What is Pre-Pooing?

Hi Tresses,

​What the heck is pre-pooing you ask?

It's a method of conditioning, deep conditioning or detangling before you shampoo. It is done overnight or some time, like 30 minutes to an hour, prior to shampooing!

A hot oil treatment would fall in this category if you are wondering. This is where you apply oil to your ends and put on a heating cap and/or a cap and sit under the dryer.

I like to pre-poo overnight, prior to wash day, with mostly something or anything with coconut oil because it is known to penetrate the hair shaft, open the cuticle and allow more nutrients to get to the cortex of the hair when used prior to washing. Try our Trinity Glaze to pre-poo overnight!

Apply it to dry hair at night, concentrating mostly on the ends, detangle hair in sections, twist each section as it's completed (nothing fancy) and then baggy the hair with a shower cap or plastic shopping bag.

Layer a silk scarf or T-shirt over the cap and go to bed and wash your hair the next morning! Baggying creates heat circulation especially if the product has moisture in it which further allows the product to do its thing in your hair!

Some benefits to pre-pooing:
*You don't have to  detangle during the cleansing or conditioning process.
*Allows you to retain more moisture throughout the cleansing process.
*Hair is left super duper shiny!
