Does anybody remember Chicoro's two-step method? I used to hear people swearing by it, but I can't remember it anymore. Apologies if it's upthread. I just don't have it in me to read back today. :)
 
Found it. I have heard this dissolves tangles like no other, but I haven't personally tried it myself.

Chicoro's Moisture-Drenched Pre-Poo

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!
Remember, everyone's hair has different needs. You may need more or less of this mixture. Or, your hair may not like this at all. None of these will irrevocably change your hair. Thus, you just need to wash out the mixture if your hair doesn't like it.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

Aunt jackies knot on my watch. Omg! I randomly picked it up one day since l suffer with major tangles. This is awesome. It softens the hair and provides amazing slip. I love it.

Yes it is a good detangler. It works very well. I get a lot of tangles too and it helps me get through my hair much easier.

I have the prepoo mix on my head right now. My hair refuses to let any type of moisture lately so hopefully this helps.
