If you love your curls, this is a must try recipe for getting gorgeous curls with natural ingredients.
So this is a real simple and easy recipe with 5 ingredients to boot! So, let’s get started shall we?
Ingredients
Aloe Vera Gel – ¼ Cup
Shea Butter – ¼ Cup
Coconut Oil – ¼ Cup
Vitamin E Oil – 1 Tsp.
Argan Oil – 1 Tsp.
Instructions
If you have fresh Aloe Leaves, you must prepare the gel. First, wash the Aloe Leaf and let the green fluid drain out fully – you can do this by cutting a strip at the root portion of the leaf. Now, remove the gel and wash it well before you get stated with preparing the gel. Once you get the flesh out, add it to your blender with some Citric Acid Powder and Vitamin E Oil. Once blended your aloe gel is ready for use. You can also buy organic store-bought aloe gel and use for this recipe instead.
Melt the Shea Butter in your double boiler.
When it begins to melt add in the Aloe Vera Gel.
Add in the Coconut Oil and stir to combine.
When fully melted remove from heat and wait till it cools down slightly before adding Vitamin E Oil and Argan Oil.
Refrigerate for a while – the mixture should be cool to touch and slightly translucent but not hard and opaque. Depending on your refrigerator it takes a few minutes to an hour or more.
Once the texture is achieved, remove from the fridge and whisk using your hand blender to a nice fluffy texture.
Done!
Transfer to a sterilized container.
