So about the preservative: Usually, when you put water or water-based ingredient (such as Aloe Vera) into an oil mixture, you MUST use a preservative to prevent mold and bacteria to grow and to prevent your product from going rancid. But honestly, I’m not sure if this DIY recipe would require a preservative. So in this case, I didn’t for several reasons: - I use it in my own household and I run out fast. - It’s been 3 weeks since I made this batch and it’s still holding up amazing. - I’m not planning to sell this product. - I keep an eye on it daily. If you want to be sure that your DIY aloe vera oil will hold up you can: - Add some vitamin E drops for extra protection against the product going rancid - Store it in the fridge - Store in a dark, cool place However, if you create your own oil without water-based ingredients, you don’t need a preservative. Oil alone holds up great for up to 2 years. Hope this helps! ❤️
You have been really coming with some great HEALTHY hair tips consistently. You're always giving us something doable. I have all this in my kitchen already (just like the prepoo from an earlier video). Thank you SO much!
I wish Aloe did anything for my hair. It has been a staple growing up and I don't think it does anything other than provide slip for detangling my hair. Awesome video ♥️🙏🏾
Love this!!! I'll definitely be making this oil soon. I grow a few aloe vera plants, and so grateful I do, for this very purpose. Your hair is beautiful, as always ❤
If u use aloe vera powder instead of fresh aloe, you won't have to worry about the water and oil issue. Henna Sooq makes high quality finely sifted ayurvedic powders. SheRea DelSol has a video for her aloe vera oil recipe using the powder.
Does it have the same amount of slip because nothing beats the slip you get from using the fresh leave when making the oil that is from my experience..i have made several batches without preservative and it holds up for months
aloe vera was my life saver when i was a new natural. i big chopped so i was definitely wanted something to promoted stronger and healthier hair and aloe vera juice was my best friend! only have to drink a cup a day to start seeing results in as little as 2 weeks for me (you can drink more but no more than two cups a day). i recommend some sort of aloe vera to anyone, it is a game changer!
Aloe vera gel has really helped soften and grow my hair and I found an easy way to get the juice off without a blender or the mixing or the lamps, and I made a short how to video on my channel. I can be inconsistent, so making my hair routine easy is really important to me. This was really helpful too.
You influenced me to get up and do my hair this fine Sunday morning, LOL! Your hair has always been beautiful, as long as I've been watching your videos, but it looks especially healthy as of late. I'm glad the secret is out! TFS!
I’m sure someone already said this. But sissssssss I’m gonna need you to put that mix on them shelves. Because uhmmmmmmmmmm we need it. I can be lazy at times to do it. But I will make this mix tomorrow.
I've never being this early. Please can you try my diy hair mask ? I would be very happy if you could try it and show your result. The recipe is simple, ( banana,aloe vera, my favorite oil (extra virgin olive oil) and honey. I then mix it very well and strain it using a wig cap is very important. I apply it to my hair and my scalp and allow it for atlist 1h and then rinse it and do the rest of my routine. This recipe is great because banana makes the body synthesis COLLAGEN which is great for hair growth and this mask make my hair super soft but at the same time strengthened and reduced my hair breakage and in the long run it made my hair grow faster by using it consistently
@@Ariiiyaa2 i'm not talking of make your hair straight I'm talking about making your hair strengthened thanks for the correction and by the way this makes gives me a lot of DEFINITION
Your hair is glowing 💞💞💞 I use aloe vera gel and essential oils on my scalp and it really helps with hair fall 🤗🤗🤗 very informative video about aloe oil . I would try it 😘
Nooo. Alor is mostly moisturizing. Not strenghening. Look at the chemical composition of aloe. Impossible to get protein overload. Maybe moisture overload
I thought you said you were gonna use all of the aloe... what did you do with it after you drained it? Couldn't you have slices off the skin and added it to a blender and make a conditioner with it? I'm just curious, I made a shampoo with aloe in it. The oils will be completely infused in the aloe after you drain it so you should still be able to use it right?
You said you used sweet almond oil and jojoba because they're your favorites. However, when you said how much you measured you said sweet almond and grapeseed oil so I'm a bit confused. Did you use grapeseed or jojoba?
I loved the method to make it but I’m a little unsure about heating the oil since alot of studies warn from that and doesn’t recommend since it’s believed to lose it’s nutrients when heated?
It's not recommended to fry the aloe or whatever like that. The best thing to do is to put the mixture in a bowl and then put it in hot water on fire...
Ok so my hair is in braids and beads and in this back where my neck is, was braided WAY TOO TIGHT. So under the braids, there are a bunch of bumps. On top of that it itches really bad and it starts to burn every now and then. I can’t stop myself from scratching so my skin is inflamed and red. And I can see and see that my hair is breaking off. Please tell me what to do 😭😫🤕🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Unrefined almond oil is heat sensitive. Unless u are using refined. Some propertiesv found in aloe is also heat sensitive pass 15 min of heating. Unless u are selling product that need a long shelf life , i feel itis Better to use it raw directily on the scalp n dont rinse. I feel it is wasting such good ingrédients
Agreed! And also it is recommended to rinse the aloe vera and remove the leaf since there’s a toxic resing in the green leaf part. I feel like this is a real waste since all the benefits is burn off 😳😬😭
I’m no scientist but, I think for these natural ingredients to maintain the nutrients, it would be better to use the double boiler method. You do not want to denature the oil and aloe with high heat, particularly if you have a cold-pressed oil. Just a suggestion.
So about the preservative:
Usually, when you put water or water-based ingredient (such as Aloe Vera) into an oil mixture, you MUST use a preservative to prevent mold and bacteria to grow and to prevent your product from going rancid. But honestly, I’m not sure if this DIY recipe would require a preservative. So in this case, I didn’t for several reasons:

YESSSS GIRL THXXX U ❤️❤️
Please where did you get the dropper bottles from??
From aliexpress 😊
YESSS TYY
the way you cut the aloe vera was SOOOOOOO satisfying.
You have been really coming with some great HEALTHY hair tips consistently. You're always giving us something doable. I have all this in my kitchen already (just like the prepoo from an earlier video). Thank you SO much!
I would recommend to put oils like this in a dark glass container because light, especially sunlight, can make them deteriorate
I wish Aloe did anything for my hair. It has been a staple growing up and I don't think it does anything other than provide slip for detangling my hair.
Awesome video ♥️🙏🏾
then it’s doing something for ur hair
Your hair looks so healthy. You are incredibly beautiful 😍♥️️
Rosemary essential oil is a preservative. Great idea
Love this!!! I'll definitely be making this oil soon. I grow a few aloe vera plants, and so grateful I do, for this very purpose. Your hair is beautiful, as always ❤
I'm going to try this for about a month. I can't wait to see the results.
Yes aloe starting to be my favorite 😍. Made me some aloe vera, flaxseed and argan oil concoction, got it on my hair now
I used to just buy pure aloe Vera juice which you can drink and spray it on my hair

@@BeautyIn4C not the slip. But it can be more moisturizing because the powder is more concentrated than the leaf
Love the end results!
Thank you! 😍

@@EpicRealistTV aloe vera doesn't have a good taste trust me
@@andreatsanga1273 I know lol! I was talking about my hair. I most definitely won’t eat it. 😂
Why would you suggest something that straightens hair? We don't want our hair straight.
@@Ariiiyaa2 i'm not talking of make your hair straight I'm talking about making your hair strengthened thanks for the correction and by the way this makes gives me a lot of DEFINITION
Thank you so much for sharing. I am desperate for my hair to grow after hormonal imbalance.
I have heard that Neem oil is Natural preservative. I put it in my oils and butter mix.
Gracias 😍
Your hair is glowing 💞💞💞 I use aloe vera gel and essential oils on my scalp and it really helps with hair fall 🤗🤗🤗 very informative video about aloe oil . I would try it 😘
Is it true that aloe vera using it too much will give you protein overload ????
Aloe contains very little protein, and I've read comments from people with protein-sensitive hair that aloe doesn't cause them any trouble.
Nooo. Alor is mostly moisturizing. Not strenghening. Look at the chemical composition of aloe. Impossible to get protein overload. Maybe moisture overload
I know it makes my hair hard or rough
Amber, I Loved ♥️ This Video As Always, And I Will Be Trying This Oil This Wash Day, (tomorrow is Wash day, lol), THANK YOU FOR SHARING! 🙂♥️🙌🏼🙏
Hey amber! What about store bought aloe vera gel??

It's not recommended to fry the aloe or whatever like that. The best thing to do is to put the mixture in a bowl and then put it in hot water on fire...
Amber do you still use hair mayo for a deep conditioner?

Do you soak your aloe Vera plant over night to get rid of the poison?
Jojoba or grapeseed????
Which oils are the heavy oils?
Castor oil is quite heavy
