Beloved readers, I’ve waxed poetic before in several posts about the benefits of aloe. I’ve even dedicated a post solely to its benefits. (Coming next week!)
I adore aloe as a moisturizer, holding gel, curl-definer, shine spray, softener and scalp soother. It works well in a variety of forms and in this case: a spray.
