Lucky's Mom Your hair turned out nice. You rinse your hair in aloe vera gel & coconut oil? How do you achieve this? What are your ratios? Are you adding water or something; is thsi for porosity as your final rinse? I may want to try this!

Hey sweets!!!!!
I started using this Aloe mix a long time ago ( I think I posted it here ages ago...too)
Anyway...I looked at a couple of Conditioners that contained these 2 ingredients.... I also use Aloe Juice pretty much daily for everything... ( leave in conditioner, for slicking hair, etc....) Also have been using this for years....
Those two items...Aloe gel ( Food Grade) with coconut oil have worked well for me.... Rinses beautifully for my hair. It feels soft, it helps to get any residue out after I deep condition. I also spread a little on my face
Feels wonderful!I don't use any ratios. I mix a little oil into my aloe....Mix..... And use. I put it on my hair in sections.....Wait a couple minutes - then rinse.. I don't know about porosity and all that crap. I really don't care. Workouts have helped my hair.... All the other stuff, I don't pay attention and I don't have time to think of it. I use Aphogee - thanks to @Chicoro - every three or four months. I marrk the bottle for the dates.
I also use this Aloe mix as a detangler I add a tsp of Wheat germ oil when I detangle. =) It is cheaper than my beloved Oyin Honey Hemp....
I hope that helps. I use this and distilled water as my final rinse....this proves to give me an excellent blow dry and Super shiney
flat iron. My hair gets SOFTER And SOFTER Each day!

thanks mama!!!!
Honestly - I learned that I needed to put the serums/ sprays on during the Blow Dry - and I strictly blow dry in sections.... I allow the dryer to do the straightening.
... And I use ONE PASS for the Flat iron. I don't use ANY sprays or Serums during that time. I use a tiny bit of serum for the edges...
But - that is becasue I have STUBBORN Greys! The curls Stayed in for 2 DAYS!

Your hair is very pretty, but you look fabulous!!!! I'm so happy for you...go girl!!!
Hello all!
I rarely post anymore... but I thought some of the vets might want to see where my hair is these days. I don't take progress pics anymore.... and I really don't flat iron often because of my intense workout schedule... I have lost over 60 pounds and looking to lose 25 more or so.
But - I hope these are an inspiration to those who are growing out their natural locks!
ETA: HOW I DID IT I Shampooed with Etae Shampoo ( My only shampoo) Deep conditioned with Oyin Handmade Honey Hemp conditioner ( the only condish I use.... I only have 2 in my stash these days), rinsed with Aloe Vera gel & coconut oil mix...... blow dry with FHI Ceramic Dryer......used Turn up the Heat serum while blow Drying......Flat Ironed with FHI Runway.....
I was soo grateful that my hair came out so beautifully for my 10 year aniversary Party!
Smooches!

Congrats on your amazing weight loss! I remember both you and your hair when i used to lurk before joining
I am so very sorry for the loss of your father
I'm glad to see you've taken so many wonderful steps to lead your life in a more positive direction. You look over 15 years younger! I'm always amazed at how weight loss changes a person's face, usually for the better. I'm going through this experience myself and I am amazed at the bone structure emerging right before my eyes

Thanks luckysmom, I finally have a good use for my gallon of aloe vera gel I bought on a whim. I will give this a try; perhaps I'll purchase some distilled water too, hmm
