[Hairroots]

Spritz with AVJ to moisture my ends my hair is still in need of alot of moisture after doing a hardcore protein treatment this pass weekend.

 

[xomonaijax]

I need to be consistent.

 

[naturalagain2]

Still spraying my Senegalese twist with AVJ along with my other concoctions.

 

[Nix08]

Did an aloe rinse today and also used avg in my scalp during my DC.

 

[lovestarr]

Still have been using my aloe leave in spritz 4-5 week. Added some avj to my dc yesterday and just applied my spritz after my cowash

 

[Nix08]

Did an aloe rinse today with a couple drops of peppermint oil

 

[Hairroots]

Sprayed AVJ to my new growth for moisture before sealing.

For those that are spritzing with avj, are you just using that straight, or are you mixing it with anything?

I have mine mixed with evoo and peppermint eo. I only use avj alone if I'm doing an aloe rinse

 

[Nix08]

Did a final rinse with aloe vera juice straight up

 

[Nix08]

Another Aloe rinse tonight.....now that I do a tea rinse mid cowash it's easier to remember to get both out of the fridge. I'm on a grow mission ladies

 

[Ltown]

I've been mia on vacation i will be back on spritz this weekend.

 

[lovestarr]

Mixed some avj with my DC. Time to make another spritz because the rest of this batch is starting to look a bit funky

I mix mine with water, oils and a leave in condish. But it's a greater percentage of AVJ then anything else.

 

[Nix08]

Will aloe rinse tonight after my cowash

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I'm going to in this challenge because I am trying to find ways to incorporate Aloe into incorporate aloe into my reggie!

Awesome challenge!

I was looking all over the internets for KimyeTube's leave in conditioner and what do you know, I found it in a LHCF thread!! It includes AVJ, I plan to whip up a batch this week.

I might use avocado oil in my mix instead of castor oil.

1 oz Knot Today Leave-In (or 2 tablespoons of YOUR preferred leave-in)
2 tablespoons of (Whole leaf version) Aloe Vera Juice with a pH 4.0 or 4.5
2 teaspoons of Castor Oil (optional. I sometimes do without it)
2 teaspoons of Jojoba Oil Mix well.

It’s enough for me to use on my entire head of hair. I have “bra strap length” hair and it is normal -not thick or thin. Sometimes there is mixture left over, usually not. When there are leftovers, I put it in the fridge for later use. I use the leftovers within 3 days

Thanks for posting. I was just thinking about this. I might try it this week before doing my twists.

 

[abcd09]

Did a prepoo and DC with AVJ. Nice and moisturized

 

[KurlyNinja]

These aloe vera rinses are giving my hair life! My hair feels stronger and looks shinier even when its not fully moisturized. Can't wait to see what my hair looks like straightened out after a whole summer of aloe rinses.

 

[lovestarr]

Added some avj to my DC and will be using my aloe spritz as a leave in when I rinse out my DC

 

[chelleyrock]

I totally forgot about this challenge Sorry KurlyNinja

I'm still using aloe vera daily as a spritz to spray down my hair for braidouts and twistouts. The spritz consists of:

1 cup aloe vera gel/juice
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp Kinky Curly Knot Today
2 tsp olive oil

It is really making my hair much softer and keeping it moisturized to where I don't have to do much of anything.

Now if I can just solve my frizzy twist problem, my life will be complete

 

[Hairroots]

Spritz with aloe Vera juice before adding my leave in conditoner.

 

[ravenhairedcharm]

KurlyNinja Alright after you talked about your aloe vera rinses in the other thread, I'm really curious. I used to use it as a spritz (that was about a year ago), and didn't really hate it or love it. I want to try using it as a rinse now. I also hear that it has some good hair growth properties.

 

[Hairroots]

I added aloe vera juice in my leave in conditioner for more mositure.

 

[Ltown]

I'm still using aloevera, either as spritz or its in some of my pomade like hv red tea.

 

[Nix08]

Did an aloe rinse (mixed with tea) last night.

 

[Hairroots]

I added AVJ to my leave in conditioner. Added to my hair as a moisturizer.
