What'S up kinks, it is nappy food all up on your screen and today is a bad nap like video when you search for aloe vera, natural hair, you see plenty of videos about this wonderful plant, but one thing, even I'm guilty of this too, is not thoroughly Discussing the proper preparation for this healing plant, when is prepped correctly, you can have a very enjoyable experience with it. Well, let's talk about it now. Have you full checking-in, lega, also known as burn plant lily of the desert plants of immortality and elephants? Call this 6,000 year old plant has over 300 species, but the one that we know the one is very popular in the health and beauty world is the aloe barbadensis, okay Obama de cysts. However, you want to say it aloe vera. Now, what is the reason that everyone is so hints ojala vera, everybody from mommy, daddy, cousin uncle grandpa? Well, let's start at the inside. The gel in the juice from the inside has become a very popular herbal remedy that helps to treat anything from skin issues to digestive problems. Okay, this plant has a lot of great vitamins in it. As far as the beauty work go, it helps it helps to hydrate our skin and clear it up. Has vitamin A E e in seven of the eight essential amino acids. Now, that's the part that I really want y'all to know about the side effects it out of there. Okay, now we already said the gel is. It is the best part right, so that part is generally safe. We'Re not worried about that part right there. We worried about what comes in the green part, the leaves known as the aloe latex. It'S that yellow jelly mucus. Looking part, that is the part you want to be like Allah, Allah, hello. Now I've seen some people use the entire leaf and that's the part that makes it be light. Are they not aware of the aloe latex, because that's where the yellow partly lives in in the leaf tea, the green part of it? So when taking internally, you have issues like cramps diarrhea cancer, kidney failure is so much more. So do you before you start. You know that stuff, okay, y'all, not externally, have you ever experienced it. She skin it could because of the a low latex, also known as a Lebanon. Okay. So before you start dismissing the aloe vera plant saying I ain't got time for it, girl, let's get that yellow stuff out and you be a-ok. I assume all right. So here we are on. The first thing you always want to do with your leave is a standard standard. This has nothing to do with the element part. You want to always clean this sucker. Okay, you can wear your gloves to protect it from these little riches. I heard little spikey-wikey bees you get spiked by one of these. It hurts a little bit ain't gon na live. So if you know you just not about their life, wear them gloves alright. So I did pull out a brand new sponge for this part, but I do have a confession: a lot of times the sponge I'm using to clean my dishes, either saying when I used to clean this to Angola, Angola, I pulled out a whole new one for Just for the aesthetics of this video but he'll, so I'm cleaning it, I think best practice is to use a whole new sponge. So I'm just gon na encourage that alright, it's shiny and new, new and shiny, and now it's ready to be demolished. Okay, so one rule of thumb that I was taught is that you want to cut everything above everything in the white part, everything below the white, keep it use it. My new breed's, whatever you want to do everything below the white cut seeds, let it go let it go okay anyway, so I'm gon na cut this sucker very gently. I'M not sure why I'm holding it like that, but it's kind of weird and let it go and then there's yelling there. You might feel compelled to grab that, but let it go - and this is the part we definitely want to. Let go this yellow highlighter, mucus. Eg wookie to keep a looky this ain't, your best friend you not invited to the cookout member of the hallow team right here - we're gon na have to let this one go. It'S dragging the team. That kind of me stop y'all, sorry, but yeah. This is the part that could possibly could be causing it. She'S got for some of y'all. You know if you in happen to include any of this in there. So this is what I like to do. Cleaning option number one now. This first option is very, very simple, very straightforward: even a caveman can do it. Okay, sorry anyway, I'm gon na take a container. This container is actually from a Thai restaurant. No Vietnamese restaurant have you ever ordered to your house. That'S the container. Broad comes in okay, so nothing special, just some regular tap water to start us up in there and, as you can see, it fits perfectly with my aloe vera leaf and I put it into that container and I let it drain upside up. That'S it upside! I let the second rain now what was recommended is for at least 30 minutes me being Who I am. I go 24 hours I go. The very next day is when I will use this. So if it's not fully 24 hours, it's definitely more than thirty minutes. I let it set like that: okay, 24 hours later is when I'll come back and clean it only when I come back and use it. Okay, one reason I started the whole 24 hours from because I was doing when I went and call it a day, because this is it after an hour y'all after one hour. This is how my water is looking, so I figure you know. Well, let me just be extra extra safe and I just started doing it for 24 because I feel like if this was coming out after an hour. I can only imagine that the rest will be out by 24 hours right. So let me go ahead and restart this and again I like before 24, but as you can see after one hour, you get quite a bit that comes out so pick your time that works for you and stick to it. Speaking of sticking to can we stick together: okay, join team kinks at the subscription button and notifications. Alright next says you are notified that next time, I'm on the phone your screen. Thank you. Now I want to go into cleaner option number two. Once again, your girl is extra. I actually do both of these options. Cuz, I just you know just want to make sure I'd. Be careful careful, you know saying, might be too much for some of y'all, which is fine, I'm sure number two. You can actually just start with you really. Could I really could just do option number two in color day, but I wouldn't be myself. If I did something like that's, I must do the extra alright, so I'm cutting off the part. I don't need what you see me shaving off right now, the shaving off the throwing part it's the section. I am going to use okay. So after I do that now, let me show you a real quick after I did the first option and drained it for like 24 hours. This is how much yellow stuff that well alone in came off now remember the first time I did this. It was quite a bit now only anything, but there's still something there right and