What is a pre-poo?

A pre-poo is usually an oil treatment applied to hair prior to shampooing or conditioning. While most of these treatments can be oils of your choice, some women create other treatments from household pantry items. If you have tried treating your curly hair to an olive oil, mayo, or yogurt pre-poo, you may realize that some of these tend to weigh them down. While nourishing your waves before wash day is important, make sure you are using the oil or treatment you use is appropriate for your specific hair type. The typical pre-poos include coconut oil, olive oil, bananas, and honey. When used alone, these are ideal for high porosity curly or kinky hair. For your waves, try one of these products for optimal scalp hydration prior to washing your hair.
