What's Your Current Pre-poo Regimen?

[IDareT'sHair]

I'm still using Handmades (specifically made for Pre-Poo'ing).

I will also use a DC'er I wasn't overly thrilled about or wow'ed with and trying to use up.

I will probably get back to my Ayurvedic Oils this Fall/Winter.

@sunnieb
Thank you for bumping this thread.

I don’t prepoo with heat.... HOWEVER I’ll prepoo someone else’s hair with heat if they’re low porosity.

I’ll prepoo to finger detangle in one step. Prior to June I was prepooing with aloe vera leaves & henna sooq cocoveda oil.

In June I prepoo’d with Belle Bar Cairo. Currently I’m in box braids for the next 2-3 weeks and I’ll be prepoo’ing with Cairo {+ Aloe & cocoveda if im in the mood}

I prepoo'd my hair on wash day using, Shea butter mix and a Faith in Nature conditioner to detangle.

Current Regimen:
Overnighting on Dry Hair (Saran Wrap, Plastic Cap, Durag) *Used TMC Heavenly Halo Pre-Poo)

Pre poo'd with coconut oil and honey tonight.

I rubbed the coconut on my dry hair first. Then added honey. I put a dollop in one hand, wet the other hand, rubbed together, and massaged through my hair. Put on a plastic cap, wrapped a towel on my head and let sit for an hour.

Loved it! My hair was so soft when I rinsed it out. Followed with a WEN cowash and airdrying now.

Have you ever something tried something like a light oil and vinegar... let it soak in to detangle...

@sunnieb
Do you wanna start now? Or do you want wait for fall? I do one every wash day?

I say start now. I'm only 2 prepoos in. I need inspiration to keep going!

I take whatever conditioner I’m fancying, section my hair, and with a spray bottle detangle each section focusing on applying conditioner to my ends. I put a cap on and leave for as long as I have time. I think it works!!

 

[LushLox]

When I’m organised I’ll pre poo overnight, I get very nice results doing this. Or sometimes I will pre poo in the morning and keep it in my hair all day while I’m at work. The hair isn’t dripping with oil, it just looks like I thoroughly moisturised.

Lately though I’ve just been pre pooing for a couple of hours, I still get good results.

I like to use Philip Kingsley Extreme Elasticizer or Mane Choice Halo. I will sometimes couple this up with an oil mix or Amla oil.

Scalp treatment - Cantu ACV Root Rinse OR Komaza Care Pona Scalp Treatment

Very rarely will I add conditioner or detangler to my ends.

 

[Neomorph]

Recently I have been doing a scalp treatment with Heritage Rosewater Vinegar spray under a plastic cap for 30 minutes or overnight (if I have a nasty flare up of eczema).

When I go to blow out my hair I will also pre-poo with with Alikay Naturals Avocado Cream Moisture Repairing Mask.

 

[sunflora]

I generally just massage my scalp with JBCO and call it a day. Today, I was super tired and just put suave naturals on the ends to slide all the knots out. Hair came out feeling like silk - nice, inexpensive kicker, smells like strawberries :3

that's the one

Doing a prepoo with EVCO and vitamin E oil. I'll rinse in about 2 hours.

 

[Wanderland]

Reviewing that moisture drenched chicoro prepoo thread, mine is basically that. I'm sure I read that thread in the past and came to my current routine:
Divide into 8 sections, and twist removing shed hair. Dampen hair with tea mix (usually 1/2 AVJ + what ever tea/mix im brewing currently hibiscus/amla) . Then coat hair with olive oil, and sometimes use a scalp oil like NJoy's oil and get under a heating cap for a while. +/- If I'm feeling fancy I add conditioner and dc with heat or overnight. Same with scalp massage.
My last wash day I skipped the pre-poo step. It was a no go. Never again, I have to prepoo. I spent so much time detangling in the shower with my rinse out conditioner it felt like more manipulation and eventually hair lost.
