Preepoo-ing over cones

[VirtuousGal]

Howdie do ladies,

so this weekend I plan on pre-pooing with a henna/egg conditioner to give myself a nice protein treatment after my relaxer last weekend. But as of late, I have been using more cone products, like the boot leg Sally's version of Chi Silk Infusion. Would the treatment be rendered useless unless I do some sort of clarifying before the treatment? I thought of rinsing a water and baking soda solution through my hair, but I am really lazy when it comes to hair lately, and the less work needed, the better of I am, but at the end off the day I'll do the right thang! Whatcha think?

I'm not an expert, but I made the mistake of clarifying before henna once...BIG mistake. My hair was so dry and hard, it took weeks to get it back to normal. Hopefully someone who is more experienced will chime in

hmmm...point taken, that makes sense.

I never had that problem, I always claify my hair before I henna, because I don't want anything to interfere with the uptake of color. Then I rinse, co wash and dc.

I usually shampoo my hair before any type of treatment, so it can fully penetrate my hair. I wouldn't do it over cones. If you are worried about clarifying, maybe you can just use a regular shampoo.
