Pre-pooing is great! But have you tried oil-rinses? You’ll be amazed by them. Check out “don’t sleep on oil-rinses” thread on the Long Hair Care Forum. It is a quick and very effective method for conditioning and detangling hair.

When I was relaxed, I used to frequent a Dominican Salon weekly. Every 2-3 weeks I would get a hot oil treatment. Of course, I didn’t know at the time that it was called a Pre-poo. Honestly, I didn’t know about all these different terms (pre-poo, cowash, etc.) until I became natural. All I knew was that whenever I got a hot oil treatment my hair was always soft and super shiny.

When I finally decided to do the big chop, I continued to do hot oil treatments before I shampooed or conditioned.

I’ve made up my own concoction where I combined a lot of different oils. I pre-poo every two weeks. I think I may also start to mix my egg white pre-poo treatment and use it as a protein treatment once a month which it what I used to do when I was relaxed.

Happy Growing!

I am going to try the pre-pooing today I have some olive oil an another kind of hot oil treatment i’m going to mix those together. My hair is long and has been very dry but since i color treated it, it has become even more dry. So i will try this and get back and let everyone know how it worked for me.

I had never heard of pre-pooing before tonight. I will definitely be giving it a try to see how it works on my VERY THIRSTY hair.

This is so Funny…I am pre-pooing right now, but I use different pre-poos depending on the time of year. In the summer I use a mixture of honey, olive oil, eggs and a little mayo. The honey helps to draw moisture into your hair. Now that it is getting colder and there is not a lot of humidity in the air I am pre-pooing with pure coconut oil and an egg. I take about a table spoon of coconut oil, melt it in the microwave and then crack an egg in it and stir it up then apply it on damp hair. I then cover it with a shower cap and sit under the dryer for an hour. My hair comes out soft and shiny and less tangled! I love this prepoo. Enjoy bellas!

I just started the pre-pooing thing. First, I tried oils – and as we speak, I’m trying Burt’s Bees! IT SMELLS AMAZING! I’m waiting to see the results but just off the smell – Burt’s Bees Pre-Shampoo is fantastically spectacular

To anyone that wants to try coconut milk use Thai Kitchen brand. It is so thick it’s more like a thick cream than a milk. and it tastes SOOOO good with some raw honey…wait…i’m supposed to be mixing a pre-poo recipe not eating it!!!!!!
