I need to be doing this but its so messy. I'm thinking of putting my oils in a spray bottle to lessen the mess and give me more desire to do it. I plan on prepooing after open house. Our anniversary is tomorrow and i want soft hair for the after party!!!

One of the keys to keeping down the mess is to put the oil in a color applicator bottle. I do have one of those Roots Only bottles but haven't used it yet. I squeeze some into my parts but not too much and rub vigorously. I do that all over, being careful not to use too much. Then I massage my scalp. This helps the oil to absorb some. Then I put some oil on my ends and baggy. I never get runniness anymore with this method. It also helps to use a thicker oil.

Did someone say challenge?!

We are a little more than halfway through with 2013, but increased moisture may be just what we need to increase our growth by years end... Might even add to our "summer spurts"!

Pre-poo = Pre-Shampoo Treatment/Conditioning

Pre-pooing is super beneficial to your wash/co-wash day!!! It helps with stripping and drying as caused by shampoos. It can also boost your co-wash session by adding increased slip and manageability. Some pre-poo by doing a HOT (Hot Oil Treatment)... Others pre-poo by steaming on dry hair with their favorite conditioner. However you pre-poo... Lets do it together!

Joining this challenge is simple...

1. Prepoo at least 1x monthly (1x weekly if you're really bout that life)...

2. Answer the following questions to join:

a) Current Hair Length
b) Relaxed/Texlaxed/Natural/Transitioning
c) Pre-poo Process/Products
d) End-of-Year Goal Length
e) Pre-poo Frequency? (1/week, 2/month, etc)
e) Most Recent Length Check Pic

3. Post your process each pre-poo session.

From each other we can learn techniques, processes and, my favorite, products!!!

Massaged and Prepoo'd yesterday with aloe vera gel, HBCO, cocoveda oil

 

[DarkJoy]

I wonder if it's beneficial to oil pre-poo before my midweek cowash. I usually do weekly on my 'full' wash days when I DC, etc. I guess it couldnt hurt?

 

[felic1]

Uhh, Monday morning I did my pre poo with Vatika Oil for 14 hours. I am obviously running late...

 

[DarkJoy]

Gonna see how a refined peanut oil pre-poo works overnight before a co-wash and DC in the morning. Finger detangling with the oil now. It's softening my hair the longer it sits. LOVE LOVE LOVE peanut oil!

 

[Killahkurlz]

I'd like to join this challenge. I've been using coconut oil and will probably continue to use only that. It always makes my hair so soft. I haven't done it over night yet. I'm going to try. It just means planning my detangling session a day early (`-_-)

 

[uofmpanther]

I liked the results of my last prepoo, so I'm at it again. I'm doing a prepoo of Darcy's pumpkin seed, grapeseed oil, castor oil, and honey. I'll probably leave it in for about 4-5 hours.

I did somewhat of a prepoo today... I drenched my hair in RBO (Rice Bran Oil) and applied HV Striniliah to my nape and edges. I have a love affair with RBO.

 

[AlliCat]

Pre-pooed with a mix of JBCO, grapeseed, and coconut oils before clarifying

Pre-pooing now with the last of my Moisture Maniac conditioner..applied oil mix just to my scalp.
