a few questions about aloe vera

Dread Products

I've been told by a lot of people with dreads to just slap it on, however i mixed it with salt and simmered it a little bit and strained it to get a lot of the blobs out. I put it in after washing and blow-dried my hair; awesome tightener.

I do my dreads alone, so i didn't want to spend time picking out aloe-guts. I wasn't too keen on the smell, but i made an herbal-essence spray that worked awesome to cover it up and sooth the scalp after i lock mine (rotate and lock method). Alternate to using Aloe that way, I've also been using the green-goo you put on sunburns with minimal ingredients and no bad stuff for dreadies in it when i'm lazy; i was able to find it at the store for about 3 bucks. I think organic is the way to go, though.

Lawl. I went from being a vegetarian for more than a year and a half to a normal omnivore because i can't justify not eating animals and including humans in your diet...lawl...

I would eat dog if it was humane killing, a threat to a community, and no one's pet. In Iraq, Macaws are considered very fancy chicken. I know this because i had someone who was in a brain-tumor treatment program that was not legal in the US and she had one as a pet. Treatment was not going well, and she was very very worried.

Also, anyone know about food grade Diatomaceous Earth for dreads? It's a non-toxic pestacide that's good for your health; it's really a form of plant with a crustacean shell. When the mini-animals die, their shells leave microb-level, sharp and hard fragments that dehydrate the exoskeleton of insects. They use it in pools, for dynamite, and you can put it on your dogs and cats for fleas, and you can eat it to support colon-cleansing, detox, hair and nail growth. Also gets rid of lice, bedbugs, tapeworms, and all sort of nasties.
I got curious about putting it on my cat, and put it in my dreads.

And OH MAN does it make dreadballing tips so much easier. I'm sort of scared with how useful it seems, but i wonder everyone else's opinion on that.

Yeah. Think about Winnie the Poo.If some dog was running around with a candy bar stuck to it's back, and i was starving, you better bet i'd be thinking chinese food and dessert.

I figured that, but i had to ask a stupid question to at least understand a stupid notion. Even if it isn't my own.

How much have you folks heard about putting honey in your dreads? I've heard it added in some dreadly mixtures, and i've also known people who have had to shave their heads after using it. I myself haven't tried it because i'm pretty sure i'm a relation of Gumby and i'm not risking any accidents, but i'd still like to know people's experiences.Mm, bee vomit...
