  Aloe Vera plant is also called “Miracle Plant” as it has thousands of benefits. That’s why Herbi® followed several years of research and tests, discover the way to filter and preserve its extract (Gel) in its pure form. And finally launched the 100% pure Aloe vera gel in the market, and receiving appreciation from its consumers.

    I wash my hair with pure aloe gel and water and all I pay is 1 dollar for something that lasts me over a month. I purchase a leaf which is 100% aloe and has no added chemicals. And i keep it fresh by storing the whole leaf in the fridge. This product is expensive and and superfluous – don’t buy it!

I use it in my homemade shea butter mix to moisturize and twist my hair – Shea butter, castor oil, coconut oil, aloe vera gel (the food grade one with the consistency of water).

I also use it as a spritz (straight or with water) to moisturize my hair.

How are you able to mix Aloe gel with vegetable glycerin, any essential oil and coconut milk to make a shampoo? Which of these acts as the actual cleanser?

Does aloe vera help your hair grow or castor oil…or both??
- Nikishariley
  
  Aloe gel balances the pH of the hair and cleanses the pores. Its used as a no-poo replacing a shampoo. So if you are a fan of co-washing than this can be used in place of that.
  - Nikishariley
    
    Both castor oil and aloe gel are reported to aid in hair growth. So you can mix both or use them separate. I hope this helps .

    Wow! My mom comes from the Caribbean. When I was younger I mentioned how the rastas from her island had super healthy looking dreads and asked her what do they do. She told me they use straight aloe + water to wash their hair. Hmmm… I need to try this out.

      @bf63006b809f5284f6dbea6a1d0dc7b2:disqus I use it as a leave in and as a detangler sometimes, but never used it as a no-poo, I’m gonna try it myself

I use aloe gel as…a gel, lol. I’ll use it in place or with other gels. It has a nice soft hold.

which aloe vera gel (as in brand) do you use and WHERE do you get it form? I thought I could just go my local Walgreens and pick up a bottle but none of theirs was pure aloe vera gel. My hair responded really well to aloe vera juice so I’d love to try gel for more shine and definition

  Hey@470e27f07e01c2f21a21b0d6a55019ff:disqus if you look below at C-lemons comment, she had a similar question and I replied with where I get mines as well as a list of other brands that you can find at the Vitamin Shoppe, Wholefoods,Trader Joe’s, and online

I’ve used aloe vera as a detangler/pre-poo (when mixed with oil) as well as an addition to conditioners(leave in, rinse out, DC), shea butter mixes and henna mixes.

  @b75a246d21368e5aabfdfa398da9a8ee:disqus I’ve been reading around and it looks like aloe gel is good for low porosity hair. You can mix aloe gel with shea butter and oils as well
  - LePenseur
    
    … that’s exactly what I do, I mix mine with a mix of essential oils and shea butter. I get my gel directly from the plant though (the consistency is sooo gross *ewww*)
    - LePenseur
      
      … I also add a bit of honey and very little egg white, just to give it more hold since I’m locking my hair. =)

I used it so many times, and always it given a perfect result. It prevents excessive hair loss, also most vital benefit is it balances pH level of hair.

Can I ask what the actual measurements or portions are for the aloe, glycerine & coconut milk co-wash recipe is? I experimented a bit myself… I tried using equal parts aloe and coconut with a teaspoon of glycerine and ended up with super greasy hair! Then I tried 1/2 cup of aloe with a teaspoon of coconut *water* instead of milk and no glycerine, and it was much better.

hi, can u tell how it works in shea butter? i had been using lily of the valley, food grade avg that you can drink but i mistakenly bout the kind that can sit on the shelf, it says 100percent and its by fruit of the earth? do you think this will work?
- Nikishariley
  
  Aloe gel or juice works great in shea butter @3266791373d4985ee322b8a9eaba889e:disqus . It can be used as a moisturizer and styling product. You can try a recipe like this:
  1/2 cup shea butter
  1/4 cup aloe vera gel
  2 tablespoons of coconut oil or evoo (what ever oil you like).
  Use a hand mixer on low speed to mix

I lost about 40% of my top-scalp hair when I was 20. At the time, I had my first eczema outbreak, and later learned that my thyroid needs assistance, my ovaries need assistance, and my gallbladder was bad. I just had the last three taken care of and am in the process of leveling out all the hormones.

However, my hair still hasn’t grown in. There is new growth, but the follicles are thin and baby-hair-like. I was told to try this for the acidic issues I have bc of the lack of gallbladder.

Has anyone had anything similar, and has AVgel ingestion/application helped?

My “locks” are breaking off in the front. What do you recommend to keep locks healthy and strong. I also want to avoid dryness. I use oil but I may not be using the right one. Scalp is very sensitive.
