ALOE VERA WHOLE LEAF GEL BY " LILY OF THE VALLEY"...
As salaamu alaikum & Hello ladies,
Lately I have been using my Aloe vera whole leaf gel and let me tell you I love, love, love this stuff. It provides mega moisture, I mean was hair was soooo soft. It doesn't leave my hair with a hard , crunchy feeling at all. However, this is not a gel to be used every day, I found that it will leave build up if used daily.
I only use it on my wash day or days ( depending on what my hair is telling me, but normal just wash day without the S , LOL).
Here is what I do :
FIRST
I co- wash with either my Suave Humectant Conditioner, or a mixture of Suave naturals " Tropical Coconut" & VO5 moisture milks. Or depending on my hair needs I will use my Dr. Bronner's " PEPPERMINT PURE CASTILE SOAP". I looooove this stuff ( I will share more on that in my next post or two) , but I have nothing but love for that product. Moving on...
SECOND
I will do a Avocado hair smoothie treatment here is what I do:
1. I cut open 1 Avocado & scoop out all of the insides.
2. Add 3 Tablespoons of Olive Oil, (or oil of your choice)
3. Add 1/4 cup of water ( or more if needed)
4. Blend in a blender, and I mean blend well.
5. Apply to your hair, cover with a plastic bag.
6. Leave on for a least 1 hr.
7. Then I rinse well.
BE SURE TO USE A VERY OLD TOWEL, AVOCADO MAY STAIN.
NEXT
I apply Olive Oil, Vitamin E Oil, Coconut Oil, JoJoba Oil, castor oil or any oil of your choice. Sometimes I mix these oils , or just use one.
1. Apply a couple of spoonfuls of these oils to your scalp. Message into scalp really good, spread oils onto hair . Put on a plastic cap and leave on for 30 mintues.
2. Wash or co wash with warm water, turning water to cold making sure to seal in that much needed moisture. I do this every week.
THEN
I apply my lovely leave in conditioner ( talked about that in my last post).
Finally
I apply mt whole leaf Aloe vera Gel. Making this like a spritz into a spray bottle, I add:
1. A bit of the Aloe Vera Gel
2. 10 drops of lavender Essential oils ( or oil of choice)
3. A tablespoon or two of Olive Oil.
4. Shake it well, Apply and Style .
BE SURE TO KEEP THIS GEL IN THE REFRIGERATOR
So, I would have to say this product is a keeper, it works really well for my hair. Especially, when my hair needs that xtra bit of moisture! Great product for hair.
ENJOY!!!
MORE TO COME....
