Africa’s Best Ultimate Herbal Oil with Ginseng – $3.99
Africa’s Best products have been around for years, but unfortunately got pushed to the side once new, innovative ethnic hair care products showed up on the shelf. However-unlike its old school counterparts-Africa’s Best products are all natural and petroleum free which means they may still have a place in our hair care regimens!
Africa’s Best Ultimate Herbal Oil with Ginseng* is all of the oils* we already use in one huge melting pot. It includes protein-filled sweet almond oil*, scalp-cleansing carrot oil, and other ingredients that promote growth such as castor seed oil and ginseng extract. The herbal oil also serves as a great sealant, controls frizz, and has a pleasant light fragrance.
I found this product to be a very important factor in my hair growth and styling during my transition stage. Because I experienced a bit of breakage from straightening my hair too often, I would mix this oil with water and spray it onto my hair as a heat protectant* and as a growth serum. It worked wonders.
Africa’s Best Ultimate Herbal Oil with Ginseng* can be found at most local beauty stores, Walgreens, and Amazon for just under $4.

Hi! Just a heads-up, Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera gel is not 100% aloe. It’s got at least 2 preservatives (which is understandable), but also Triethanolamine which is a toxin. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it effectiveness, but it is not pure Aloe Vera gel.

Hi!
I am glad you mentioned this. From my understanding (and I may be overgeneralizing), the Triethanolamine that Fruit of the Earth uses is cosmetic grade which means that it must contain less than 5% of the chemical.
Contrary to popular belief, it does not form harmful nitrosamines and should only be avoided if it is concentrated, a product contains over 5% of it, or is being ingested.
Other than that, you are correct! It is really a skin and eye irritant-and technically not 100% aloe vera gel lol

I swear by the aloe vera gel
I use it as my daily moisturizer, I mix it with activated charcoal for facial mask, when I had relaxed hair it works great as a gel and also great for first aid(cuts & burns) I love it. ❤❤❤❤❤ I’m also going to try the Africans best herbal oil.
