QuoteReplyTopic: For those who have used shea and shealoe Posted: April 23 2006 at 5:57pm
I went to an African store today and tried a sample of shea butter. I put it on my face and hands, and it felt a little greasy, but very moisturizing.
I noticed that it felt different from shealoe. Shealoe moisturizes with a bit of a "wet" feel, but not as greasy.
I can't find shealoe locally, but I can buy shea nearly by the tub and don't have to get it online, pay shipping, or wait for it.
How would you describe the differences in shea/shealoe for hair, and which would you say is better?

It is the gel from the aloe that makes shealoe feel "wet" I guess the shealoe is easier to put on your hair. Why don't you buy the shea butter and some aloe gel and mix it with a hand mixer, you got shealoe! I just thought of that, so let me know how that works out so I'll know to try it or not

Where would I find the aloe gel? If I could find that and make my own shealoe (or decide to use either ingredient alone), I would probably NEVER buy it online again.

Oh, I could get the shea on my hand, and it melted. I don't think I would have a problem getting it on my hair. I'm just wondering if it's as good as or better (or worse) than shealoe.

real aloe vera gel with no ingredients is clear not green. you can get fruit of the earth in kroger or walmart. if you want the more natural type, try vitamin shoppe. they have lily of the desert aloe vera gel
