I haven't. Where would you get pure aloe? from the plant?

I haven't, but I have used 100% aloe vera gel in my conditioner and shampoo after reading of the benefits on the hair and scalp from a site on the internet. My hair did feel nice afterwards. I have since slacked on doing this though.

I tried it once. I purchased a large aloe leaf from the chinese grocery shop, cut it open and drained out the filament and gel. I let the cut leaf sit upside down in a bowl to drain out. Then I took the gel and applied it to my damp hair and I let it sit for about an hour or so. When I rinsed it out my hair seemed a little hard, but in a good way..I guess I would have to to say it felt stronger?? I don't know if the moisturizing effects were that evident and I don't know if the whole thing was worth all of the steps...so after that one time, I have just used store-bought aloe vera gel to add to some of my conditoners, etc.....HTH!

I add to my conditioner I use for CO washing (putting mostly on dry hair, but sometimes on wet hair), my scalp concoctions and my moisture spritz (which is mostly aloe vera). I use aloe daily. However, I haven't strictly used it for a pre-poo, though. It helps my hair retain moisture all through the next day even after my work-out.

I haven used it by itself as a pre-poo... I just add it to my conditioners sometimes

I have used aloe and avocado as a prepoo and deep conditioner. I use the gel from a leaf blended in a bullet with avocado and silk aminio acid. I also will add other things too. It leaves my hair feeling very moisturized.

I also take the gel from the leaf blend in bullet until frothy and add a little infused water and a little bit of oil and Voila' my version of s curl for moisturizing.

I add more infused water and its my spray mix, delete the extra water and add more oil and I use that for my braiding gel/oil.

I also use aloe on my face as toner and on the heels of my feet for softness.
