Hair Care: The Pre Poo Process

Hello Everyone!

After having box braids for a few months, it was time to treat my hair once I removed them. Hence a much needed pre poo. I usually pre poo my hair anyway, but today I'm going to share how I care for my hair.

What is Pre Poo-ing?

Pre poo is short for pre shampoo treatment which usually includes oils of your choice that are applied to your hair before shampooing. You can also add conditioner to your pre poo mixture. If you think about it, pre poo-ing is  basically washing your hair in reverse. 


How I Pre Poo My Hair

Ingredients and Supplies:

 

- Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula   
  Repairing Conditioner

- Spectrum Organic Coconut Oil 
  (Unrefined)

- Great Value Extra Virgin Olive Oil

- Bowl

- Spoon

Directions:

1. Place conditioner in bowl 

 

2. Place small amount of extra virgin  
    olive oil in bowl

 

3. Place coconut oil in bowl

 

4. Mix all ingredients together until  
    smooth

 

5. Lather scalp and hair with pre poo  
    mixture and place a shower cap on 
    your hair. When I took my hair out  
    of the box braids, I let the pre poo 
    mixture stay in my hair for an hour 
    and a half, but usually I let it stay in 
    my hair for about 30 minutes.

6. After I pre poo my hair, I wash my 
    hair with shampoo, and let my hair air dry.

 

7. After my hair is dry, it feels so soft and
    moisturized. I don't always want to pre poo my
    hair, but the results are well worth it.



Do you pre poo your hair? What products do you use?