I wanted to go. My body got must go sorry anyway. Okay, alright cut it up into smaller sections notice, I'm chopping it up. Okay, I'm chopping it like little cylinders and I'm placing it upside up again. There goes my water, I'm gon na put the water in there again make sure it's upside up and let it drain once again. And yes, as you know, I don't do just one 30 minutes. I go 24, the remaining that I'm not gon na use these. You see, I just fold it up alright 24 hours later technically 48 hours later. Finally, it is ready. Okay, sorry Yahoo. I don't know how y'all do with me. Alright, look at the water a little bit of yellow dust left over that's! What'S in it, that's why I like the water option. I can see the yellow come out. You can do this without any water. Y'All y'all can drain it without any water, but it just looks so much. You know better when you have the water, you can see it. I just like to see it. I guess now, let's go ahead and get into the you know mouse. We just do the whole thing right, so here we go with the blending method that I use again is what works best for me, not painful into the air to the PBY fu, but I'm not really cursing about okay. So when it comes to blending it, of course, you know just get yourself a little blender. The one I use, I think, is bright austero, one of them people. You know nothing major. It is a 900 watt blender. I do like these, maybe because of my smoothies, not really for like hair products, like that, you know I, like the pillar with my fingers. I don't know, I think when I soak it, it makes the leaf even easier to take off. So I don't need to use a knife. I just use my thumbs or my nail bed yeah. As you can see, and I think sli's like a bit. Oh, come on sliding right off, come on yeah you almost there yeah, okay, sliding yep. There we go okay, so yeah, it comes comes right on off of there, so yeah I'll, just peel the lead as you see fit as you are comfortable doing um. I do like the way that I do it just something about that. Louie Dewie feels good in your fingers. They don't know just something about it. I don't know sorry. My these leftover leaves because I know this Allanon leftover. I feel even more comfortable using it on my face. So now here we go when it comes to blending up the Jill. I don't like just to hit blend and let it flow actually do the pulse option, so I'm consistently pressing it. You know one at a time like, like natural 85 says it's almost like you're poking little holes in it. Let me become more gel like more slimy. If you will don't go overboard, I Chi be okay, I don't want it to become watery. I wanted to keep that gel form as long as possible, so the more foamy it is no better to me now here we are straining now. This is the part that we know is a headache when it's not strained. Well, what happens Tim cakes? What happens you get all this white crap in your hair and then you know as kinky hair girls. That is like a nightmare okay. So I found this item that has taken care of all of that. For me, it has changed my life. Can I give a testimony real quick? I have used the nehi option. I have used a regular strainer, but nothing gets the pulp out like this beauty right here. It is known as the milk bag y'all a milk bag people use when they want to make their own almond milk or cashew milk. Any type of nut milk is a nut milk bag. This sucker strains my gel, whether it's flexi, whether it's the aloe vera, gel, whether I'm making a DIY kit conditioner and I'm using avocado in it all those things that will leave particles in your hair, if not strained right. This gives it note like this shows those things know what matters see: no mercy. Okay, so, as you can see I'll just pour it right in there and like you, will with the knee-high or anything else drain it just drain it on out squeeze it on now and y'all, I'm telling you I do this twice, but really one time is cool, But of course you know in true nappy food form, I got ta be extra, so I do it more than one time. Okay, so that's the first time I pour it back into my own Bowl or into my container my splendid blender cup, and then I pour it into these bag again, as you can see, and just drain it one more time, one more time, this VXR shirt and After all of that look look how much put let all of that all that would have been inside of contour disrespectful, but the milk bag said not today, not tomorrow and not ever it gets it all out all right and that's it y'all. I put in my little applicator bottle: okay and we just won't get y'all playing. So yes, y'all, don't sleep on these unconventional ways. I would not have thought about the milk bag. I was just on Amazon. I saw, and I said, let me give this a try. It has changed my life. Thank you. Thank you, God why'd. He do it okay anyway. So again, this is washable. It is reusable. I do have a link to the one that I use in the description box, so check it out, kings, alright, and now it is time to apply this pulp-free okay out of there treatment now, keep in mind that this is a treatment y'all. I know for relatability some people in their videos, they call it a pre-poo, but it's really a. I mean it's a step. You do before pre boo, but it's not your pre-poo, as in it can't replace the step of the oil. In the beginning, I've showed y'all the oil I was still going to use for the pre pre pre pre cooling, but the aloe vera is a pretreatment. It'S definitely something that treats your hair prior to shampooing, but aloe vera. This step, you can actually do anytime. You can do it after you wash before you wash during your watch. However, you want so yeah. It'S more of a pretreatment just want to kind of make that clear. Pre-Poo will qualify as a pre-poo. Technically, isn't oil oil that penetrates to the hair shaft and protects it from what we call hydro fatigue? I have many videos about this and make sure you check out my playlist. I'M gon na put a link in the description box and in the right-hand corner so make sure you check it out. Yeah just work that sucker. I definitely focus it towards the scalp quite a bit and then I'll take it down my kinks okay doing this over time consistently. I personally have not been as consistent as I should be. You know. Sometimes you just don't practice what you preach, but just shoot it right anywho. So after all of that, you know plastic bag it up. I let the plastic bag be in my head for a couple of hours and after that I took it off at night and let the whole treatment just sit overnight. I started off with six ounces and I ended up using a total of three ounces, and now we have come to the NAP chat question of the day. Do you use aloe vera gel or juice in your regimen? If so, let us know how it has helped. Your natural hair journey, I also want to know to those who do use aloe vera.

