Like everything else it comes down to doing what works for you. Prepoo is a must for my strands. I don't like the extra step but my hair loves it.

[@namaste_charlei]

For the longest I prepooed with coconut oil but I have found that prepooing with fresh aloe vera or a fresh aloe vera/flax seed gel mix has dramatically reduced my wash day hair loss.

[@jsspald]

FACTS!!!! ALOE VERA has changed my hair routine so much!

[@jayvonlisa]

Yes I discovered this recently, flaxseed and fresh aloes is the business 👌🙌..best pre poo ever

None of these answers. Before I was using Avocado oil, but for the past year I used Aloe Vera gel (too lazy to peel and strip an Aloe Vera leaf) which made my hair softer and more hydrated at the end of my wash day. It was actually one of your older videos where you were using the Aloe Vera leaf that made me try it. I had the gel handy so I tried and glad I did. Team kinks! Thank you for sharing and educating us. God bless. Love from 🇨🇦

[@napfreedom2153]

Yeeeessss! One of my favorite wash day steps, coconut oil is my king!!!! Even better when I infuse it with henna and other aryuvedic herbs! When I do the oil prepoo overnight, I experience the best wash days ever. Other favorites are olive oil, and avocado oil. 💯💯💯❣❣❣❣ Yes! I use to much and that's my business 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Leah_Tewari]

Oooo I going to have to try this!

[@apara2005]

I never understood the point of a prepoo until I read a comment on someone else's video. That person said they do it as a way to detangle before washing to prevent breakage. I can understand that, wet hair is weaker hair. If you have very tangled hair it's better to do it on the drier side than soaking sobbing wet. As for me, my hair detangles pretty easily so I skip that extra step. But if my hair ever gets super tangled I now know what to do 😁🙏🏾.

I am not a 4c natural, but your videos and tips have helped me out in the beginning of my journey. I have been natural for about 7 years. My hair is the longest it has ever been. In the last year are two, my hair has become thin. My hair has never really been super thick.. So,, I had to come to the one that helped me in the beginning....I love your channel.

[@dideoluwasotubo6975]

Before I used to pre poo randomly but now it is a must cause wash day is so much easier when my hair already detangled. I also learned the hard way that my deep conditioner, and leave-in should not be the only thing moisturizing my hair. My favorite product is the Mane choice heavenly halo pre poo and Negas Banda Chebe pre poo treatment

[@tonya9206]

I also like Mane Choice heavenly Halo prepoo, I also use coconut oil. Works well for me.

[@wonderbutterfly3]

I use coconut oil to prepoo, but no longer do it overnight. I’ll throw it on 30mins-3hrs (depending on errands I have to run) and then let the warm water do the rest of the work. I also don’t rewet my hair to do the leave-in conditioner & cream portion. I put on leave-in conditioner right after I thoroughly wash out the deep conditioner, wait until my hair is damp, oil my scalp, & then use a cream to seal in my moisture.

[@kapparhotau181]

Yea I don't have time for overnight prepoo becuz I'm not doing my hair in the morning and it would be in my hair for 24hrs 🤣🤣🤣

[@patrecem.9523]

I do not pre poo. I wear my hair in twist outs and feel there’s no need for it. For me it’s just more shampooing I will have to do to get the extra oil or products off my strands. Running my hair under warm water and lightly finger detangling before adding my shampoo works for me.

[@marvinandjosh1]

All of this. Same.

[@mmm70]

Same.

[@Windgoddess78]

Same!

[@TULIP.1689]

I just comb my hair very well and then wash it use a store bought shampoo and conditioner (salon quality) and blowdry. I only need to use a serum at night when I roll my hair. My hair is always manageable and is healthy. IA about using all this stuff, it’s unnecessary. Getting quarterly trims and combing my hair regularly has solved the need to do all these different things.

[@ShadowOmbre]

4b wash & go natural here. I stopped pre-pooing last year when I looked into simplifying my regimen. It now takes me 1.5-2 hours and that includes diffusing until about 90% dry. Hygral fatigue was only a concern when shampooing, deep conditioning and air drying took 8-12 hours. Similar to the OP, I finger separate my coils in the shower right before shampooing. The water reactivates the products from the previous wash day. Super easy!

