I bought some Aloe Vera Juice yesterday. So I will be incorporating this into my hair routine. I don't have a good regimen as far as daily moisturizing or moisturizing inbetween washes, so I plan on adding aloe vera juice to my leave in after washes and mix AVJ w/water to use as a daily moisturizer, if needed. Do any of you ladies use it? How do you like it? What effects have you seen with it? I used it last night after co-washing (decided to try the kimmaytube leave in) and it seems like it made my hair so soft!

I just have to remember to strain it next time so I won't be picking bits of aloe out of my hair. lol.

I use just AVJ by itself (no diluting) and you're right. It made my hair soft. Love it.

Today is Wash Day and so much is going to happen.

I'm going to give my hair: a pre-poo of Olive Oil, Grapeseed Oil, and Honey and try to detangle as best as I can with my fingers and dry hair; a clarifyer of Baking Soda and Vinegar (regular if I can't find any Apple Cider); a deep conditioning treatment of Shea Moisture's Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque with avocado, an egg, coconut oil, and Vitamin E Oil.

I might just use my regular cheap-y conditioner that I use for co-washes for a conditioner if I need it. I don't think I will, but it's there just in case. Then I'll put my hair in twists for a Twist Out that I learned from Whitney (or Naptural85 on YouTube) which I'll condition further with Shea Moisture's Curl Enhancing Smoothie, Coconut Oil, a little more Vitamin E Oil and Grapeseed Oil, and then seal with Olive Oil.

My hair is going to be so happy when this is over. I love Wash Day, which may seem strange since a lot of Naturalistas don't like it. I think it's because I know that this is the best that I'm doing for my hair's health.

From my iPhone, love WSP

I really don't know my hair's porosity but I think you just helped me figure it out. I thought I was pretty heavy handed with it and it didn't sit on top of my hair or scalp. Lol, thank you!

Oh how I wanna wash my hair today. Wash day isn't until Tuesday though. ugh.

Guess I'll just co-wash and DC tonight.

I haven't combed my hair all week. I'm so proud of myself.

Since my twist and curl look so pretty I left it in another day. It didnt look too cute today so right now im doing a hot oil (Africa's pride growth oil, castor oil, honey, olive oil, and Rosemary) treatment which ill probably leave overnight. In the morning I wash with my shampoo, see if I have some conditioner and then do a DC with this henna and placenta.

So, I was on the phone and running my fingers through my blown out hair and I'm being all weird smelling it& crap since I'm amped up that its gotten so long lol. Well, as I was examining my ends I noticed an incredible amount of single strand knots and splits! I just trimmed in the beginning of July. I'm so annoyed but I sucked it up and bought some shears from CVS. Trimming in like, 5 mins to get this over with...
