    ok so i have major frizzies so bought some aloe gel today

    now it says made with pure aloe which is all fine n dandy but under ingredients it says this:

    acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, panthenol, disodium EDTA, sodium hydroxide, phanoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, benzoic acid


    hmm. is this gonnae be nae good atall? or you think i can let it slide and it will work?

    i tried a little bit in my hair earlier and it didnt seem tae do very much. maybe try some more later and see how that goes

    Aloe Gel is the stuff you put on your skin for bug bites n such.
    The aloe dreadies usually use in thier hair is pure aloe, either from a plant or from the food section of a natural store. 100% pure.

    *edit* Be fuzzy.

    I've never had any decent results from putting aloe, or sea salt etc in my dreads. It's a big waste of time for me.

    aloe works great for me, but it's a temporary fix, so must be done right before you get ready for the day. I just smooth it over the top layer of my dreads. The kind I use doesn't have all those other ingredients though.
