Hey beautiful!! Congrats on BSL!!! I recieved my IMI items very quickly and I love them all.

Thanks!

I received this email yesterday as well but hadn't opened it yet. Thanks for posting this because it does sound like it would yield some very moisturized hair. It seems like it would be a great thing to try before you did a ayurvedic treatment.

I kinda want to do it after a henna treatment because the ingredients seem like that would make a great dc also

THANKS! LOVED the video! I love TUTS with just music and instruction. Perfect for us visual learners.

ME TOO!!! I need tutorials to get straight to the point or at least provide written instruction so I can mute them, lol

one question? did you do a blow out on your hair prior to braiding it?

No, I just stretched my hair in two Pocahontas-like braids. It was too hot for heat this weekend...95° whew!

I am sure your hair was dry in 30 mins with this past weekend heat!

That mess was crazy! I stepped outside, blinked, and was immediately drenched in sweat!

Ingredients you will need:
In a bowl mix
· ½ cup of aloe vera juice or whole leaf aloe vera
· 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite oil (wheat germ, olive, safflower, walnut etc)
In a separate Bowl melt
· Food grade coconut oil (1/4 cup)
· Sit the bottle or jar in hot water- do not put in microwave or on the stove!

Using your fingers, separate your hair into 4- 8 sections. If your hair is caked with hard product, rinse your hair first. Gently handle the first section. First, smooth the hair in a downward direction. You are just trying to make sure that all the hair is going in one direction. You don't need to completely detangle the hair at this point.

Dip your hair in the bowl of aloe vera and oil or cup your hands in the mixture and transfer it to the section onto your hair. Work it through. Get the aloe vera/oil mix into your hair from root to tip. Make sure it is moist throughout the sectioned hair. If your hair is long enough, twist it and wrap it around like a bantu knot. If it is not, try to twist it and move it out the way. Repeat until you have done this to each section.

You should have a head full of aloe vera mixed with oil twisted sections. Go back to the first twist you did. Undo it, pour the liquid coconut oil in your hand and work through the section. Re-twist it and repeat on whole head. Place a plastic shower cap on your head for 15-60 minutes. Your moisturizing pre-poo is complete!


Has anyone ever tried it? It sounds like it may yield some nice results.

I've never tried this, but thanks for sharing it. I didn't even know Chicoro had a mailing list. Can you let me know how I can sub?

Thanks.

Hi Tiashauntee!

I have tried this and it is an amazing prepoo. I highly recommend before every clarifying and when used with the aloe vera gel, it even works with a co-wash.

I have used it for both. I used it before a cowash when I was trying to correct for dryness. Have you tried it yet?

I haven't tried it yet but I am growing curious, especially since I already have everything to make it

Try it, please! I'm on the mailing list as well, and immediately placed aloe vera on my grocery list. But haven't found it yet and cannot get to trader joes until friday! Please! Please, try it.... and post pics

chicoro is amazing - i think you'll be pleased with the moisturizing results.

Your tutorial was great and your hair is beautiful. Very inspiring. I love the simplicity of everything you do even with your products. You hair is truly a reflection that less is more.

tia i watched the video and loved it!!! congrats on BSL!!! You hair looks so pretty

Watched video last night, thank you lady! Your parts are so straight. I am hoping it will help me with a look I am planning on trying in the next day or two. Thanks again!

BTW: Love my larger donut-shaped earrings. Wearing them today. They are the larget earrings I have ever worn. They do not weigh down my earlobes, thanks a bunch!

The largest really! I always assumed that with all that hair on your head that you would own some big funky earrings. I am so glad you like them.

heeeeey i didnt get that chicoro email and im on the list but it does sound good, i was picturing the steps as i read em!

Wish I could braid like you. I'm working on it and think I did pretty good on little bits hair last night, but my own...well that's a whole 'nother story.

It comes with practice. A few years ago I couldn't braid to save my life!
