Thanks for that info. I'll be adding an essential oil to my mixture b/c the smell reminds me of baby vomit.

I kinda know what you mean. It could be the aloe vera gel and the oils. That AVG doesn't smell all that nice as it is...plus oils and a SWEET smelling product? No bueno. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I love this leave in mix. Been using it for a good lil min and it leaves my hair so moisturized for days. LOVE IT.

Another convert here..

I tried this over the weekend using her exact recipe and my hair thanks her. 2 days later my hair is still well moisturized and my twist out is fab.

where are the folks that made this with Giovanni direct leave in?? did you all have to add less product to keep hair from being white?

I tried this over the weekend as well and my hair is super moistured. and soft.

I haven't used her leave-in mix yet because I don't have all the products yet. However, I was looking on amazon.com for aloe vera juice and I think it's so funny that the frequently bought products are jojoba and castor oil. This mixture is sweeping the internet!! LOL they even suggest you buying all 3 together because so many other people are buying them all to make kimmaytube's leave-in

bump

@ BajanPrincess - LOVING the flower and puff. So cute!

Oh, I'm still using it. My hair is not as soft but I think it's because of my BC. I'm hearing that once it starts retaining moisture and stops losing it's mind it should start working again. LOL!! I've gotta name my hair!

I also tried this over the weekend and i love it!! My hair has never been softer and so lightweight.

I used aloe vera gel as a substitute for the aloe vera juice though and its still really good. I really like it for a twist-out too. Im in love!!

Side joke: I left it in the bathroom unmixed and my mom thought it was potatoes lol..she was like " who left food in here?" lol

For the people that have used this for 3 mths or more can you report your results? How has your retention been? Notice less breakage?

I tried the Kimmaytube leave in conditoner method, here are my results:

I think i will try this method for a couple of months to see how my hair will grow.. you never know. So far, so good.

I also tried it with Pantene Naturals instead of Knot Today.

what can i use instead of jojoba oil? is olive oil or avocado oil ok?

I used my giovanni with her exact measurements, instead of castor oil i used sweet almond oil and i have no white residue...i love it!!

I use my mix with Giovanni Direct leave in. I didn't have that effect. Are you just slathering it on like a moisturizer or applying it with a shingling technique? I've only tried the mixture twice, not really measuring exactly but kind of by sight because I know what my hair likes, but both times I've LOVED it.
1st time - applied it to sections of wet hair, combed through and braided for a braid out
2nd time - applied to smaller sections, combed through and twisted for a twist out

Used:
Natural High Aloe Vera Gel
Desert Essence jojoba oil
Wal-mart brand EVOO
Castor Oil
Giovanni DLI

I use Giovanni Direct Leave in and I don't have any white residue either.

Last week I tried the mixture with Garnier Fructis leave-in cream and it is THE BUSINESS!!! No residue, has a citrus smell, feels amazing on my hair! A+ for sure

I have use both the KCNT or the GDLI with stellar results. I have finally retain more and can recognized some length in the few weeks I have used it. Definitely a keeper!

Hi LadyMika,

I'd like to know how many drops of tea tree oil you add to the Kimmay leave-in because I don't want to add too much TT and burn my scalp. I use 10 drops of TT in a water & jojoba mix for my scalp, but never thought about adding the TT directly to the leave-in mix (which I love). Thanks much.

I second the mixture with the Garnier Fructis Leave-in creme. It is very nice. No white residue. Nice scent. Soft hair! This has been day 3 for me using it though.

I made a batch of this yesterday applied to my twists and rolled them on satin covered foam rollers. I really like it. I have soft, moist curls with more definition than I have ever had without using heat.

Tried this with the Mixed Chicks leave-in. NOT COOL! It left white specks all over my hair. Don't know what that was about. So, went out and got KCKT and will be trying again in a couple days.

I only used about five drops in the mix. I don't make a lot of it (only enough for that moment) so five drops should be enough. Hope this helps!