SBiie226: How long can we keep the aloe vera in the container?

Sanya Tonisha: The cleaning aspect was very eye opening. I had no idea there was a yellow substance within the leaf that could cause issues. That may have been the reason why I experienced itchiness years ago and subsequently stopped using it for awhile. However, I've currently been using aloe vera juice for my scalp & dreadlocks for the past 5 or 6 months. It's been life changing! It definitely clears up all scalp issues for me, lessens the amount of oils I use, and keeps my dreads from turning into a group of crispy strands...lol! Thanks for this great video!

MrsW Clarke: Wow you're the first youtuber to ever show us how to SAFELY USE aloe vera... wow... I'm so impressed... good looking out.. Thank you

J Johnson: Hey NappyFu, greetings from Jamaica. I am blessed to have a lot of aloe vera plant in my yard. I used to blend and drink aloe vera but never used it on my hair until a couple years ago when I came across your videos, and I must say my hair took off growing like crazy, and is very healthy. Anyway, this is how I prepare the aloe vera. I always cut the aloe leaf and allow it to drain for about an hour or so to get rid of the yellow juice. After which, I clean the leaf, cut off the thorny parts then slice the leaf into sections and place the pieces into a bowl of clean water for a few hours. I find that this get rid of the rest of the yellow slime. Next, I cut the gel away from the green outer skin with a knife. I then blend the thick gel pieces and strain the juice through a stocking foot three times to make sure that I don't leave any of the fiber in the gel. My last step is sectioning my hair and saturate my hair with the gel and olive oil then cover my head with a plastic bag to pre-poo my hair over night. By the way, I also use the aloe juice mixed with water , essential oils, and other oils as a moisturizer which I keep in my fridge for several weeks. I also freeze some for further use. This has worked for me and has never spoiled.

