PRE-POO RECIPE FOR MOISTURE

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: 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 ...

TO WRAP HAIR OR TO NOT?

I remember as a child, I never wrapped my hair before bed. Even in my teen years and early twenties, I didn't even wrap my hair up. Now that I am on this hair journey, this question has been one of mine for the last 2 years.  During my hair journey, I can honestly say that I do try to wrap my hair up every night to protect my styles but there are those times that I either forget to do it, or traveling and forget to pack it. I noticed when I do not wrap it up, the hair is frizzy, and it requires more manipulation when attempting to "fit it up." When hair is wrapped, it is more silkier, soft, and easy to handle. What I normally do is, wrap the hair one way for the first day, then the next day, wrap it the opposite way. I try not to keep it in the same form or else thinning will occur. I wrap similar to this: So to answer the question....YES! DO WRAP YOUR HAIR TO PROTECT YOUR STYLE, KEEP HAIR SOFT AND MANAGEABLE.
