Hair Chronicles: Pre-Poo

Leave a comment Standard

Welcome to Hair Chronicles.

I love doing my hair, but I’m not a licensed Hair Stylist, even though I can style hair.  But as far as hair treatments, coloring, even cutting, I have no license so take my advice with a grain of salt.  Nevertheless, everything I will post is what has been best for my hair via my experience.

Today we’ll look at a popular step called: Pre-poo

I personally didn’t know what this was until I accidentally went natural years ago.

My mom is natural, but I’m relaxed again, so she has more experience with the pre-poo treatment.

Basically, Pre-Poo is just what it is, before shampoo.  It’s the preparation of your hair before you use shampoo. Shampoo can make the hair dry, but also sometimes our hair just gets dry own it’s own, because of the elements of the air and weather.

So, what I did this weekend – My first pre-poo treatment

You can use any water or oil base conditioners or even just oils.  I used my oil concoction that I use to seal my ends.

I drenched my entire head root to ends and let it sit under a shower cap.

I think I let it sit for a few hours, but my hair was soft and my hair really absorbed the oils.

Now, I should have washed my hair, but I didn’t feel like it, so I just decided to  just let it be and bun my hair up or just flat iron it in the morning for work.

After the pre-poo process, notice after your shampoo how soft your hair will get and it’s easier to detangle, as well.

Just try it and your hair will thank you.  And also feel free to google pre-poo, because there is lots of info out there and other blogs and sites may have recipes and their own spin on the process.

So, if you try it, let me know how it went below

xoxo,
