    that's all I've ever seen around here too... the stuff they sell in drugstores for sunburns *shrugs* I'm at work right now, but what's the other ingredients in there out of curiosity? Just wondering what the 1 percent is.

    The 1% is usually witch hazel and preservatives. You can purchase aloe vera for oral consumption that is 100% pure.

    they don't look too bad. i use aloe from a bottle. as long as it doesn't have something like alcohol or witch hazel added, it should be ok. or buy a plant.

    thanks :)
    they were literally hangin off by strands. i just weaved the loose hair in using some thread and needle and no, the thread comes out fully, i just use it to attach hair to the needle. basically his loose hair works as a thread for his locks, especially useful when trying to congo some. as for the roots i just backcombed some loose hair a bit and sewed them in the dread. some bigger patches were the birthplace for some new dready babies and i managed to wist and rip them finally.
    finished it off with some aloe and voila

    my bf thinks i should open a salon now. i can be my own lawyer and manager too there :D
