2012-05-27   When searching the web for tips about caring for natural hair, you have probably come across the word "pre-poo". The word itself is actually a short version of: pre-shampoo. That means that pre-poo is a treatment for the hair prior to shampoing it.   A pre-poo can be made of pretty much any product you would use in your hair to make it softer and more manageble before shampooing. Usually it is just conditioner, just oil or a nice mixture of the two.   But why do people do pre-poos? The answer is simply; a moisturizing treatment before shampooing the hair is a good idea because the shampoo process itself can be very drying and cause breakage, especially for the tender tresses of afros. Furthermore a thick, creamy pre-poo will make it easier to detangle your curly fro. Remeber one thing with pre-poos. The thicker the hair, the thicker your product should be. This is to give the hair nice slip and a nice creamy feel.   Try it and thank me later.   Dare to be naptural ladies!
