I Love Love Love both coconut oil and aloe vera. I use them both. With coconut oil, I cook, use it on my hair and at times in the winter use it instead of lotion.

What did you use to take out the coconut oil out of the jar(view picture). Where did you buy it?

I should warn people against all products from the "African Gold" line. Especially the "Coconut Oil" conditioner which is really just full of petroleum and coconut perfume.

Hello Wes! "...The only listed ingredient should be coconut oil..." This is a wise guideline to always remember.

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).

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.

Take care.

Aloe Vera gel.
You can get it at Trader joe's for cheaper.
Food grade is always best.
It doesnt have much hold power, so as a styling gel might not work.
I use it as a detangler at night before i twist my hair up. It is EXCELLENT detangler. Better than Knot today, better than leave in conditioner alone.

LOL @ him buying Dax. Poor thing. I guess he meant well.

I'm more used to coconut oil in the liquid form though. Never seen it have a consistency like that. Good post though.

If you make sure the label states the ingredients ...

2008-11-19T16:22:00.000-05:00

If you make sure the label states the ingredients contain Virgin coconut oil. 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.

Lol thats pretty funny, but an understandable mistake. Thats why I've learned to always read those labels!

I remember when my cousin and I were in Barbados in august, we would just go in the backyard of my great aunt's house and cut some of the aloe vera plant and use it on our skin.

2008-11-18T21:24:00.000-05:00

Maybe I got the cheap stuff (I didn't read the ingredients list), but I bought my Aloe Vera Gel from Wal-Mart in the tanning section. 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. Any ideas?

lol @ HBH.. too cute...

What about those you find at a regular grocery store? i saw one for 1.99 bought it..lets just say i don't understand the hype.. maybe because its not cold pressed?

Aloe vera in your spritz bottle... as a daily moisturizer if your hair needs it?

I just found your blog from a link on blogxilla.com and i like what you have here. Especially your review of the Get Em Girls cookbook, i might just go out and by based on what you and the others who commented said.

Ooooh thanks for the clarification, that makes sense...I will be looking out for that. And LOL at 'Honey Brown Hunk' that was cute. Have a nice day!!!!

2008-11-18T12:08:00.001-05:00

As far as the aloe gel, i've seen on several sites a recipe for "shealoe", a mix of shea butter & aloe gel, and Afrobella swears by Aloe's ability to clear breakouts when taken orally. I've never tried either, just passing it along...

@Full Complexity: I was considering using it in some capacity as a part of my 'wash & go' routine... I'm going to look into that... As much as I love Devachan, it's much cheaper to use the AVG!

2008-11-18T11:41:00.000-05:00

In the summer, I used AVG along with Cantu Shea Butter for my wash and go's. 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.

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.

I used it all throughout the summer for my wash and gos and my hair thanked me by growing!!

Hope this helps!

2008-11-18T10:45:00.000-05:00

I got my coconut oil from Whole Body & it's pure. And it was on sale for $8.99.

I've been wanting to get the Aloe Gel also. I know it's used to condition the edges & 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?

2008-11-18T09:34:00.000-05:00

i 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!

2008-11-18T09:18:00.000-05:00

Good 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.

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.

And in other news...you've been tagged! Have a beautiful day!
