what kind of aloe - also need good detangler
Feb 11^th, 2008 at 10:36pm

[color=#663366][/color] Shocked

New here, but not so new to natural hair care. I had a very traumatic 'shed' about a year ago and now I have all the new growth poking out everywhere!!! I saw the suggestion about using aloe as a gel to hold these pesky things down; however, when I went to the health food store, the only 100% pure aloe was actually aloe vera juice. All of the aloe vera gels had chemicals that I cannot pronounce. So do you actually use real aloe leaves? If so, how do you separate the reddish/brown resin from the actual gel?

Also looking for a good detangler for my little naturebaby who is four, has babyfine hair and turns into a nappy head at nappy time! Aubrey organics has one that is almost all natural, but it does contain PABA which I've read elsewhere is suspect in regards to it's safety. Anyone know of any other truly natural detanglers? Jojoba oil helps but not unless it's enough to turn her into a greasy naturebaby!

Maybe try a different store for more product options. I do not use aloe directly from a plant. You could also try avocado oil, I find it lighter than jojoba. Good luck!

It does contain other ingredients, but they are only for stabilization and shelf life. It has no coloring or scent added and works great at taming those pesky fly-aways.

I also use Fruit of The Earth aloe and have had great success with it. I have a lot of growing-in hair, too, about 3 to 4 inches long and growing out bangs (chin length) so it really does help.

As for the tangling, I find Biolage Conditioning Balm a great help and am considering a clear henna to kind of coat the hair in the hopes that it may smooth the cuticle and thus produce less tangling. I'm still doing research on the clear henna though. Anyone else have any info on this?

It's clear, not green. Wouldn't be able to recommend a natural detangler, though, since I'm an avid cone user and oils have never worked for me.
