BaxtersMom Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Atleast once a week I take Baxter to the shower with me to give him a real good soaking. After he is soaked I spray him down real good with the Aloe Vera juice to help his skin out. They make his feathers so pretty and soft. Today after doing this to him I thought Why not try it on my hair and see what it does???:woohoo: I sprayed it directly on my freshly shampooed and conditioned hair and styled as usually. My hair has never been so soft and shiney. I love it!!! My hair is very thick and very coarse I have to use something to make it more managable. I always use a good conditioner but today I found out that Aloe Vera is better than any condition I have used yet!!! I have not tried it spraying without using the conditioner yet. All I know is this is the softest my hair has ever been. I will do this regularly now. Just thought I would share that with everyone cuz I was really amazed with the results. Has anyone else tried it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaxtersMom Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I read somewhere on the forum that Dave didn't have any hair:laugh: Seriously, tho, the aloe vera worked Fanstastic for me. Let me know what you think when you try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I think I'll spray Aloe on my wifes hair when she's not looking and see how it turns out. ;-) If it goes well, I may try it..... If I'm still alive :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaMary Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I have also sprayed myself (skin - not hair) with aloe vera after spryaing Maxi with it. I actually started doing it because she still really HATES that spray bottle, and I wanted to show her that it was really harmless and I'd spray myself with it, too. Of course, it turned out it was also good for my skin. I had a bang-up case of poison ivy in October - occupational hazard for me - and I swear the aloe vera sped up the healing. I also know it works very well on burns - I used to keep a plant around and use the "sap" if I burned myself in the kitchen. Maybe I'll try it on my hair now, too - I never thought of that for some reason. Thanks Erika! Now if only I could convince Maxi that spray bottle is okay - she still doesn't like it...

BaxtersMom Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Thanks for letting us know about it working on the skin. I'm going to try that, too. I was going to ask if any body tried it any other ways but forgot. I used to keep the aloe vera plants around too for burns but haven't had one in awhile. And Dan, here's what you could do so your wife will try it...get a decorative spray bottle or write your own label as "Ever So Soft Hair Care" or something like that:laugh: . Put the aloe vera in it and give it to her as a gift. She will be so touched you would not be in the dog house at all but in good standings for awhile:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I have started to use it as hand cream (the gel ) cause george talons are still bit sharp and it helps soothe it a bit ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
