Team Kinks! I’m all up on yo screen discussing foreheads and ponytails. I always felt due to the size of my head and the width of my forehead low ponytails would be unflattering on me.

Have you ever had an itchy scalp result after using aloe vera on your natural hair? Well, this might be the cause. Did you know fresh aloe vera can have poison in the leaf called “Aloin” aka “aloe latex”? This aloe latex has more harmful effects internally than it does externally. However, it can affect your skin in such a way that results in itchiness or rashes. If not cleaned out well your experience with using fresh aloe vera on your natural hair might not be as enjoyable as the majority. So watch this video for proper cleaning methods of the aloe vera leaf. Do you have a whole bunch of white stuff in your hair after doing an aloe vera treatment? You strained it first and still get this pulp all in your hair? Well, I might have the best method to strain aloe vera, avocado, or even flaxseed. Click play and enjoy it.
