Okay, so, I’ve been trying out this new thing for my hair – styling gel made with aloe vera. It’s been, you know, a bit of a journey, so I figured I’d share what I’ve been up to.
First off, I got this WOW Skin Science 99% Pure Aloe Vera Gel. I saw it has pure aloe vera, and thought why not give it a try? I used to use another styling gel I bought, it works, but I just wanted to see if I could change my styling gel to a better one.
Then, I washed my hair. Just regular shampoo and conditioner, nothing fancy. Towel-dried it until it’s just damp, you know, not dripping wet. It is important to make sure your hair is clean and dry, or you will not get the best result of the gel.
Now, here’s where the fun starts. I took a bit of that aloe vera gel – and I mean just a little, like a small dollop – and rubbed it between my hands. I started applying it to my hair, focusing on the areas where I wanted a bit more hold. It felt a little sticky at first, but it distributed pretty evenly. And since my hair’s a bit on the curly side, I made sure to scrunch it a bit to get those curls defined. Then I tried to apply it on my wet hair, and the result is pretty good, my hair looks more defined.
After that, I just let my hair air dry. I heard some people use a blow dryer, but I’m more of a let-nature-do-its-thing kind of guy. It took a while, but hey, good things take time, right?
Once it’s all dry, I checked it out in the mirror. Not bad, not bad at all. My hair had this nice, natural hold to it. It wasn’t stiff or crunchy like with some other gels I’ve tried, and I used to use the Xiomara Professional Hair Styling Gel. It’s okay, but this aloe vera thing seemed more… chill. Plus, I noticed my hair had a bit of a shine to it, which was a nice bonus.
But it’s not just about the looks. I also noticed my hair felt softer, kind of like it got a mini spa treatment or something. I guess that’s the aloe vera doing its magic.
- What I liked:
- Natural hold, not stiff
- Added a bit of shine
- Hair felt softer
- What I’m still figuring out:
- The exact amount of gel to use
- If I should try it with a blow dryer sometime
So, that’s my little experiment with aloe vera hair gel. It’s been pretty cool so far, and I think I’ll keep using it for a while. If you’re looking for something new to try for your hair, maybe give this a shot. It’s definitely a different vibe from regular styling gels. And hey, if you’ve tried it too, let me know how it went for you!
Conclusion
Using this gel with aloe vera was a good experience for me. My hair is soft and shiny. I will continue to use it. This is a good product to try!