Isa Virtual: I’m a Aloe Vera obsessed! Since I started using the gel, I never stopped. It really helped my hair to be more healthier and soft, that’s why I’m so crazy about it lol. Btw thank you so much for this whole tutorial, I never knew what was causing the itching, it was very very helpful. You’re always such a source of information, I really appreciate that. Much love xx

Reequanza Fremont: I have been using aloe vera for about 3 years as a pre poo, it has really helped my hair grow, but have never known about this cleaning method or that it was necessary so thank you for making this video. I can't believe this video only has 4k likes. Your videos are always so helpful and don't get the recognition it deserves being a true 4c woman.

Zhanica Arrindell: This was SUPER informative. You are literally one of the best natural hair youtubers ever

miniminott48: And this is why you, NappyFu, will always be all up on my screen. Quality, knowledge-based content, abundant/fun personality and caring, beautiful spirit. Your tips work for all curly hair types.

Jesse Foyster: Yayyy the natural hair videos are back!!! No one can compare to you when it comes to spitting that KNOWLEDGE!! So informative and so fun at the same time, thanks for the bomb content

ThePltsweet: I've been using aloe for over a year on my hair and let me tell you! It has made such a huge difference for me! I use it as a leave in/ detangler. Better than anything else out there. I've been wanting to use it orally but scared of the side effects i've read about. I also din't know the yellow stuff causes itching. Plus i don't normally soak mine cuz ain't nobody got time for that( wait now we actually do thanks to Covid quarantine) lol.

Undeniable Dopeness: Unfortunately I had to learn this the hard way, my scalp was so itchy and ever since then I've been reluctant to use it again Everybody raves about using aloe vera but nobody talks about the latex poison So thank you for being very thorough and informative on the topic and putting me on because I definitely learned something new I'll definitely be trying aloe again but using this method beforehand.

NeeN: I've learned sooo much from you!!! I'm in love with my kinky coily strands again!!! Keep dropping these videos Queen, I'm appreciating ALL of the knowledge sis!! #NappyFu

lorelei lorelei: Thanks you very much for this very instructive video. And yes , you are one of the few who is taking the time to explain in a very simple way , things that no big youtubers "specialized in black hair" don't ever bother to do. And I thank you for that!

J K: girl, im white af but I follow your tips and tricks for loving my hair more. This is the best thing i could have ever come across . Thank you thank you thank you

shenika burke: You are really inspirational. I just incorporated aloe Vera gel into my wash day routine and I followed your method of soaking it for 48 hours and it has done wonders. Keep up the good job ❤️❤️❤️

Danielle Huggins: Nappy Fu you are indeed extra and awesome lol. The 3rd and easiest option for those who may want a faster way is to simply peel the skin off, put the gel itself in some water and wash until the gel does not have any aloin, which takes about 30 seconds and it’s perfectly safe after that. The aloin or (bitter sap as otherwise known) has been used and is still used today medicinally as a laxative in many products and also naturally.

Kenni Latrice: I haven't used Aloe vera from the plant. But I have bought the juice and the gel, and I can testify that the gel helps a ton with detangling and juice help keep my hair moisturized before and after styling. Both staples for me. But thank you for the video as I do have thoughts and plans about using the plant. The content was helpful and useful!

Jess Hodge: I've just started using it when I have time to deal with the plant. It's awesome and the best to do after taking down a long term protective style, especially if you have scalp issues.

Brenda Bendigo: Your info was helpful. I will definitely get that milk bag. I started using alovera in the month of April this year during the lockdown and it's amazing. I do the alovera living and the oil. I also, using on my body & face and make drinks. I remember when I was 8th growing up in Panama, my grandmother used to put this on my thumb finger for me not to suck on it

Aleaha Quiñones: Thank You!! I love that you shared this step, not many know about it. I love aloe, it has so much slip and is a great detangler for coily girls. I mix it in a refresher/hydrating/detangling spray. It makes great hair and face masques, toners, gels, skin treatments.......LOVE ALOE!!

