*~* The Aloe Vera Challenge *~*

[Ltown]

Instead of doing an AVJ rinse I made chicory's leave in mix since I already had all the ingredients. Added 5 drops of rosemary eo and some grapefruit eo for scent. I will be using this as my only leave in for 1 month and see how it goes

Checking in....made a leave in spritz with distilled water, AVJ and a little Giovanni Direct Leave In. Usually do a rinse of AVJ with distilled water and pour over my hair in the shower as final rinse, but the AVJ is soooo cold!

I also did the Chicoros moistured drenched prepoo and my hair really loved it. It felt so moisturized. Mixed the AVJ with Grapeseed and wheat germ oil and then covered with coconut oil. May revise my method of application as this was a little to messy.

My hair still dries hard and....well...dry...even after all this TLC. Have to figure out a remedy for that.

Ladies, do you poo after chicoro mix? I have been using this mix for so time and wgo solidfy so much i have to use poo to get it out.

Well the mix that I posted by Chicoro is supposed to be a leave-in mix so no i do not rinse it out at all. She has a prepoo and a leave-in. Mine doesn't solidify at all bc the mix only calls for 1-2 tablespoons of oil. You might be using too much WGO in ur mix which is why you have to poo to get it out.

Her prepoo also calls for 1-2 tablespoons of oil and the follow up with the coconut oil should be melted first so it shouldn't solidify. Hope this helps!

I've still been using my homemade moisturizing mix. My hair feels so soft and scalp feels good as well.

[Coilychi]

Does anyone buy aloe Vera in gallons? How do you store it? Do you go for those not requiring refrigeration?

 

[abcd09]

AVJ in my prepoo and Dc. Love it still.

@Coilychi

I use Georges brand aloe which doesn't need refrigeration. I buy it by the gallons.


ETA: I saw somebody here put on a baggy after putting aloe Vera on their hair. I did an aloe rinse and put a baggy on. Hoping this works almost like a DC treatment.

 

[jessicarabbit]

Checking in, GHE'd overnight with Ake vera juice, Hair came out soft and moisturized

I'm on the same boat with you. Doing a GHE with aloe vera. Hope I get some luscious results like you did

 

[*Frisky*]

I have been using my aloe vera juice spritz pretty much daily for the past week or so. My hair feels soft and not dry. I have yet to do a complete rinse with it. I was waiting on some products that I ordered to come in before I did.

 

[lovestarr]

Have been applying my aloe leave in daily. So far so good. DCing now with a mix of ayur powders and AVJ

 

[Ltown]

Using the juice everyday!

princesskaha,

I couldn't find the thread here but uts used on other forums

Chicoro's Moisture-Drenched Pre-Poo


Ingredients you will need:

In a bowl mix

• ½ cup of aloe vera juice or whole leaf aloe vera

• 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite oil (wheat germ, olive, safflower, walnut etc)

In a separate Bowl melt

• Food grade coconut oil (1/4 cup)

• Sit the bottle or jar in hot water- do not put in microwave



I use as prepoo.

 

[Nix08]

So I hope freezing the aloe juice is ok because the last batch I bought was taking up too much space in my fridge......I seperated it into a few batches and put them in the freezer.
