scorpian said:I want to get pure aloe vera gel. Does it matter if the gel is clear or colored?I can't find the fruit of the earth gel and I see a lot of posts that rave about that one.Is there another brand that someone can recommend?
senimoni said:I think green might be ok, def not blue(usually has menthol), you need to look at the ingredients. I couldn't find FOTE either so I bought the CVS brand.
VWVixxen said:Have you ladies tried looking at WalMart? I found it last month over in the SunCare/SunTan lotion section. I've looked in a few other drug stores and found it in the same sections there as well.
I only use the clear kind.

VWVixxen said:Ekomba to the rescue!!What's the consistency of the gel you get from V.S.?
ekomba said:lol hey VWixxen it kinda liquid but gelly like ,on the bottle it says you can drink it but i never tried. i like to put it on damp hair to do twists or use it kinda like a gel but it does not flake though but keep the hair in place![]()

mzjones said:I use the same (I drink it too), but it works like a charm. I am 6 months post relaxer and wearing buns for two weeks betweeen cornrows. My bun are smooth and b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l
. Just this morning I was in the mirroring preening and amazed that the gel works sooo good and that my bun looks better at six months post relaxer than it did at 2 months post. I never thought aloe gel would work with my 4b hair.
I use alot.![]()
scorpian said:Are y'all talking about the liquid aloe vera juice or gel or both??I have a whole gallon of the fruit of the earth aloe vera juice in the fridge for drinking and mixing in conditioners and sprays.Ekomba is yours a holding gel?the juice that I have looks way too thin to be used on the edges as a holding gel for my daughters puff.
I'm confused now![]()
mzjones said:I only use the Lily Of The Desert aloe vera gel on my hair. I put the gel in my shakes when I run out of aloe juice.
