Aloe Vera Juice/Gel
Works as a natural conditioner. It makes your curls soft, gives shine, reduces frizz, strengthens the hair and helps against hair loss.

Vegetable Glycerin
Vegetable glycerin creates a layer of oil over your hair strand, helping to retain moisture. It is great to use glycerin-based products in moderately humid air. Not too moist, not too dry. “Glycerin works best on natural hair when it draws moisture from the air to keep our strands hydrated all day long.” When used in the right climatic conditions, glycerin can really help define your curl pattern! If used in the wrong conditions it can lead to causing dry hair. “If the environment around the hair is drier than the hair, it is possible that Glycerin pushes moisture from the hair into the dry air to balance the moisture in the atmosphere.