[@naturallydunn3325]

I prepoo every time I shampoo with oil. I also use the masque from My Natural My Choice. My hair loves it to help detangle 😊

[@jeanninegorden8142]

I keep my coconut oil in the fridge an apply it like grease. Cuts down on the mess and how much I use. I also recently boosted it with essential oils.

[@SunshineKK99]

My daughter has thick, dry hair! Prepooing was a game changer for her hair! I keep hearing and reading comments about how oil & prepooing is not healthy or necessary. I disagree!!!

[@beautifulicebergwithicecre9922]

Ap

[@JessicaTalitha]

I don't use any of these to prepoo to prevent hygral fatigue. It's not something people should really even worry about because it takes a lot to get hygral fatigue. A lot more than just washing your hair every 7-10 days needs to happen to experience it. It's really a result of leaving your hair wet for extended periods of time. Ex: wetting the hair every day, wet buns, even possibly air drying. Prepooing for hygral fatigue is just another added, unnecessary step that adds to the hours we spend on our hair.

It’s always the editing, voiceover, and music for me! I learned about prepooing from you back in 2018! It was everything to me! However, now I’m just a fan of a good warm water rinse before I shampoo! Not because of time, but because I don’t like adding to the products that I’m trying to get rid of! However, I’m very interested to see how it would be to add it back in for a month to fully compare things!

[@wisdomiskey8577]

Love your channel, love the scriptures you share

[@moonhoneymami]

I love your channel I used your tip to mix acv and conditioner and it changed my life

[@aTwistedSista]

Confession time. Years ago for about 3-4 months I used to prepoo because it was the wave at the time and all the natural hair girls with long hair were doing it. It never worked out well for me so I haven’t done it since. Now that I know more about my hair I realize it didn’t do anything good for me because I have low porosity and fine strands. It takes a good while for the water to get in there in the first place and once it does, it takes forever to dry. All the oil did was make wash day harder and my hair rarely turned out good because I probably wasn’t washing out all the oil so it was weighed down. Coconut oil and grapeseed oil were the worst offenders btw.

[@Kedesh14]

I too have low porosity hair along with five strands yet I can’t go without pre pooing because wash day will be a mess. My hair is significantly softer and retains more moisture when I pre poo. I guess this goes to show what works for one is not gonna work for all

[@veronicahaney6005]

Im 4c low porosity with fine-medium strands and it works for me. I even include castor and palm oil and leave my oil mixture in my hair overnight. however, i do wash my hair with raw african black soap and acv rinse, so that could be the difference.

[@katrinaroc5491]

I don’t prepoo for hygral fatigue, I think it’s suppose to be rare to get, mainly happens if your hair is wet for a prolonged time. I either use an oil to lightly detangle or flaxseed gel cause it keeps my hair soft and helps it not tangle in the shower.

[@trianna2008]

I prepoo purely because I prefer to detangle prior to washing my hair (switched to this after having to big chop following an aphogee protein treatment that strengthened my entire head into one loc lol). Even still, I hadn't noticed a difference with prepoos (oil or oil+conditioner). For the last 8 months or so, though, I've been making my own by soaking ayurvedic herbs- fenugreek and aloe- in water and blending with oil+guar gum. Not only provides a ton of slip for preepoing, I also notice much less hair lost during wash day and I've seen fantastic length gains since switching to this method. A bit more labor intensive than just grabbing an oil, but has had much better results for me and, since I like to soak a bunch at once and freeze in cupcake tins, I only have to do this every 2-3 months.

[@Ehlaar]

I pre poo to loosen up old product and heavy oils dirt and flakes. Because I’m thinking people use it to remove make up it breaks things down. If you put petroleum on the back of your hand and then a loose oil on top of it it breaks up the petroleum making it loose and easier for soaps to wash out. So if you use a loose oil in your hair before a wash it breaks up the buildup and makes it so that you can use less surfactants

I use a diy fenugreek & aloe pre poo with some oils blended in

I have never pre poo before but i want to start

Can you place the rice water in the fridge after it has soaked for 24 hours, to use it on your wash day? It would be held for a week

oil or grease...and my hair came out super soft. Then I use olive oil with my DC.
