Hello.
I just took a lot Aloe Vera and mixed it with Vatika Dabur Coconut Hair Oil, and one teaspoon Guar Gum.
I got this idea from Chicoro, and you can use any oil you want to do it, but i just love this oil there's both coconut oil, castor oil and henna in it, and it smells delicious.
But the gel is amazing, i use it when my hair is wet with Bee Mine Moisturizer underneath it.
It is an a amazing curl definer and is great for wearing curls out, and also slicking the edges back and styling.
And it makes my hair sooo shiny! Smile
You should try this once!

I am interested in knowing how much of each you used. Also, what brand of aloe vera did you use? What kind of aloe vera did you use--gel, gelly or juice? TIA

@Indidiiamond - Not sure where in NC you live but I always get my Vatika oil from a local Indian Grocery store. I just googled Indian Grocery store in NC to find it. Just be forewarned that a visit might make you hungry for Indian food! Very Happy

I'm also really curious about the Curl Definer Gel. Where do you find Guar Gum?

Im not sure where you are in North Carolina but there are two Indian grocery stores in Greensboro Krishna Indian Grocery 3817 D High Point Road Greensboro, NC 336-681-4948 and the other one is Indu Convenient Store 4925 West Market Street Greensboro, NC 336-235-2700 Both of these stores carry Vatika oil as well as other oils & powders for your hair I frequent them both The store on West Market street has a larger size of Vatika oil if Im not mistaken for $4.99

I hope that this helps

I do know I saw a Video and someone use Xanthum Gum I think its used as a thickner so I am thinking these are about the same. You can find the Xanthum Gum in Whole food stores near the flour so I am wondering if you can find the guar gum in the same place.

This is come from Chicoro's book?

To everyone who wanted the recipe I checked Chicoro Fotki and this is what she posted on her Fotki

Basic Ingredients:
1. Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Gel (1/4 cup)
2. Oil (1/8 cup) - Any kind will do!
3. Guar Gum (1 teaspoon)
***I Forgot Glycerin!! Oops
4. Glycerin

Pour aloe vera gel into container.
Add oil.
Add guar gum 1 teaspoon at a time.

Keep the mix thin. Messed up? Like Gypsycurls says, "Just add more aloe vera gel to thin it. You can't mess it up"

I say start out with just a small quantity just in case you don't like it. She never said how much Glycerin. Here is her Fotki
