Diy Natural Hair Styler - Using Your Old Conditioner

Hey Guys!! I used an Aloe leaf/conditioner and a touch of flaxseed gel. Great combo!!!

Hey guys Rachel CPR here today, I just wanted to share something with you that I tried for my hair that I'm really liking. I just tried it out last night and this morning um. These are my curls and I just wanted to share this with you. I hope anyone else is doing this as much as I just thought. I'D share with it with you. Normally, when I am running low on my one conditioner, which is normally what I use in my hair, I will add a little bit of water to the bottom. Shake it up, and then it gets my nice and creamy and frothy, and I use it in my hair and if it's a little bit more thin I'll, just put it in a spray bottle, my user, to refresh my hair. Well then, I started using aloe vera juice instead of water and putting that in there, and I noticed that it was great because it added a little bit more holes on days when I just want to use conditioner as my styler, so that worked out well. So then I decided I was going to make a styler out of it all together and what I did was. I went to the supermarket and I purchased an aloe leaf. It was maybe about 18 inches long, nice and healthy bottom and with the aloe leaf. I took it and I gutted it out, got all of them the aloe out of it, the gel out of it put it into the blender. I blended it up until it was nice and light and frothy and that took about two minutes. And then I took a quarter cup of my diva curl one conditioner and I put it into the mixture and I continued to blend it. And then I added a little bit of my flaxseed Joe, not a lot but just a little bit just to put make that's a little bit of slip and body to the whole concoction, and I love it. I love it so much. The main ingredient in this product is aloe vera, the actual aloe vera plant. There is actually even some of them the outside in there, but it blended down really finely so. It didn't give me a problem, and these are my results. This is my first day yeah. Well I washed my hair last night. Then this is my hair for wearing it out for the first day, and I love how big it is. It has lots of body, big drawback, that I have to try to change with this, which I'm sure I'll be able to fix with a little bit of oil in it is it's flaking, I'm noticing on my shoulders, I'm seeing little flake ease, and I don't like That so, especially I'm going into the fall season, which means I'm about to start wearing my black turtlenecks. I don't want to see flakes on the shows exist. It looks gross, so I am going to try to tweak it by adding some of my oils to it. I didn't have any oils to it, but I did notice to stop the flaking in the long run. What I did was, I just took a little bit of rapeseed oil on my hands and I just ran through my hair with it. I actually did a tiny bit of grapeseed oil before I went to sleep, because when I clean my hair last night, what I did was, I said under the dryer for about 15 minutes, and then I pulled it back a little bit of grapeseed oil on my Hands because it got it got crunchy, but the clenchy completely was gone like right. Now, my hair, it's very, very soft. You can tell that it has a holding product in it, but it doesn't feel like stiff in it. You have lots of bodies, not like you know, stiff or anything like that. It'S very touchable in wonderful, so I'm really really really really liking this. This is like wow, so I'm gon na try it again by just adding some oil, probably coconut in grapeseed oil. I will add to it and see how that works out for next time, and I will definitely keep you posted on how that works and, if you've tried just your aloe vera, getting an aloe vera plant and just using a conditioner with, and how just how you Deal with just the flaky, it wasn't a whole ton after I put the oil on it, but I still don't want to have to deal with any of that flaking, especially not with this season, we're going to do so anyway. I just wanted to share that with you and tell me what you think and if you try and please share it with me - okay, thanks a lot bye, guys

cocoy373: Hey Rachel.  Your hair looks amazing!  Thanks for sharing.

Kinky Curlfriend: Looks good Rachel! I'm thinking you're getting flaking because the aloe pulp is a solid and cannot dissolve completely. I'm going to try this with aloe Vera juice, conditioner & a little of my flaxseed. Sounds like a great combo!

eforward1: Hello ladies, I am LOVING all the good tips & advice. I'm still using my first batch of flaxseed gel I made with some peppermint essential oil added. My problem is the flaking, how do you STOP THE FLAKING of the flaxseed gel? Do you add some oils to it and if so which oils? @rachaelcpr and Pretti Uneekhair

Lovingdeenaturally: ur hair looks great sis!(It always does:-D)  yea I have a really love/very strong dislike for flaxseed and aloe gels b/c of the flaking.  I've tried to alter the recipe to use more water but I still get flaking and I don't like that at all...so I'm interested to see what u come up with to deal with the flaking.  Thanks for sharing ur update ! :-D

lindgal2: Sounds great. Can you do a tutorial/demonstration on your concoction? I would appreciate it.

Pretti Uneekhair: OH HELLO! After blending the real aloe vera leaf didn't you have to strain it? I believe this is why you are seeing the flaking. I do use the Aloe vera leaf and before I can use it I had to strain it twice through a panty hose to get the white pieces out. They are small but they do stick to the hair. Your hair look wonderful.

Karen Alyssa: Thank you for sharing your recipe.  I wish my hair liked aloe but I have yet to find any version of it that works.

Tricia Nicolas: Your hair looks great!

Bran T: Great video. I'm going to wash my hair today after I make some flaxseed gel. For the style in this video did you do it like you did in the wash and go revised video where you pull the hair back and throughout the day shake it and re-clip it?

anitramic: Okay, I have to ask are you still water only washing your hair? I've been doing it for almost a year,YEAH! But I do find that I need to clarify my hair once a week with the Diva Curl No Poo. When I water washing my hair I use aloe juice and a oil mix that I made and then water wash one last time before jumping out of the shower.

Renee Gerloff: I don't think the one condish mixes well with aloe vera gel. I tried that together and got flaking before. Try putting aloe vera gel on your hand and add some condish rub your hands together if it doesn't turn clear and blend and gets super white your going to get flakes

aloe4radiance: Your hair looks Great!!!  Love the results.  Now did the One flake on you ever when used alone?  I notice that even when I use the Aloeba by Jessicurl and mix with the Flaxseed Gel it flakes so I wonder if it is the flaxseed gel? Hard to tell with me as I have low porosity hair.  :/  But if I leave Aloeba in withe no flaxseed Gel it is fine. so I wonder if it is the conditioner left in?

Andra Wongk: I have used aloe as a conditioner and I also had flaking. I strained the aloe after I blended it and I did not have any flaking. Hopefully this will help.

finesweet01: Will try, thx!!
