  6. No wonder Direct Giovanni works so well for me! I modified the Knot Today with aloe vera juice & oil, but still had better results with DG. However I do not like the white film after layering on multiple times. But I hope they NEVER change the recipe. Thank you JC :)

  9. What about Nature's Gate Organic Aloe Vera & Lavender Conditioner? Or Shea Moisture Curling Pudding, Xtreme wet hair gel, Ecostyler gels, or Curl Junkie Smoothing Lotion? I used Nature's Gate Aloe Vera Conditioner and loved it during the conditioner only method but in the summer when I need gel its meh...but weirdly awesome as a mid-week refresher with a little water.

  18. Saw the commercials for the Shielo Hair line, but was pretty skeptical. Decided to try the leave-in protectant - because since i grew my hair really long, I got the WORST SPLIT ENDS. Well - thank GOD I tried the shielo leave in protectant because even with my super long hair - I barely have any split ends!! You will see fewer split/broken ends. Not sure if the repair is really permanent or just improves appearance. Definitely worth the price as you only use a small amount each time.
