Benefits of Pre Poo

Recently I have started to do pre-poo very often with my weekly treatments, it seems 
to be working great at keeping away my fairy knots and tangles. 


What are the benefits of pre-pooing?

There are many benefits to pre-pooing which I have recently discovered myself. 

Pre-poos help to protect your hair from the harsh shampooing process. The buildup 

from most products we use lies on our scalp and not so much on our hair. This buildup 

must be removed to allow your scalp to breathe for healthy growing hair. Pre poos help 

to condition the hair building a barrier between the hair and the harsh chemicals in shampoos. 

The main idea is to use oils or a conditioner to create this barrier and 

allowing the many knots to easily be removed. Pre pooing before a detangle and wash 

can help reduce breakageand shedding that occurs Natural hair absords every thing 

around it including oils, conditioner and water. Our hair is like a big sponge and can soak 

up the oils and conditioner into our hair shaft. 

Wet or Dry Hair?

This is really up to you as a natural, you will find that many will do either or. For me 

prefer to pre-poo my hair on wet hair. I find that my hair is more manageable when my 

is wet and easier to detangle in this process. 

How often should you pre-poo?

I pre-poo at least once a week for the most part. There has been months where I have 

not pre-poo but deep condition my hair using Essential Oils and Carrier Oils. This 

questions again is very suggestive because what  may work for my hair may not work 

for yours. Pre poo is beneficial as it has been prove to soften the hair and also provide 

a barrier for the damages that the wash process may cause. It is necessary to pay 

close attention your hair, because over time you will know what is requires this week.

Tips

To much protein can cause the hair to be brittle, hard and rigid, this in turn can cause alot of damage
to your ends and hair itself.

To much conditioning can cause the hair to be limp and fragile.

My experience:

I absolutely love using coconut oil in my hair, shea butter, aloe vera gel, olive oil and
castor oil. These seem to be part of my weekly staple products for the protection and
maintenance of my hair.

Although I have read most of these preventative methods, I must say I have tried them all.
I find that my hair loves conditioner and especially loves when I deep condition for a long time.
Yes, I do deep condition over night every few months, and deep condition for a few hours every
1-2 weeks depending on time and the protective style am wearing. When I first started my journey
I would deep conditiong every week and protein more than I probably should have. I used all
natural products and eggs for my protein. To this day I still believe that what may work for my
hair just may not work for yours and that is something we all need to discover. However basic
care such as:

• Keeping the scalp clean
• Protective styling
• Simple styles not too tight or pulling at the hair
• using a wide tooth comb
• detangling carefully before combing
• deep conditioning
• eat well, and live healthy

These are standards steps that seem to work for anyone natural or relax
