do you lose a lot of hair when you wash? try a pre poo

[locabouthair]

I've been on this forum for a while and I heard about pre pooing a lot but I just never bothered with it. It wasn't until I started getting a lot of breakage that i decided to do it weekly. Last night I washed and DC'ed. but I didn't use a pre-poo because it was late and I wanted to hurry up and do my hair. so I noticed when I was washing my hair I had hair all over my hands. And I'm thinking hmm, I didn't have any breakage when I combed my hair earlier so what's this about? plus I've been washing my hair myself for the past two weeks and I never had this problem. Then it came to me! The last times I washed my hair I did a pre poo with amla oil and dove conditioner. and I didnt last night and the other times I lost a lot of hair when I washed.

I have heard that people use pre poos to prevent dryness from the shampoo, but I never heard that it cuts down on the hair you lose during the washing process.

This is just a revelation I had last night. This is something I am going to be doing weekly now. I've been on this forum for two years but I am now starting to realize what my hair needs and likes. hopes this helps someone.

I agree, when I just shampoo my hair gets tangles and thats how I lose most of the hair but when I pre poo it's softer and less likely to tangle therefor I lose less hair.

I too have realize that. It is a big help. Now I am trying dc before shampooing to save time. I will see how that works.

I am really going to have to start pre-pooing (have'nt tried it yet). I always have some breakage when I wash my hair and if pre-pooing will help with that I am all for it! What are some good pre-pooing products?

I pre pood for the first time today using lekair cholesterol, there was not one hair in that sink. I followed my CON wash with a one hour deep condish of keracare and pc mixed, and finger combed. I did not see one broken hair during my wash and plait today.

Ladies listen to her. I'm under the dryer right this very moment and I just went through the same thing .

After washing, I noticed my hair was very soft, hardly no strands in my hands and very easy to detangle before I rinsed. Then, I washed a 2nd time...TOTALLY different, MANY more stands, hard to detangle (while shampoo was yet in the hair) and hard and stiff feeling.

I to realized it was the prepoo (Dove and humecto) that made the difference.

I will not wash before pre poo'ing anymore.

A prepoo is when you put oil or conditioner on the hair before you shampoo it.

A few questions on things Im confused about:

1. Do you prepoo on dry hair or wet hair?
2. How long do you leave the product on?
3. Is there a need to pre-poo if you co-wash?
4. Do you still DC afterwards? (So Pre-poo/wash/DC?)

Thanks SO much in advance ya'll... I havent learned all the language on here yet.

I feel you might be on to something here I normally sleep with the oils etc and then shampoo but last night I used tresemme conditioner on my dry hair and coat the whole thing and then proceed to wash and there was a huge difference I'm definitely doing this from now on I barely lost any hair! thanks chica

This is what i do too. sometimes I leave it in overnight, or maybe for about an hour. I do it on dry hair. This is going to be permanent part of my regimen.

hi welcome to the board! a pre poo is when u put conditioner and/or oil on your hair and let it sit for a while and then u wash it out. I do mine on dry hair, and sometimes leave it overnight, or for just about an hour.

 

[GodsPromises]

1. Do you prepoo on dry hair or wet hair? Dry Hair

2. How long do you leave the product on? An hour to all day

3. Is there a need to pre-poo if you co-wash? I'm not sure

4. Do you still DC afterwards? (So Pre-poo/wash/DC?) Last night I didn't.

Last night I tried a pre-poo, shampoo and a quick conditioner in the shower. My hair was so soft and felt so good I am going to try it again next week.

Thanks locabouthair! I am going to have to try that next week when I wash.
