I have found my new detangling product and moisturizer!

DDTexlaxed · Jun 24, 2011

I watched a video by Legalmane. She showed how she replaced her moisturizer with aloe vera juice. She was able to get 4 day hair by spritzing with juice and doing chunky twists and doing a twists out. She says her texture is a 4B. I figured on trying it to get an early jump on HYHC 2011. I had an old wash n go and decided to spritz as an experiment. To my surprise, not only did my hair become really moisturized, but the knots literally melted in my hands. It took me 15 minutes to detangle my hair. Usually it takes an hour. My hair is SSK free. This saved me so much time with my hair. I can part and twist it more easily. I wish I knew how to post You tube channels because it was so helpful to me. :yep:

Do grocery stores sell this aloe vera juice? I've only seen aloe vera gel for sunburns. Does it leave a lot of buildup?

I actually just bought a gallon at Wal-Mart today of the avj in the pharmacy section. It was only $7.84.

I've been using avj + glycerin as my daily spray, then sealing with shea+hemp mix.

So far, no build up. I only needed enough to coat the section. I didn't use a special brand. I just discovered this today, so time will tell. My twists are so moisturized and plump! I don't think I will need another twist creme or butter ever again. :yep:

You can even get the berry flavor if you're feeling zesty :lol:

. I bought it a couple of months ago and it has a pleasant smell.

naturalnikki · Jun 24, 2011

I just have this stuff sitting n my bathroom I use to use it with my leave-in when I was using the kimmytube recipe. I've tried it in a spritz with water and glycerine, but I just never stick with anything. I forgot how it turned out... Guess I'll pull it out again!!!

Aloe vera juice, not gel! Aloe vera gel does not work for my hair at all! :lachen:

How is that for kicks. :lol:

Wait, you can DRINK it? What does it taste like? :lick:

I am learning so much! My hair has never ever been this soft and moisturized with my natural hair! I'm amazed!

nicole625 · Jun 25, 2011

@op, so you can just spray it in your whenever? It doesn't have to be diluted or used only on clean hair right? Im going to walmart today

DDTexlaxed · Jun 25, 2011

I have it in a spray bottle. AV juice strait. Nothing added. NO MORE SINGLE STRAND KNOTS, EVER! :lol:

I thanked Legal Mane on her you tube page. This literally shaved an hour off my detangling and styling time. I didn't even need a comb. I just parted with my fingers and twisted it. I only sprayed enough to coat the section. Even dry, it was easily manipulated. :yep:

I am ready for my HYHC until the end of the year.

Kurlee · Jun 25, 2011
