The AloeVera Gel I purchased from a health food store already in liquid form. I'm sure you can use the plant to extract the liquid and use and it would be in its purest form. If you try that, please let me know.Gigglzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111986337935666625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-24860041591938234852009-06-16T03:58:12.459-04:002009-06-16T03:58:12.459-04:00Hi there, this post is a godsend!

I really didn't know these oils were good for hair loss so thanks for putting it out there!<br /><br />Just a question - you've got AloeVera Gel (Lily of the Valley) - does this mean that the Aloe Vera gel you're referring to does not come from the Aloe Barbadensis plant?Bajan Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17613287035306860890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-25719653530038033772009-06-14T10:35:49.633-04:002009-06-14T10:35:49.633-04:00Afrolady - thanks for reading.

I did twisties on a co-worker last week and chaptered and versed her on the benefits of aloe gel. Your post had more things than I knew - you certainly did your research.

Other than that the others around my perimeters are hanging in there. <br /><br />In regards to oil, I actually purchased the green tea oil from her shop and she told me I can use to two times a week. I found the oil to be a bit heavy so I diluted it with water and was using that. Then I made my own spritz and I use that about three times a week now. <br /><br />One thing to mention is that my spritz is 50% water because I'm using a 3:1 ratio of water to oils.Gigglzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111986337935666625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9161189852334081580.post-42826726624609956962009-06-05T23:54:59.443-04:002009-06-05T23:54:59.443-04:00I am just curious.

She said that moisture is not good for the locs because they are not mature and it will cause slippage. This came up because I was telling her that I have one in the front that feels like it wants to pop off. She described what it looked like as if she were here: more hair towards the end and it feels and looks like the loc is hanging by a string. She IMPLORED me not to use any oils right now and stated I should use Sea Breeze ONLY on the scalp if I have an itch. <br /><br />Needless to say I am FREAKED out about it because I have been doing a spritz here and there and I use a mouse with my rollers. Has your loctitian stated this? I have seen arguements on both sides. I must say, feeling through my hair, a couple of my locs do feel that way and I am not sure if it is new growth or what. How are yours holding up?A Sista Who Lockedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10315407636651724387noreply@blogger.com
