What is Pre-Pooing?
A pre-poo is a hair treatment usually done before you shampoo your hair or just wash your hair in general. Its done to protect the natural oils in your hair that can be stripped while washing your hair.
When/ How often should you Pre-Poo?
I only pre-poo if I am about to shampoo my hair, so I personally do it about twice a month. I don't do this when I co-wash because I don't find conditioner to be as harsh as shampoo. Sometimes I do this when I need a little hair pick me up as well. I have found that people do this weekly, or everytime they are about to wash their hair.
What do you Pre-poo with?
I pre-poo with coconut oil mostly. I sometimes mix it with castor oil for growth retention or almond oil for extra moisture. Usually people pre-poo with some type of oil mixture.
Tip #1: For thicker hair--Whip up your oils with a kitchen mixer for a thicker mixture to apply to your hair. This also can provide more moisture as well.
