat twists. It is great stuff.

I was thinking the same exact thing lol

Tamrin · Jul 13, 2008

I use it after my wash and add my Creamy leave in. Today I decided to use it alone and seal with coconut oil. My hair is soft and moisturized Im shocked. Im going to do this more often.

me-T · Jul 13, 2008

aloe has protein in it right? does usin it all the time cause breakage? i cant even use shealoe w/out my hair gettin hard, unless i need protein at the time

youwillrise · Jul 13, 2008

do you ladies use the aloe juice that comes in that big jug that you see everywhere? or is it a different kind? i always look at that jug and think about it, but i'm not quite sure if i should use that particular one in my hair.

PinkPebbles · Jul 13, 2008

I copied this picture from Atlien11 thread.

adw425 · Jul 14, 2008

I use the same juice (in the big jug) that I also consume. I used to get it from Puritan's Pride, but now I get it from Trader Joe's. I still buy the gel (consumable, food grade) from PP though.

Mook's hair · Jul 14, 2008

I put mine in a spray bottle with a little water and a cap full of SAA.

I use the big jug.

Do any of you refrigerate it The jug says to refrigerate after opening but I don't have room in my fridge for it.
