Aloe Vera Gel

This morning I didn't have much time to get ready because my son woke up early and I had to deal with him.  So, I did a quick co-wash, used my It's Perfectly Natural Root Food on my problem spot, added my Aussie Moist and then instead of raking some Eco Styler Gel I used some of my Aloe Vera Gel to hold the curl.

I was pleasantly surprised with my results.  I used my Denman brush to get these defined curls with a light hold that reminded me of the Mop Top gel except my Aloe Vera gel cost only $2.49 while the Mop Top gel costs $17-$39.95 depending on the size you order.  The above picture is me right after a workout on my elliptical machine this evening.  So, even with sweat my curls are still popping!  I'm thinking that I'm gonna stick with my Hello Hydration for my co-washes, Aussie Moist for my leave in conditioner, and either the Aloe Vera Gel for a light hold or my Eco Styler for a more firm hold.  All total these product combined cost less then $15 and lasts for weeks sometimes months.  Until next time...
Blessings!

    I'm not a fan of any gel on its own but aloe vera gel is my choice since it's 100%. They all make the hair a little stiff. I layer Jane Carter Nourish and shine on top of my aloe vera gel and that keeps it soft and still laying down.

      Before I go to bed I will put some of my jojoba oil mixture and my tomorrow I will have much softer hair.

    I LOVE ALOE VERA GEL . . . in its most natural state. The one I use is a liquid. I get it from Butters-n-Bars. Good stuff.

    Your hair is growing and looks very good . . . even after a work out!

      I like all the wonderful natural properties in Aloe Vera Gel. It nourishes my hair and gives me a light hold. Thanks for the tip, I'll check out the Butters-n-Bars Aloe Vera Gel. Thanks for the compliment.

    Love the results; Anyway the fact that your son woke up early didn't put you in a bad mood sooo funny! You really enjoy taking care of him even if sometimes you had to wake up early; Mother love is really inconditional ;LOL
