You know the benefits (some) get from pre-pooing. I know I had great strength against breakage when I used to pre-poo when I began my hair journey. I slacked off but now trying to regain what worked again.
Somehow I misplaced the 100% Coconut Oil I just bought. So I had to remix the pre-poo oils. I decided to use Shea Butter and Olive Oil. No matter what your ingredients are, just be sure to check your allergies. Always test a small area prior to doing your whole head. That's with any product you plan to use.
This is my routine for pre-pooing hair:

This is my routine for pre-pooing hair:
- DO NOT COMB HAIR
- PUT HAIR INTO FOUR SECTIONS
- START WITH THE BACK SECTION SINCE THAT IS THE SECTION THAT WILL MOST LIKELY RUB AGAINST MATERIAL.
- APPLY MIX TO ONE SECTION - MAKE SURE IT IS WELL THROUGH THE STRANDS - PIN THAT SECTION UP AFTER APPLICATION
- REPEAT FOR THE REMAINING THREE SECTIONS
- PLACE A SHOWER CAP OR PLASTIC BAG OVER HAIR
- DECIDE IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO UNDER THE DRYER FOR 20 MINUTES
- OR WEAR THE SHOWER CAP WITH A HEAD WRAP OVER TOP OF THE BAG TO PIN IN NATURAL HEAT/MOISTURE FOR 20 MINUTES
- IF THIS IS FOR YOUR REGULAR WASH DAY, SHAMPOO AND CONDITION AS NORMAL
- FOR MYSELF, I DO AM JUST GOING TO WASH OUT THE SHEA MIX AND THEN GO STRAIGHT TO CONDITIONING MY HAIR. I DECIDED TO SKIP THE SHAMPOO PROCESS SINCE THIS IS NOT MY WEEK TO SHAMPOO.
- STYLE AS NORMAL
My hair maintained the moisture and some of the oils since I did not "cleanse" with shampoo. It is so shiny, soft and easy to manipulate. Give pre-pooing a try if you never have. You will love the resultspre
