aloe gel

So I've been looking at this place that does dreads and in addition to the backcombing they also palmroll with aloe gel. Is this reccomended or would i be better off have just having them only backcombed??

 

Aloe is generally used to tame frizzies. So if you are looking for a more neat and tidy look use some aloe. Otherwise just backcomb and leave them be.

And if this place charges you anything to make dreads, just get a friend and get them to help you make them. It's easy to do and will save you some cash

 

It wouldn't hurt to try it, it can always be washed out

I personally didn't care for how it made my hair feel but it might work for you

 

yeah, aloe didnt really do anything for me. you can try it, see how it goes.

 

i think aloe is a great alternative to wax.
personally, i use it and my dreads are always neat and tidy

 

dudemz, your dreads look lame az shit. "omg did he just say that?!"

yeah, aloe is for taming frizz for your court date or your brother's wedding. don't overdo it...

 

nifty, i'm eeking so loud i bet you can hear it.

 

mmg you are hilarious
aloe might be good for the first few days when they are extra crazy and fluffy but when they settles down a bit I wouldn't bov. I hated aloe on my hair but I like the big and messy look

 

i palmroll once a week with some aloe. it helps temporarily for frizz and moisturizes.

 

i haven't used aloe in years but yea it works to keep the frizz down like a gel but it does nothing to accelerate the locking process.

 

I never use aloe... I think it detracts from the natural look, makes you look all gobby and gooey

 

dayumn, zilla! you are looking mighty fine in that sig pic!

 

i use aloe vera and palm role mine and clients i find it keeps them neater thru the locking process and some people says it helps the locking process some says it dont but it definitly doesnt hurt
