FYI bentonite clay is actually very drying/ is not good for your hairs PH and also has the same chemical reaction with your hair as a straightener. Infact it’s so drying it’s used in my other profession to pull out unwanted ink during permanent makeup or tattoos just by placing it over the area due to its ability to pull out moisture and oils Ect. Over time it can damage your hair just as any chemical straightener does so be mindful. I highly dont recommend it for hair but if you do ad vinegar to change the ph so it doesn’t harm your hair. Other than that great recipe. ( disclaimer hairstylist for almost 20 years and know from experience. And also a perm makeup/ tattoo artist ( 8 years) Also many naturals have damaged their hair terribly with it not knowing it is chemically altering your hair.
Your Surgery Sister wow I always hear the opposite about how it’s pH balancing. And I never knew that about it being used for tattoo removal. I’m sure only for the thinner layers of skin, but does it actually fade the tattoos? Or is it only used to prep/cleanse the area?
Anisah Israel well tattoos only go 16th of an inch in the skin. And permanent makeup only goes into the epidermis anyway. And it’s properties actually draw fluid out. Which is why it works so great in your skin for masks but has to be used with apple cider vinegar to balance out the PH. If used treat it as a relaxer and only use it every 6-8 weeks on new growth. And always use a neutralizing shampoo or a neutralizer. Treat it as a chemical process. Hope this helped sis. Everything else she shared was awesome. Just wanted to be helpful. Not shade in anyway.
Today I was going to blend aloe vera for my pre poo and I just happened to stumble upon this video... WOW. Thank you for this insight. Learned something new
This is great! I was blending in a small processor and you not only showed an easier way but also the best way to get the full benefit of the aloe gel. Thank you! And I just happened upon this video. The last time is processed a leaf it turned into liquid. No gel at all.. 🙏🙏🌹
I’ve been wondering about the science of why aloe turns into a low viscosity liquid when blended for a while now. I blended it once, lost all the slip, and never bothered with it again. I guess I’ll be looking at Mr. Coats’ research and scraping with a butter knife! Thanks for this❤
I still use blended aloe juice which I store in the freezer until needed, but I find for a fresh overnight prepoo, the fresh leaf does work infinitely better in deeply moisturizing. So yes, with convenience, comes some potency loss.
Thank you so much for teaching on how to extract the gel. I have always blended it but after this tutorial, never again. I'm just hoping I can be as gentle as you when I start the scraping process. Again, thanks so much for sharing your wonderful knowledge with us.
Nice video, someone mentioned about not blending the gel in the comment to the previous video I’ve watched. Your video came first, thank you for showing us how to extract the gel and deep explanation of every step.
I just found you today on TH-cam and I’m so grateful to you. I’ve watched 3 of your videos today and I’ve learnt so much. I now know how to use fenugreek and extract gel from Aloe Vera. Thank you for your insight and knowledge, please keep uploading your fantastic videos.
I love you! Thank you sooooo soooo much for this video. I was looking forward to blending my aloevera gel tomorrow but I came across this video and got to know this amazing technique. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this interesting video! I have to strain mine to remove all the little fibers from the gel that get caught in my hair. How do you deal with that issue if you don’t strain yours? Thanks!
🎉hi there sis hope all is well the last vedio you were using zolaplex I tried it and it was not working for me so I went back to your OLD DIYS thanks sis you're awesome 🎉
Hi, I have always blend my aloe and yes oxidation takes place very quickly and I hate to use it when it changes color. My concern is the fibre that is left behind when it is not strained.
I grew up having to swallow aloes 🤢 because it was good for u. Oh god I hated using it on my hair and skin because it smelled so bad at most times. But it’s very good
@@georginaflemmings5074 u can drink it, swallow it, or blend it just make sure to remove the green parts, but after consuming the flesh I always follow it down with juice and then about 2- cups of water (because aloes are a cleanser) growing up Caribbean it was a must before school opened back up 🤢
@@Lisamarieliza ... I am Jamaican, we call this sinkle bible back home....before I left Jamaica my neighbours would use it to wash their hair, believe it or not, hair wasnt my problem then, my hair is actually thicker than person in the post... back then with same type of curls, it just wasnt as long... just a tad pass my shoulders....anyway growing up in N America we didnt use this plant.....my parents never grew up eating or drinking this plant ...otherwise they would've taught me its health or medicinal abilities...its of late I'm starting to understand Aloe Veras potency/benefits. I mean...like the past week...watching these TH-cam videos...so now i know that I can eat it raw, I'll treat it like coconut jelly ...thanks again for informing me of its amazing use...God bless
@@georginaflemmings5074 yeah it’s a good plant but since times have changed (I’m in my 20s) not much ppl really use it often like before. But u could blend with fruit juice like apple , mango, or tamarin juice or any juice that’s not too acid. I just hate the taste and sometimes the smell.
Thanks girl ,Now I get the point.....I saw a vd @ business insider on how a factory makes aloe gel ,was wondering why they are paying so many workers using knives...I mean they could just get a machine that blends it...lol..
Do you get all the white bits of residue with this method. Other videos advise to use a kitchen or a pair of stockings to separate the residue. Can u shed some ligt if this hpns with the method just shown. Many thanks from the UK
Sometimes, this method does take a little bit of practice to get down, so it's common to get chunks of aloe. I can usually just pick them out of the gel prior to using in my hair, but straining through a stocking can be helpful as well!
Hi do you follow up with your henna treatment after this or a normal DC, would love to know your weekly routine. Will defo be using this as my regular pre poo thank you.
Great video but the yellow sap is poisonous and can be harmful if ingested and if used on skin can cause skin problems. My recommendation is to drain it for at least 30 mins before use.
Apparently some people refer to regular shampoo as "poo" as opposed to no-poo, which is natural home made shampoo. Before she started she mentioned that she would use it before washing her hair or something like that, so that's why she said pre-poo
Hi. Permission to share your video this video on how to get the aloe vera gel on my Instagram page. It would help a lot of hair bloggers that use aloe vera in their hair regimen. Most of us blend the aloe vera to get the gel. Please I will need your confirmation first to share. Thanks
Yes! You are more than welcome to share this video on instagram, but I do request that credit be given by either tagging my IG account (@iiannmystii) or linking back to this YT channel!