MARTHA LOGIE: I have suffered hair breakage all my life. then I moved to the Caribbean from the UK where Aloe vera grows wild, so I potted some and use it on a regular basis and for the first tie in my life I have healthy shoulder-length natural hair. AMAZING!! It works like a dream. My hair stopped breaking, it's soft and I love it. I wish I have discovered it many years ago If anyone is hesitation DON'T!!/

Sandi F: I just made a "daily" spray yesterday but I never knew about that yellow stuff... I'll soak it next time. I added olive, castor, vit e and black seed oils, msm and essential oil.

YOUVONDA ROBINSON-JASPER: Thank you so much for this informative video!! I am new to this natural hair journey and as you stated there are so many different videos and topics surrounding the use of aloe vera and you did an awesome job at explaining the do's and don'ts. I did have a few questions though. Do you apply this on your hair in a dry or wet state? Can this be used as a base for a leave-in conditioner and mix it with my fave oils? Thank you again

Eryka Kane: My first time watching and I absolutely loved how you kept me laughing but informed me at the same time

JLens the Director: My God I never met a woman with my personality too!! I found out about the healing properties but this prep was NEVER mentioned by those talking so much about it. You are beyond entertaining, your informative and spontaneous. I couldn't tell what you were gonna do or say next and I loved it all!! I'll be looking for more of you and educate myself on your history in YouTube!

Sara Helton: Thank you for this!! *NO ONE* talks about the negative side if not prepped properly!!! You’re the only one!!! We are all so excited to jump into any new natural remedies we don’t stop and look for any negatives. “It’s natural so it’s safe!” Um, no. So, THANK YOU LOVE!! New sub.

Anita De La Cruz: Thank you for teaching about the precautions to take. I didn't know that! I have used alovera juice bought from the pharmacy to hydrate my hair and it helped with edge growth. I have my first aloe leaf and because of you, I am ready to make my own gel! Thanks!

Celene Senhouse: thanks so much for such a thorough tutorial. You're the only youtuber I've seen thus far talk about the latex, draining, etc. Cuz the itch on my skin from aloe was so bad. I didn't realise what was causing it until I did the research about the latex. I'll definitely be using aloe more in my hair and on my skin going forward.

Kenya Rivera: My scalp randomly started getting these itchy scabs. So I’ve been using aloe on my scalp and I haven’t had any scabs, or itching. My scalp feels really good!!

hip hop fiend: Thank you queen! I have a daughter and I'm trying to search for natural ways to help her hair health. Trying to stop her from relying on jam and weave so much. This video was very helpful but I do have a question. Will aloe vera help with hair length, or do you recommend another natural process for that? Thank you whether or not you see my question!

Cynthia: I started using the gel on my daughters hair and I love it... I’m going to try it on mine this weekend

Skin I'm In: New here. I've always known about the Aloe poison. But your 48hour method is new to me. The difference in the water from day 1 to 2 was noticeable. Out here saving lives. Thank you!

Nelle: Yes I do use it in my hair on a regular. Today was helpful because I make milk and I recently considered using it to strain the aloe. Seeing you use it today confirms already that it will work. You’re the best! Thank you!

Kay Jones: I just started using aloe vera plant one thing I noticed when I kept it for about a week it turned purple/pink. I got rid of it. You have to use it within a few days. I love how moisturizing it is I add it to my conditioner as well. Happy Easter

Ada Mbata: Yes. I love the detangling for my 4c hair that's high porosity with thin stands and yes it's been informative.

Jacky Jack: Notes: Soak whole leaf in water for 24 hours then cut into squares (without the sharp edges) and soak in water for another 24 hours. Plan B: Some people cut it into squares and soak for at least 30 mins. If you’re allergic to latex soak longer. Buy nut milk bag to drain gel. I love my nut bag.

SuperMom Chef: I never knew this & we use Aloe for everything! I put it in my smoothies. But I'm going to start incorporating it in beauty products for my business, so this was EXTREMELY helpful.

