WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE ALOE VERA LEAVE IN CONDITIONER GEL (Buy from dedicated Homemade Aloe Vera Shampoo & Conditioner Store):

The gel of 1 or 2 whole leaves of Aloe Vera. Aloe vera gel:

is non-toxic

is antibacterial

adds shine to hair

helps to reduce the excess sebum that our scalp secretes. This in turn allows the scalp to breathe and the follicles to renew themselves

brings the pH of the scalp into balance

It contains numerous minerals and vitamins that are renowned for their health giving properties for your hair and body

does not usually cause allergic reactions. I am one of the very rare cases that experience stinging over some sensitive skin areas if contact is prolonged. Although not advisable, I do continue to use it without this problem by rinsing it out thoroughly and promptly when shampooing with aloe vera. I do not know why but, somehow, the gel does not bother me at all when I apply it as a gel on my scalp. Perhaps my scalp is just not that sensitive.

Drops of an oil that meets your specific hair requirements (optional)
A blender
2 containers with lids
A strainer

INSTRUCTIONS:

Without adding water, blend the ingredients until they are uniform. Your conditioner will initially look like a stiff white foam.

Pour the leave in hair conditioner / gel into a container and allow it to stand for in the refrigerator until it becomes a liquid.

Strain the leave in hair conditioner / gel into a new clean container. Be sure NOT to force the gel through the strainer. Discard whatever remains. This is necessary to avoid tiny bits of the pith that look like dandruff when your leave in conditioner / hair gel dries.

After washing and drying your hair, you may apply this leave in hair conditioner / gel on your hair and scalp. For the same effect as commercial mousses or hair gels, apply very generously along the length of your hair until your hair is wet again by the aloe vera gel. To promote healthy hair growth, apply directly to the scalp.

Consider taking aloe vera orally. We will make a post about this soon. Aloe vera is great for internal cleansing. When it cleanses, it not only removes toxins but, in turn, promotes healthier hair (and cleaner skin). Imagine that! You can eat safely your hair conditioner / gel to promote good health!

OBSERVATIONS & RESULTS:

The leave in hair conditioner / gel felt very slippery between my fingers. After applying, it takes a few minutes before drying. However, the shiny gel look remains for the whole day.
