Wax alternatives?

Is there anything that is water soluble that will not slow down the locking process significantly and will tame frizzies? As I've said before, once I begin the dread process (aug 10th), I want them to look relatively presentable from day one. I've read on here something about aloe.. does this require one to have an entire aloe plant in their home, or is there something I can buy at the store that will achieve the same results without harming my future dreadlets?
:cheers2:

 

YeahI hear aloe came tame frizzies. You can either grow it in your home, or you can just buy it in a bottle from the store....I would make sure it's natural.

 

make sure its 100% pure aloe gel

 

i found some 100% pure aloe gel in holland and barret , but on the tub it said it was for your skin, so i didnt buy it thinkin its not ment for your hair, but is it one of those things u can just put in ur hair anyway????

was kinda like hair gel texture

 

Aloe is usually sold in the health FOOD section, don't buy that neon green crap for sunburns lol!

 

ok so u have to use the aloe that is meant to be eaten and put it on ur hair?????

is that right????

 

aloe is aloe as long as its ONLY aloe

 

The Atmosphere

 

well it said 100% aloe but i cant be as it was a jelly like substance kinda like the clear hair gel u get, aloe doesnt come out of the plant like jelly,

or does it???

should it be a liquid or what,

could someone find some online preferably in the holland and barret website and point out the right one for me, id really apreciate it

thanks

 

yeah it does

 

hay i got stuff fae holland n barr aloe gel says its 99.9% pure i use it and just hope for the best.unfortunatly u cnt grow alo plants in sctoland so i have to use 2nd best the stuff i got is organic too

 

Why can't you grow aloe plants in scotland??

 

just put the plant in a window that gets sun exposure, and forget to water it sept once a week or two depending on the pot. honestly aloe plants are worth having around.

 

"well it said 100% aloe but i cant be as it was a jelly like substance kinda like the clear hair gel u get, aloe doesnt come out of the plant like jelly,"

yeah, it really does, i second the motion. haha. try to surf aloe plant, its a thick plant that holds gel inside, which is called "aloe vera". vera is the latin word for "true"(veracity). which then translates to, literally, true aloe.

 

yeah, aloe is definitely a gel. i need to get me a plant. not for my dreads, as i don't put anything in em cause i don't care about frizzies anymore (no longer have uptight job, lol) but it's really great on burns, and i always seem to be burnin' the shit out of meself!

 

Aloe plants are funny in my home. It was burglarised a couple years ago and among a lot of other things they stole my aloe plant. Also my 4yo son is crazy terrified of aloe.

But anyway, I use a teensy tiny bit of coconut oil. I warm it in my hands and sorta pat it onto my hair.

 

Aloe comes out as a somewhat sticky jelly when you squeeze it out of the plant. I would suggest buying your own aloe plant, that way you know it's 100% and you'll save on buying stuff that might not be.

 

hey dude i live in scotland too, perth tae be precise. thought aboot growing an aloe plant here but it wouldnae live very long im sure.

and i just came on here tae ask aboot where tae get it tae. sounds like ill be poppin doon tae holland n barrets th mora then

 

aloe grows just fine indooes in a sunny window whicch means u can grow it anywhere really its hrdy you can literaly forget to water it for a long time and it'lll be fine
it will survive fine in scottland

 

pretty cool. i didn't know that.
