What is a good prepoo

[alona]

I want to start prepoo-ing because I shampoo with Aubrey Organics Island Natural Shampoo for dry/frizzy hair and it tends to leave my hair feeling stripped.

Also, once I'm finished with that bottle (because I'm not impressed) I plan to start using Creme of Nature poo and con.

What are your recommendations?

Sorry the AO IN isn't working for your shampoos. However for a prepoo I use AO GPB with shea butter and/or whatever oils I have around.

You are one of the first people I've heard that didn't like the Island Naturals shampoo- I had the exact same results so I stopped using it pretty quickly. My favorite prepoo is coconut milk with honey. I heat the coconut milk in the microwave for a few seconds so I can add the honey, shake it up and it melts easily for use on my hair.

Honey and olive oil is awesome!

 

[sugaplum]

The best mix I've made was Mizani MouistureFuse, EVOO, & honey.

 

[lkg4healthyhair]

I use Aubrey's GPB and love it.

 

[krissyprissy]

I use evoo or Aveda Sap Moss Pre-Shampoo Treatment.

[Hey Divastate, congrats on the new addition to the fam!

That honey and coconut milk sound interesting. What size can do you use? Do you use the whole thing? How long does the milk keep? I want to try this in my daughter's natural hair.

What are your recommendations?

I use warm evoo/a little Jojoba Hot Oil Treatment and VO5 or Suave conditioners. I'm going to start adding honey to this mix and see what that does.

However, the evoo/cond. combo has been working well for my hair.

Hth-

A good prepoo mix for me is Herbal Essence conditioner (for fine and limp hair) and whatever oil I have on hand. My hair is soft for an entire week.

Suave Milk & Honey Conditioner and EVOO

 

[miracle]

I use Burt's Bees Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Treatment mixed with warm EVOO.

 

[senimoni]

Olive Oil / Coconut Oil / Humectress and whatever else I'm in the mood for

 

[Jewell]

I did EVOO last week mixed with Nexxus Botanic Oil. It was okay. I think I would have liked the EVOO better by itself. Tonight I'm doing EVOO with honey added. I'll post my results tomorrow after I shampoo. I've also tried coconut milk and EVOO...I didn't see a noticeable difference in my hair.

 

[BobbieDoll]

I ususally use EVOO by itself or with Suave Tropical coconut conditioner. Tonight I used Tropical Coconut cnditioner and Suave Humecuant Condtioner.

 

[Nona Rose]

I use Burt's Bees Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Treatment mixed with warm EVOO.

Virgin Coconut Oil is a great prepoo treatment!

Oh, and since I'm in here, I love avocado oil, and extra virgin coconut oil for prepoo. I've heard good things about honey and olive oil, I'm thinking about givin that a try too.

 

[TresLeches]

I use Burt's Bees Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Treatment mixed with warm EVOO.

Protein Pre-poo: Aubrey Organics GPB

Moisture Pre-poo: Right now, Hairveda's Cochasta Shikaikai Oil on my scalp Agave (it's like honey) on my length. But I'm looking for a different moisture pre-poo method, idk we'll see.

 

[KinkyGenius]

I use Burt's Bees Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Treatment mixed with warm EVOO.

Is this a moisturizing product or more of a protein?

 

[BoaterGirlKim]

LeKair Cholesterol mixed with EVOO overnight. I shampoo with CON Kiwi & Citrus and quick condition with KMC for about 5 mins the next morning. My hair is moisturized VELVET.

 

[blackindia07]

Ive been mixing a ripe avocado, coconut milk, EVOO, honey, jojoba oil, vegetable glycerin, coconut oil, shea butter, aloe vera gel, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, castor oil and wheat germ oil and I swear it has worked miracles on my hair. Good luck!

 

[Fine 4s]

I enjoy coconut oil because it also helps me detangle!

 

[Salsarisma]

I mix AOHSR, EVCO,EVOO, Burts Bees Avocado Butter, a few drops of Avocado oil, and a dab of honey. It's usually too thick, and I add in Tresseme Moisture Rich conditioner to thin it out. My hair feels so silky and smooth afterwards.

 

[Vintageglam]

Coconut Oil
Neem Oil
Cheap creamy condish or Cholesterol

 

[Eluv]

Most definitely EVOO

 

[nymane]

Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut Conditioner

 

[Vshanell]

Hairveda Shikaikai Oil
Olive oil
Amla oil but it stinks

pretty much any oil or butter

 

[curlicarib]

I use coconut cream + what ever oils I have on hand. If I need protein, I'll also add a tablespoon, or so, of plain full fat yogurt.