Anisah Israel Oh and on another note. Our skin PH is 5.5 and hair PH is just around 4.5-5.5 PH. Sodium bicarbonate has a PH of 8.4.
Your Surgery Sister thank you for explaining and clarifying. I appreciate being taught something new!
What about rhassoul clay?
No one else has said this. I wish more TH-camrs would do research before they start repeating what everyone else is doing. Thank you for your insight.

Wow!! This is exactly how I obtain my aloe juice too because we barely have electricity in Nigeria.
I love how the gel comes out so easily. Thank you for this great video!
I love this method. Please make a video on the best way to make aloe Vera juice.
I didn’t even know all of that about oxidation and that’s exactly how I’ve been collecting the gel for years.
I still use blended aloe juice which I store in the freezer until needed, but I find for a fresh overnight prepoo, the fresh leaf does work infinitely better in deeply moisturizing. So yes, with convenience, comes some potency loss.
You’re the first to share such a technique in getting the gel... can’t wait to try this. Thank you so much!
The pre-poo that you made is what I use as a cleanser! Great video and very informative!
Thank you so much for teaching on how to extract the gel. I have always blended it but after this tutorial, never again. I'm just hoping I can be as gentle as you when I start the scraping process. Again, thanks so much for sharing your wonderful knowledge with us.
Wow, this was life changing for my soap making!! I hated how foamy my aloe got when I blended it, this changes everything!
I tried the scrape scrape on my aloe leaf and didn't have a PRD! (pulp related disaster) Hallelu! This video has changed the game for me.
I just blended some last night. 🤦🏾♀️ Thanks for the tip, will be trying this from now on. Great vid!
Thanks for the tip. I’ve been scooping and blending. I’ll be adding it to a deep conditioner that doesn’t have much slip.
this is what I do! When I blend them, it’s way too watery and not gel like enough

I’m glad I saw this. Will be doing this moving forward. Do you get any flakes in your hair since you didn’t strain it?
Thank You! I just started using Aloe Vera today for the first time. I will do this from now on! Thanks Again!
Thank you so much for this, this is a much better alternative. So easy, I will definitely put my Aloe plants to use now.
Thanks so much for sharing! I'm in love with fresh aloe vera and really appreciate these tips!!! 😍🥰

Can we like get the recipe for the pre-poo treatment you have mentioned? Thanks....
Very helpful and informative and not too long! Thank you 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
So helpful! Love aloe
Well gahh damn I learned something new.... What about Aloe Powder though? Would that be taking away basically all the benefits?
Great info. Thanks!
Thanks! I love this technique
I grew up having to swallow aloes 🤢 because it was good for u. Oh god I hated using it on my hair and skin because it smelled so bad at most times. But it’s very good
Do you add aloe to a smoothie / drink or do u eat the gel in its raw state?

Wow this is great! Im a new subbie. I will make the paste this weekend and the hibiscus

Interesting. I learned something today
Merci pour cette information!!!🤗
(Thank you for this information!!)
Tfs this looks really easy than blending. Luv ur videos 🙏

Hi! I typically use this as a pre-poo or I will add it to my henna masks.
Have you tried rhassoul clay instead of bentonite? I find rhassoul clay to be much less drying for my hair.
Thanks 🙏
How do you make aloe vera juice?
How about if we wanted it in juice form?
Why did I see this after I already blended? I didn't want to take the time to extract 😭 but I only deal with aloe if I'm going to apply immediately
This is so informative
Super duper helpful
What were the measurements for the prepoo?
Super helpful!!
Great video
