Natural Hair Regimen and Pre Poo


Image found at: http://www.kisforkinky.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/20100418_142452_Naturally-Curly.jpg


I came across an excellent video that shows a quick natural hair regimen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOEk5BUq-HA (called "My Natural Hair Regimen"). I think I’ll be trying this on my daughter’s hair the next time we wash. I am ecstatic to learn more and more about natural hair.


I also found some interesting information on pre-pooing. Pre-poo is simply a pre-shampoo treatment; AfroBella covered this a few years ago: http://www.afrobella.com/2008/03/28/do-you-pre-poo/ and here’s a few other sites that talk about prepooing: http://www.darkerthanbrown.com/2011/04/how-to-pre-poo-natural-hair.html (has a prepoo video), http://www.themanesource.com/2011/05/27/the-power-of-pre-poo/, http://www.kisforkinky.com/2010/07/what-is-a-good-pre-poo-to-really-soften-natural-hair/ (prepoo recipe…I haven’t tried it so let me know how it works for you). Thanks! Tina

  1. I have a great pre-poo regimine, and I use it faithfully each time I wash: EVOO, Honey, Jane Carter's thick moisurizer (it's meant as a styling product, but is GREAT as a pre-poo). I apply it to damp hair using an applicator bottle. Cover with a plastic cap for about 30-45 minutes, and I'm ready to wash!

  2. Hello there! Thanks so much for your comment. You were the first one to tell me about pre-poo (where had I been?!). I will have to try this. But isn't Jane Carter's stuff expensive!!!!? You know me, always on a hunt for amazing, inexpensive stuff! :)

  4. Hi TravelDiva, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Go to YouTube and type in "natural hair regimen". You should see a video by ThinkandGrowChick that is 3 minutes and 55 seconds. Please let me know if that works for you. Here's the link that came up for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOEk5BUq-HA. Thanks!

  5. Tina,

    Thanks for sharing the video. Natural hair seems so cumbersome at times. Those are aloooooooot of steps... lol! Have you came across any simpler regimens? I have been struggling with finding a regimen that only requires thirty minutes from start to finish.
