I don't know if I'm confused, but do you use the aloe vera gel for sunburns on your hair? and if so what brand? or do they make/sell aloe vera gel for hair alone?

@ pancakes curl definition is the holy grail for curlies so welcome to the quest
Humidity can play a huge part in how defined your curls are. I live in Louisville, KY which is incredibly humid during the summer so I don't even attempt definition from May - August because I just don't want to battle.
Gels by nature do a good job of defining but what works varies from person to person. The best advice I can give is:
1. Figure out your hair texture, porosity and protein affinity.
2. Search the forums for "curl definition" which will yield billions of results.
3. Look a what products worked for those with hair that is similar texture, porosity and protein affinity. Also taking climate into account.
I know this is probably not the quick and dirty answer you were looking for but it is the correct way to find the most accurate results.

I buy the aloe vera gel sold in the health food shops or upscale pharmacies labelled as a nutritional supplement/natural laxative. The ones used specifically for sunburns all seem to have a bunch of random ingredients including alcohol and sometimes even mineral oil.

I use 100% (no alcohol, mineral oil or other addetives) aloe vera gel by Fruit of the Earth or Lily of the Desert

Anywho, the point of my long winded post is to advise you to find out your porosity so you can figure out what your hair needs.

same here...its a lil more defined with conditioner and water but its like the center still is a tad bit dryer than other parts , but i just wanna improve the look of my curls itself because when i first went natural the curls seemed pretty defined and some semi permanet colors i used a while back improve the overall look and touch of my curls
