How to Pre-Poo Texlaxed Hair

5 Comments

Pre-pooing or pre-shampooing is a conditioning step before shampooing. There are two ways to pre-poo, oil-only or conditioner. There is no limit to hair type or texture for pre-pooing and it is beneficial for everyone

Benefits of Pre-Pooing

Pre-pooing before shampooing will add additional moisture to dry hair and reduce breakage. It will add shine and luster to the hair. A pre-poo is also a means to protect the hair against the drying and stripping effects of sulfate-based shampoos.
I personally pre-poo for additional moisture when my hair feels a bit dry from under moisturizing the week prior. I also pre-poo and detangle to reduce the risk of break in the later step of my wash day process. Lastly, I normally use sulfate shampoos (addicted to the lather) and I pre-poo to protect my hair

How to Pre-poo

  • Determine which method is best
  • Apply the product of choice
  • Apply plastic cap
  • Sit under a dryer, steamer, or heat cap for a minimum of 20 mins (I prefer 30)
  • Remove cap and detangle if desired
  • Move on to normal wash day steps

Low Porosity Hair:
I would recommend an Oil Pre-poo with Grapeseed Oil or other light oil. A conditioner mixture with no protein to very low protein conditioner combined with oil.

What do I use to pre-poo?

Oil Only Pre-poo – I used Grapeseed Oil only and follow the step above.  My mix varies from week to week with conditioner; however, I always include Wheat Germ Oil. (I take allergy pills just in…wheat allergies) However, my favorite mix is JessieCurl Deep Conditioner.

    I love putting natural products in my hair. I haven’t used any commercial brands in a long time. I have changed to moroccan clay powder, aloe vera juice and some coconut oil. Coconut oil is like my favorite thing now!

    I’ve never heard of pre-pooing. I think it’s a great idea, but man do I not take care of my hair the way I should. So many great tips. Thanks for sharing with Creative Style!

      Thanks, April. Some say I’m hair-obsessed. I set a goal to grow to hip length and I did what I needed to make it.

    Scalp: APB Ayurvedic Oil, either Jason Vit E Oil/SSI Argan Elixir/Hairveda Cocasta Oil, & either tea tree/lavender/rosemary/peppermint/eucalyptus EOs
    Ends: Conditioner & oil (fav mix is APB Tangerine & Walnut Moisturizing Conditioner or Silk Dreams Destination Hydration with HV Vatika Frosting)
    Cap it all up and get under the dryer or heat cap for 15 minutes. Hair is usually like butter afterwards and scalp is tingly.

      Looks like you have a great pre-poos routine. I love anything Ayurveda.
