Welcome Sis. Glad to have you!

 

[curly caress]

I will be using various things for my Pre Poo: natural oils, pre made pre poo treatments and conditioners.

 

[KaciaLN12]

I would like to join!! I always prepoo with oils, but I have been using conditioner+oil to pre-detangle these last couple of weeks and I can tell the difference in moisture and the amount of shed and broken hair on wash day.

 

[Maracujá]

Count me in! Below is what I'm using:

The product on the far left is the pre poo and is the one I currently use...but...I would like to bump up to the one geared specifically towards Black women, as someone advised me here. But for now I'll just use this one up.

It's my third time using it, along with the exfoliating scalp mask on the far right. So far, so OK. The aim is to be consistent so that I can obtain the best result. Also took the time to trim my ends this time around. Always got great results using The Body Shop's Brazil Nut pre poo back in the days, hope to obtain the same results this time around.

Welcome Ladies!

Glad to have you both joining us!

My hair didn't really like the EVCO/castor oil combo.

Turned out more soft-adjacent than the softness I'm used to with my other prepoo combos.

I'm in!!!
Normally I use a homemade hair mayo consisting of Eggs, EVOO, ACV, tea tree, and honey or molasses (whichever one I have on hand).

In a pinch or if I’m washing my hair while out of town I will just use EVOO.

I would like to try The Mane Choice Pre-poo, since I tend to like a lot of her other products.

For me pre-pooing is a must. I’m not the type of person that does one long detangling session. I detangle throughout my wash regimen and pre-pooing is the 1st line of defense to assist with detangling. I normally pre-poo overnight, but in a crunch, I will pre-poo an hour or two before washing.

Pre-pooing does 4 things for me:

1. Detangles

2. Strengthens

3. Prevents hygral fatigue

4. Removes that 1st layer of dirt allowing my cleanser to work more effectively

 

[sunnieb]

Pre-pooing with EVCO and jojoba oil now.

I would like to join.
I pre-poo faithfully each time I wash.
Today I am using Annabelle's Pre-Poo Treatment under heat for 20 mins

Welcome Sista' Pre-Poo

 

[curly caress]

I used Annabelle's coco pre poo treatment and joico deep-penetrating reconstructor for 30 minutes under the dryer today.

 

[sunnieb]

Doing a prepoo with EVCO and vitamin E oil now.

I'm going to look into some of these prepoo treatments y'all doing.

 

[sunnieb]

Doing a prepoo now with EVCO and honey.

I'll cowash with WEN in about 20 minutes.

 

[VictoriousBrownFlower]

I use to be a prepooer but stopped a long time ago because I thought there was no need. This past wash I did a prepoo with coconut oil simply because I wanted to detangle b4 washing and there was a bit of gel on my hair that I wanted to soften up to detangle without causing damage. I actually really loved the results. It's inspired me to do it b4 every wash but I really want an herb oil to treat my scalp as well so I'm going to order some herbs from mountain rose next month and make a homemade herbal oil for my specific hair and scalp needs.

Welcome to the Challenge Sis.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Will Pre-Poo Overnight with:
Koils By Nature's Detoxifying Mango-Mint Conditioner

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Overnighted with:
KBN's Mangomint Detoxifying Conditioner (a little too thin/runny for a Pre-Poo Rx) had to wrap my head really well. *womp womp*

Will continue to use this as a Conditioner, which is what it is and works great for that....

 

[Rozlewis]

Pre-poo'd last night with The Mane Choice Halo Pre-poo. This stuff makes my hair feel so soft and it detangles like a dream.

 

[sunnieb]

Pre-pooing now with EVCO and vitamin E oil.

I'll rinse in about 20 minutes then do my weekly shampoo/dc routine.

 

[sunnieb]

I pre-pooed today with SHEA MOISTURE YUCCA & PLANTAIN ANTI-BREAKAGE STRENGTHENING MASQUE for 20 minutes under the dryer.

 

[Wanderland]

Used Naptural85 prepoo regimen of Aloe leaf gel onto scalp then oiling the hair (used EVOO and JBCO/rosemary). Made detangling a breeze.

Welcome to the Challenge Ms. Wander

 

[LushLox]

I used Mane Choice Heavenly Halo yesterday. I know I shouldn't but I did keep it in all day before shampooing out. My hair was feeling dry and I just needed a big moisture boost, this product is it. I won't leave it in my hair all day on a regular basis though, only occasionally. My hair is so soft and feels beautifully moisturised.

I'll have to ensure I always I have this, I cannot run out!!

May have been me, yes the Elasticizer Extreme is much better, the whole extreme range is quite good. I like his scalp products too.

Pre-pooed with coconut oil today. Haven't done it in over a year. I don't why I stopped.

 

[Sally.]

Can I join? After reading more about the science of black hair, I think its in my best interest to do an oil prepoo before every wash. I Prepooed overnight with coconut oil last wash and while my hair felt a bit strengthened, it left my hair feeling icky and hard to detangle. Maybe I left it on too long?

So yesterday, I prepooed with avocado/evoo oil. I only left it on for 5 hours but my hair still didn't feel as moisturized and smooth as it did when I used Chicoro's prepoo method or when I used a diy oil recipe.
