Keltie and I were talking about Aloe Vera the other day, in the context of
hair care. It makes a very nice hair gel. Keltie was wondering, however,
how much protein it has in because protein makes hair crunchy if applied
in too large quantities, where the ‘too large quantity’ varies with your
hair type. I was curious about the chemical makeup of aloe vera but I
haven’t had too much luck in determining its protein content. This
site does have some information, and indicates that it does contain
some proteins, but it’s hard to say how accurate the information is. It
seems difficult to get any straight ‘scientific’ information on this
plant- most of the sites just want to go on and on about the wonderous
healing powers and nutritional benefits of aloe vera.
