Default Aloe Vera- flax seed

Hi,

Is aloe Vera more moisturizing as a gel or flax seed gel?
Love
Sima

i havent tried flax seed gel, but aloe vera gel is great! i use it to shave with, and it leaves my legs nice and soft and i dont need lotion! i havent tried it on my hair by itself yet though.

Flax seed gel is great for hair. It has high levels of essential fatty acids which are needed for healthy hair. I found that aloe vera gel tends to be more drying and stiff than the flax seed gel. At one point I was using both gels, the flax seed first, and the aloe vera if I needed more hold.

what about grapseed oil? I just got some because it was cheaper than almond oil...but I didn't use it yet.

Back on Cones,so now my routine is,wash with Deva No-Poo every other day or so. Occasionally use 365 sulfate free,maybe use low sulfate shampoo mixed with conditioner once every two weeks are longer. I condition with Aussie Moist or HEHH. I style with a little GF TN,and finish up with tons of GN Pure Clean Smoothing Cream. No frizz...slippy, happy hair.
