The Benefits of Pre-Shampooing

The Benefits of Pre-Shampooing

Pre-Poo Method:

Pre-pooing, also known as "pre-shampoo", is the process of applying a treatment to your hair before the actual shampoo process. This provides your hair with a protective layer. This is helpful because shampooing can strip moisture from your hair. 

Benefits Of Pre-Shampooing:

  • adds extra moisture
  • promotes softer, healthier hair and less breakage
  • makes it easier to detangle
  • boosts the effectiveness of conditioner

These treatments come in oil, butter, and gel form. Generally, the type of treatment used is based on hair porosity. These products help to strengthen the hair shaft and prevent hair breakage caused by heat, coloring, and chemical treatments. They can also rebuild damaged hair follicles, promoting hair growth and fullness. Along with strengthening the hair, they also provide a moisture boost for shinier, softer hair.

How To Use:

To maximize benefits, leave the pre-poo product on your hair for at least 30 minutes before shampooing. Once you’ve finished pre-pooing, wash and condition your hair as normal. Be sure to rinse your hair thoroughly to avoid product residue.
