Not sure how he started but cut the aloe and shave the is insides. Some people add a little water some don’t. Also remember the most important thing about washing your hair isn’t your hair it is your scalp. I find that people are concerned about the way their hair feels and not how your scalp feels. Aloe is good for both but you should include some scalp maintenance in your routine.

I only leave it in for about 30 mins - 1hr. It's already hard enough to get the gunks of aloe out your hair when it's fresh, i could imagine after leaving it in for a day.

Word. Last time I did it I scooped out all the gel chunks from the plant then put all of it in some cheesecloth and squeezed all of it out into a bowl. No chunks, just the actual gel afterwards

That is why people add water to it. When I am home or in Trinidad i wash it out with sea water. Now the sand will be in your hair forever but it will exfoliate your scalp.
 
Sucks that im the only freeformer here, but i'll drop an update pic of my locs soon.
 
I dont mind the salt water...not sure what the benefits are if im being honest though...

God gave us everything that man tries to duplicate. The natural salt water is great for removing impurities on your body and your scalp. When you get a cut that is why they tell you to bath in salt water( at home anyway) also when the salt water contracts in the sun it helps your hair loc and stay locked. It is also good for acne and other skin irritations.