Ziona Arik: I use it to detangle me hair on wash day, it gives me great slip.. basically it’s a pre-poo for me ❤️

JK Samuel: The Aloe gel helps with the dryness on my scalp. I want to say that it attributes to my hairline growing and not breaking as well. I know that the yellow substance makes me itchy. Thanks for sharing about cleaning out the poison.

Daphnee Momperousse: Thanks for this video. I love using aloe. How long do you save the unused portion in the refrigerator? I have been trying to use the whole plant each time because I don't want it to "spoil." (I use it as a skin treatment.) Do you have to put it in water at all or just wrapped with the foil? Is it better to wrap in foil or plastic wrap? Thanks again!!

Sharon Denise: Nappyfu, thanks for the informative vid. I take a lot of meds for medical reasons, and the last thing I need is more poison in my body. I was getting ready to do my treatment today with the AV leaf and your vid popped up! Thank you Jesus! I would've been one itchy sister

Lisa Jackson: Definitely will be washing my aloe vera like this from now on, hopefully this will help with the itching that I experience around my neck when it runs down but overall I love aloe vera and have seen my hair get stronger and healthier. ♥️

Beauty In4C: Very helpful&insightful..just done fresh aloevera gel treatment for the second time yesterday and i really enjoyed using it!i have not skipped my prepoo step i apply the oil on the scalp and hair by tapping motion with medium twists in then undo them as i apply the aloevera to the individual twists then detangle.

Galaxy Galaxies: My girl. THANK YOU. I am watching different videos about using aloe vera for your hair but no one shows or even talks about removing the poison( YELLOW part). I drink aloe vera once in a while and I was taught to remove the YELLOW (poison). Thank you for showing this.

Alice Woolstencroft: Love this video, when would I freeze the aloe? In leaf form after chopped and cleaned? Or once I’ve made the gel? Also can you go in with oil on top for pre poo or before the aloe and let sit over night? You are the best natural hair YouTuber! Xx

Zadie Marr: I swear by aloe vera. I esp love how it's a power plant that can be used externally both for (skin, if you got acne and hair, for growth) + internally (good for your liver).. It is a MUST have when it comes to my hair as it moisturizes my mane (softens and defines) + gives the perfect slip for when I'm about to detangle.

Lady Ewo: I have always used bottled Aloe vera juice and it keeps my hair moisturized for a long time. I just purchased an aloe leaf to use for the first time. This video helped me to know how to prep and use it for my upcoming wash day.

thomasina allen: My daughter uses Aloe Vera on my hair and I'm please with treatment. It makes my hair very soft. I have 4b/4c hair

kacewill: I've been struggling with when in my wash day routine to use it and finally settled on using it in between my shampoo and conditioner. I leave it on for an hour or so and then rinse with medium warm/tepid water. Then I apply conditioner for three to five minutes then rinse again. My final rinse starts with medium warm water and gradually transitions to as cold as I feel like tolerating. Seems to be working. I'm enjoying silky shiny results. I'm looking forward to some length retention as well hopefully. Tfs your techniques on removing the irritants. Very informative.

Olives Johnson: So detailed and informative.. love it x

Pamela McQueen: Very informative! I just love you and the way you present the info is great and definitely entertaining. Video is not long and drawn out... you get right into it. Love the laughter. Great job ❤ I'm going to try this. I have 4CCC kinks, naps, and knots, lol.

Brittaney C: This was so helpful and I'm soooo happy i watched it before preparing my aloe vera treatment today thank you again so informative and truly appreciated!!!!

Stephanie Shaffer: Did my first aloe vera treatment yesterday. No blender but I squeezed that aloe real good and stranded it twice with a stocking cap. It smells good this morning.

MelaninGurl: I started using aloe Vera in my regimen last week based off of your previous video . I was inspired to try it &. I think I’m going to continue to use it . I use the aloe on my scalp then I follow up with EVOO on my strands &. Let it sit overnight then begin my wash day

Teri T: Is the yellow through out, or just at the bottom? Because I never noticed it and I always cut from the top, never really getting to the bottom. Now I'm scared because I just used some with some oils to make a moisturizer/ detangler. My scalp feels fine but I hope it doesn't damage it in the long run. I will be soaking mine from now on.

