Revisiting the Coconut Prepoo

Ingredients used for my first Trini coconut prepoo mix

Last few months I have been rough on my hair so I decided to give it some TLC by doing a coconut prepoo treatment a few weeks ago. This would be the fist time I was attempting this in Trinidad. I had coconut oil that I brought with me from the US but I needed to locate the other ingredients locally. 

After mixing up all my ingredients. It was a bit less thick in consistency than when I made it previously but worked just as well

My undetangled, dry hair before prepooing. Clearly the last few months been rough lol

A section of my hair after applying the prepoo mixture. Curls are elongated and the section is easily detangled.

Full head all done prepooing

The amount of hair lost. Not bad at all considering I can't remember the last time I fully detangled my hair prior to this lol

Prepoo hair the next day after sleeping on it. 

Once I was done pre-pooing, I steamed using my Huetiful hair steamer. I then shampooed using the Kinky Curly Come Clean Shampoo, conditioned with Giovanni Nutrafix Hair Reconstructor, did an ACV rinse, applied my homemade leave-in and twisted my hair up to dry.

Putting that Huetiful steamer to work!

Deep conditioning

My ACV rinse: 2 caps full of ACV, 2 cups water

I'm still alive!!!!!! + Huetiful discounts!!!!

You have to experience the unbridled joy of Trini carnival to understand that facial expression lol

Hi Folks,

I know, it's been waaaayyyyy too long. Between graduating, packing up my life and relocating, holidays, carnival and job hunting, there is nary a second for blogging, although if you are my facebook friend you get little snippets from time to time. Well consider this post a comeback intro. I'm not back at full strength yet but I got a special little email recently so I figured this would be as nice a comeback as any lol. The lovely folks at Huetiful somehow stumbled across my blog and appreciated my unsolicited review of their product and would like to offer some of my readers a special offer: the first 10 folks to use the code msnappytrini10 before March 7th gets a 10% discount at the Huetiful store! Simply type the code into the coupon/discount box during checkout. If you use it please post a comment and let me know!

I promise it won't be another 7 months before i post again lol

Blessings!
