Curl Care: What is a Pre-Poo Treatment and why do my curls need it?

Pre-poo is short for pre-shampoo, and it is an essential step in curl care that involves prepping your hair with a treatment before shampooing. This offers numerous benefits, including strengthening and softening the hair, as well as making your curls easier to detangle.

By incorporating a pre-poo treatment into your routine, you can protect your hair and reduce breakage, ensuring your curls stay healthy and hydrated.

• Strengthens and softens the hair: A pre-poo treatment infuses your curls with essential nutrients, making them stronger and more resilient. It also softens the hair, giving it a smoother, more manageable texture.
• Eases detangling: Pre-poo treatments aid in detangling your hair, helping to reduce breakage and makes your wash and style routine more manageable.
• Protects against moisture loss: Shampooing can strip your hair of its natural oils. A pre-poo treatment creates a protective barrier, preventing your shampoo from stripping away essential moisture.

Our Nourishing Hair Oil is ideal for deep nourishment and scalp health.

The Deep Hydration Hair Mask is perfect for intense hydration and repair.

Our All Curl Conditioner provides excellent moisture and slip.

Divide your hair into sections to ensure the product is evenly distributed.

• Nourishing Hair Oil: Apply on damp or dry hair.
• Deep Hydration Hair Mask: Wet your hair first for maximum absorption.
• All Curl Conditioner: Apply on wet hair for extra slip.

Use a wide-tooth comb or our gentle Denman Brush to detangle each section, and ensure the product is evenly distributed.

• Hair Mask: Leave on for about 20 minutes.
• Conditioner: Leave on for a few minutes before shampooing.
• Hair Oil: For best results, leave on for 1-2 hours, or even overnight for a more intensive treatment. 

With the Hair Oil, try using a scalp massager to gently massage the oil into your scalp, to exfoliate and help promote healthy hair growth.

After allowing the pre-poo treatment to sit, rinse thoroughly. Follow with the Only Curls Cleanser, Conditioner, and your usual styling routine. Ensure you rinse well after conditioning to avoid any product residue.
