100%aloe vera gel or just the juice?

[Crissi]

Which one is better? After been fustrated with all this formulation changes of my favourite products, i figured out that i am going to create my own moisturizers based on the success i had with the old formula products.

TIA

I just ordered the aloe vera juice from lotioncrafters. I'm sure that it should not be too hard to find in a health food store.

I use the gel just for more control over it running down my face. I think either one is good...long as it's pure!

I use the food-grade AV, not the ones that say 100% as the food-grade gel and the juice/drink work better for me than the 100%, which dried my hair out when I used it in the past. The gel detangles like a dream and give me great slip and the use the juice as a base for my moisturizing mist/spritz. I order the Swanson's Health brand or the Puritan's Pride brand that I also take internally. I have used AV in my hair everyday since early January and it is a keeper.

 

[Lucky's Mom]

I also use Food grade Aloe Vera.

U can get it from vitamine shoppe or other health food stores.
I add it to my deep conditioners and it doesnt make my hair hard at all.
I take it internally as well.

I bought Aloe Vera gel from Kmart today but I'm kinda wondering if I should have bought the juice instead. Those of you that have the gel, are you using it "straight" or mixing it with something?

 

[morehairplease]

You can get it from GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, and health food stores. Also, check in Walmart near the pharmacy.

If you have a Trader Joe's in your area, they sell food grade aloe juice.
