"...The only listed ingredient should be coconut oil..." This is a wise guideline to always remember.<BR/><BR/>Yes, many are pretending that their coconut oil is pure, 100%, etc., when in reality, it's made from low-grade copra (the dried white meat/kernel).<BR/><BR/>Check out the aroma and flavor. Virgin or organic coconut oil has that mild fresh coconut scent and taste. You just can't miss it. This is of course assuming you have smelled and tasted a fresh coconut before.<BR/><BR/>Take care.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>CoconutOilGuy<BR/><A HREF="http://www.coconut-oil-central.com" REL="nofollow">www.coconut-oil-central.com</A><BR/>Your Drugstore in a BottleFrederickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03320607673193107558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681723265121376558.post-22592159406350204422008-11-26T22:09:00.000-05:002008-11-26T22:09:00.000-05:00Aloe Vera gel.<BR/>You can get it at Trader joe's for cheaper.<BR/>Food grade is always best.<BR/>It doesnt have much hold power, so as a styling gel might not work.<BR/>I use it as a detangler at night before i twist my hair up. It is EXCELLENT detangler.

Poor thing. I guess he meant well.<BR/><BR/>I'm more used to coconut oil in the liquid form though. Never seen it have a consistency like that.

Also look at the label to see the ingredients and if the product contain any genetically modified item (GMO). It's pretty rare to get a jar of Virgin coconut oil for less than $8 - so you know it's a less quality if you only pay a couple of bucks for a jar of supposedly coconut oil.Healthy Oil Guyhttp://www.healthy-oil-planet.com/coconut-oil.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681723265121376558.post-52614731666781241002008-11-19T01:25:00.000-05:002008-11-19T01:25:00.000-05:00Lol thats pretty funny, but an understandable mistake.

It worked great when my hair was short in my wash and gos. I use it now like everyone else has said, to slick down flyaways. I've heard of Shealoe, but I'm not sure about that. I have some unrefined Shea butter that I need to do something with.

I&#39;ve never tried either, just passing it along...thfromthabaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681723265121376558.post-49526575803431520392008-11-18T11:55:00.000-05:002008-11-18T11:55:00.000-05:00@Full Complexity: I was considering using it in some capacity as a part of my &#39;wash &amp; go&#39; routine... I&#39;m going to look into that...

It gave my curls nice definition and kept it moisturized. Now, I use it when I slick back my hair into a pony and use it around the edges to slick down those curly fly aways. <BR/><BR/>You can add jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, or any oil of your liking to AVG for an extra boost of moisutre. It just depends on what your hair likes. <BR/><BR/>I used it all throughout the summer for my wash and gos and my hair thanked me by growing!!<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps!FullComplexityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09622478717974394374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681723265121376558.post-35258488164474625522008-11-18T10:45:00.000-05:002008-11-18T10:45:00.000-05:00I got my coconut oil from Whole Body &amp; it&#39;s pure. And it was on sale for $8.99.<BR/><BR/>I&#39;ve been wanting to get the Aloe Gel also. I know it&#39;s used to condition the edges &amp; slick them down. But like RenRen said...it can probably be used to add to a deep conditioning treatment or maybe as a light scalp conditioner?Nesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07966850022470690764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681723265121376558.post-3332043884979158402008-11-18T09:34:00.000-05:002008-11-18T09:34:00.000-05:00i think you can mix the aloe with some other stuff to make a deep hair treatment...you need to ask product junkie diva...she uses it all the time! i've been trying to get this coconut oil for the longest!MakeupByRenRenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08569862713219774671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681723265121376558.post-67635607703553497962008-11-18T09:18:00.000-05:002008-11-18T09:18:00.000-05:00Good point about the coconut oil. If it's not pretty expensive then you got a bootleg. LOL! Really...OMG, DAX is sooo old skool. Wow, that takes me back.<BR/><BR/>And as for aloe vera gel...hmm, I have some too but I never use it. When I had longer hair I used it to slick back my edges. Hmm, gotta do some research on some other functions of that stuff.<BR/><BR/>And in other news...you've been tagged!
