This is what I posted earlier in another thread: I use the food-grade AV, not the ones that say 100% from the drugstore 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 (dietary supplement) detangles like a dream and gives me great slip. I use the juice as a base for my moisturizing mist/spritz. I added filtered water, (tiny bit) orange oil, rosewater, a splash of castor and avocado oils and a tiny bit of Right On curl activator -- less than one percent. I use the Swanson's Health brand or the Puritan's Pride brand that I also take internally. I have used AV in my hair and on my scalp everyday since early January and it is a keeper.
