Prepoo ....Learn how to Prepoo your hair before washing!

 
What is a Prepoo?

A Prepoo treatment is usually an oil treatment applied to your hair prior to shampooing or conditioning.

Pre-poo is a fusion of two “words”. Pre and poo. Pre is a prefix meaning before and Poo is a short form for shampoo.

 It is simply what one does to prepare the hair before shampooing.

Yes, it's true that everything that you put on your hair before a shampoo will be washed away.

 It may be hard to see the point of doing this step in the first place. But let's remember that the process of washing the hair can be very stressful on your hair strands, especially if you are still using a sulfate shampoo.

In fact, there tends to be a lot of manipulation during the washing, deep conditioning and styling routine.

Doing a  pre-poo conditions the cuticle and gets it prepared for the manipulation.

HOW TO PREPOO

To pre poo your natural hair, you'll need to gather your products which includes the oil you'll be using to Prepoo and a spray bottle.

Begin by:

✔Detangling your hair and dividing it into four sections or more sections according to the volume of your hair.

✔Then apply the pre-poo oil of your choice to one of the sections. Start from the tips and go down to the roots. Do this for all sections one by one.

✔ Then cover your hair with a plastic cap, and let the pre-poo treatment sit for about 15-30 minutes.

✔Lastly rinse your hair, and then proceed with your normal shampoo wash.

BEST OILS FOR PREPOO...

BENEFITS OF PRE-POOING YOIR NATURAL HAIR

The top benefits of a pre-poo treatment is that:

 It helps to retain moisture lost through shampooing: By sealing your hair before you wash, you protect your natural oils. In turn, this strengthens your strands and helps to minimise breakage.

It also helps in detangling: Adding a pre-poo treatment to your hair gives you the slip you need to gently remove any tangles and knots before washing your hair making the strands soft and manageable while you wash.

Prepoo can aid in restoring and strengthening hair as well as length retention.

Try a pre-poo treatment before washing your hair!
