Pre-Poo: What Is It and Do You Really Need It for Your Hair?

Do you think pre pooing is an unnecessary step? Many naturalistas feel the same way but pre pooing can literally cut your wash day in half and help you achieve healthier hair. In this blog post, we'll explore the concept of pre-poo, what it entails, and whether it's truly beneficial for your hair. Discover the ins and outs of pre-pooing to make an informed decision about whether it's a step you should incorporate into your routine. 

Understanding Pre-Poo: What Is It?

Pre-pooing refers to the practice of applying a treatment or oil to the hair before shampooing. It acts as a protective barrier, preventing the harsh cleansing agents in shampoos from stripping away the natural oils and moisture in your hair.

The Benefits of Pre-Pooing

• Pre-pooing is an excellent method for retaining moisture. By applying a moisturizing treatment before shampooing, you create a barrier that helps seal in moisture during the cleansing process. This helps to combat dryness and keep your hair hydrated, resulting in softer, more manageable curls.

• One significant advantage of pre-pooing is its ability to detangle with ease and reduce breakage. The treatment applied during the pre-pooing process adds slip to the hair, making it easier to detangle and minimizing the risk of breakage. This step is especially beneficial for natural hair, which can be prone to tangles and knots.

• Pre-pooing can make your hair more manageable by softening it and improving its texture. This allows for easier styling and reduces frizz, making it simpler to achieve your desired hairstyles.
• Perfect to use after taking out your protective style. Helps to remove your shed hair and detangle with ease.

 When Pre-Pooing May Be Beneficial For You

While pre-pooing can benefit many hair types, it may be particularly advantageous in certain situations. If you have dry or damaged hair, struggle with tangles or knots, use sulfate-based shampoos, or have a low-porosity hair type, pre-pooing might be worth considering. Assessing your hair's unique needs and challenges can help you determine whether pre-pooing is right for you.

Different Pre-Poo Methods and Products

Pre-pooing allows for flexibility in terms of the methods and products you can use.

How To Use Our Fenugreek Detangling Pre Poo:

• Start with dry or damp hair: Before applying the pre-poo treatment, make sure your hair is dry or slightly damp. This allows the product to penetrate the strands effectively.

• Divide your hair into sections: This will make the application process easier and ensure that the pre-poo treatment is evenly distributed throughout your hair.

• Apply the pre-poo treatment to dry or damp hair. Take a small amount of the pre-poo treatment and apply it to one section of your hair at a time. Start from the roots and work your way down to the ends. Use your fingers, detangling brush, or a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly.

• Allow the treatment to sit: After applying the pre-poo treatment, let it sit in your hair for the recommended duration specified on the product label. This could be anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. You can cover your hair with a shower cap to enhance the treatment's effectiveness.

• Rinse and shampoo: Once the pre-poo treatment has had enough time to work its magic, rinse it out thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow up with a clarifying shampoo or gentle sulfate-free shampoo to remove any residue from the pre-poo treatment. Continue with your regular conditioning routine.
