I did my deep moisture pre-poo. On dry, dirty hair I apply a mixture of glycerine, whole leaf aloe vera, oil and some essential oils. I gave my hair a deeper shine. My hair looked better from root to tip, instantly.
After washing, I put on a similar mix with some added conditioner and Scurl and slathered on my Shea butter. My hair was super pretty! I decided to use my Shea butter infused with coffee bean oil. The coffee beans were infused in 1/2 sunflower oil and 1/2 olive oil. I let the beans soak in the oil from April to October 2019, for about 6 months of 'goodness'. I also have cacao butter in my Shea butter blend, too.
The cacao butter or cocoa butter is the other name, gives my butter a slight firmness and hold. It doesn't melt down as easily in the jar. I've been slacking on doing my Ends Routine.
I used Aphogee Two Step the last time I washed my hair. Since I have more thickness on my hair sections, the process didn't eat up or tear out any length. I still think my hair looked instantly better because of the pre-poo, though.