Kimya Rascoe: Thank you for this video! I used the aloe leaf blended along with msm, castor and a few drops of peppermint oil on 4/4/20 and my scalp is highly irritated in certain areas. I will start from scratch with my regimen, aloe only and try your recommendation!

Soffy’s Cooking Corner: Wonderful info sis I love your humor!!! This is great info. I watched to the end!!! I love your honesty!!! Today’s video was very helpful to me!!!! I used Aloe but you opened my eyes . Thank you sooooo much!!!!! I love that!!! To have healthy hair; you gotta do healthy things!!!!

Serenity: Absolutely helpful, thank you. Before vid was finished I'd ordered 2 nut milk bags off Ebay (Aus). Although I knew the aloe yellow latex aloin was it be avoided, I had not been soaking it with it standing up, so that was a really awesome tip! Subscribed, thank you again.

sureyawright: I’m so glad I saw this, I got some aloe for my skin and didn’t know there was poison in it. Good to know, thanks!

Just Growth Bbe with Zethu Zwane: hey NappyFu!!! Love your channel. I want to ask about keeping a protective style for 5 months. What are your thoughts on using this method to grow your hair

Terrie Williams: You told the truth about them nut bags. I ordered two from Amazon and they are the truth with straining all my diy hair stuff that I make. I used to aloe powder 20x also. Both the fresh and powder imparts moisture to my high porosity, fine, thin 4c/4b hair and it's a styler for my hair too.

Valerie Nelson: I’m actually on a aloe vera challenge right now! I made an aloe vera leave in and oil! Can’t wait for the results!

Hailey Moreira: This is my first time on your channel, first video I’ve seen by you, and I had to subscribe. Your personality makes this a whole experience. I love it here.

Ebony Cook: Thank you so much! I have been using aloe vera on my girls as well as my hair for about a year now and this is my first time knowing about the yellow stuff that comes out of it. I do appreciate you showing that right there I'm going to start doing that more often

Dayleeyah Kalonji: Love Aloe Vera, it heals my scalp issues. It's perfection because it cleanses/heals/moisturizes.

Mirna Flores: Yes this video definitely helped me how to use aloe vera. Cuz the last time I use that my head was itching I put it on my skin and it was itching too. I have very sensitive skin. And it also left flakes on my hair. But now I know what to do thanks to your video. Thank you.

Juliana Outen: First, very informative video. I haven't used a fresh aloe leaf before, but who knows what the future holds. Now I know what to do and look for. Second, I LOVE the Wedding Party movie. I got my parents to watch it with me last night and they enjoyed it too.

ChocolateRose34: Omg I am so happy I came across you. I am natural and the struggle has been so real lately. Great video!

Cassina S: I use aloe juice before I wash and I've seen less shedding as a result

curly curl: This video is literally JUST in time ! I have my plants draining and not even a minute in I see all this smelly yellow gunk in the bowl

Rene Pena: Thank you! You’re right, no one is showing/explaining the whole process

Jane F.: Thank you so much for sharing how to clean the aloe first I just would cut it and apply it to my scalp and it was itching so bad but now I know why…I will certainly do it this way from now on❤️

Tammy Kelly: Yes aloe vera is a booster for my hair. I have very kinky hair and sometimes it becomes unmanageable. Adding the aloe vera on my wash day and occasionally during the week helps my hair.

Yolanda Vang: Lol! Youre hilarious!! Love your vibe and energy!! Had me giggling over here Such insightful information! Learned something new and can't wait to share this!!! As well as using this for my dried out bleached asian hair lol.

Abony Nolen: I ALWAYS learn something new with your videos. You are very helpful. I appreciate all that you do. I bought an aloe vera leaf some time ago but did not know how to prep it. I never used it on me....lol. I ended up throwing the part I didn't use away. So now I know how to prep it before use. Thank you!

Lisa Scott: Yes this was helpful. Did not know about the down side of aloe vera use. God bless you!

Sheila James: I Just found you although my daughter has been following you for years... I’m about to try your aloe Vera method! Thanks for showing us how to extract the yellow stuff, and stain it properly.

ashleigh thompson: Girl, you are hilarious!! Just goofy, just like me. So glad I found you!

igbani Liz: The video is great. I use aloe vera for many purposes. For natural hair, I use it as a prepoo, I make my own black soap shampoo and aloe vera isa major ingredient. I add it to my deep conditioners whether store bought or DIY. I also add it to my leave in conditioner. It's a staple in my regimen. It has worked very well for me. It's one thing I can't do without as a natural hair person.

Vanessa G: Really entertaining and informative

Mari Good: You're so very helpful with this info. Like you said there's so many videos about Aloe Vera but you discussing the poison in it is a must know. You are golden!

Sharlon Solome: I followed your tutorial to prep the aloe vera leaf, along side MAZZ Naturals tutorial for making a leave conditioner spray. Thanks for sharing this very informative video

Rani B: Thank you wish I seen this before before I made my aloe shampoo yesterday it’s itchy on my skin though and I told my daughters no one tells you anything about the itching so when I make my next bottle of shampoo I will definitely do this first! Thanks again

V. S.: Thank you so much for the info, I just starting using the aloe leaf for about, i think 3 weeks. N I do go through the itchy scalp and my right hand usually breaks out. So I am definitely going to do this cleaning method! Thank you so much #NeverWouldHaveKnown!!❤

Pat Tang: I usually leave my aloe to drain before use but noticed that my fingers itch when peeling it. I will definitely use your method going forward. Thank you doll ☺️❤️

🇿🇦Sivuyisiwe_: Thank you so much You helped me so much Aloe vera grows wildly and naturally where I live & its hardly sold cause its everywhere but I had issues with itchness & how to soak it before use so you helped me ❤️

J M: Thank you for this one! The first time I used fresh aloe I read something about that yellow goo (i know that's not what it was called). However, she didn't break it down, and explain like you did. Again, thank you so much!

Sweet Pea😚: Between your personality and admitting u use the sponge for the dishes (like me also) had me rolling. The video was amazing and u taught me alot of things I didnt know about aloe. Thank u sister. Keep those video coming.

Cynthia Taylor: I've started for about a month now. I see the difference in my hair. I have a tension spot at the top of my head. The hair is starting to come back (very bald, slick bald) The aloe vera really helped heal my scape 1st, then it started growing. I am going to take a picture and look for the difference by Christmas and the New Year.

Tabitha Howard: Definitely gonna do this once the leaves of my plant get bigger!

Elizabeth Monique: After getting all this info I'm definitely going to start using aloe CORRECTLY

Stephany: this was helpful and entertaining, i love your energy :)

Zoelle's World: I've never tried aloe vera from the leaf, but now I'm not sure how I lived without it. Definitely getting a leaf tomorrow to get my treatment ready for my next wash day.

Latanya Latisha Grant: First long video I actually watch and enjoy!! Love her energ I usually use Aloe vera but I didn’t know that yellow part was dangerous.Thank you so much.Definitely joining the family

Nellcia Dick: Love the way you present this presentation thanks alot for re enter tips like momie taught us. Go on girl let us see it ☺️

Jennifer B.: Thank you for the information. I used the aloe vera to treat my hair and got very good results. I decided to discontinue it because it caused my scalp to itch. Because of you my dear, and your very informative video I now know why!! Thank you! (I am deeply indebted to you for being so thorough + detailed)

MauliAnna Andre: Very helpful. I don't use it consistently but when I have itchy scalp, I use it.

Liz Kollie: I make an aloe vera oil mix with coconut oil. I do wash it but I don't soak it. I'll definitely be soak it before I use it ☺️ Thank you!

Maiya Jones: I 've added aloe Vera juice to the water I use to style my hair. I've also used aloe vera gel (bought from Amazon) that I add to my hair before any leave in conditioner, styler, etc.

vee.: I washed the outside of my aloe plant for 12 outside. After that I socked the inside (gel) and socked it then used it on my hair but that still caused rashes on my forehead, side of my face, neck and shoulders. They itch soo bad but my hair loved it.
