Best pre-poo treatment ever!

I just wanted to share this with you all. I decided to wash my daughter's hair today and since I had not pre-poo her hair in a while, I wanted to give it a try. I normally pre-poo my hair and her older sister's hair.

She has very thick curly hair so I kept my fingers crossed that her hair will retain the moisturizing benefit that pre-pooing provides[/URL].

Here is what I mixed for the pre-poo treatement.
- Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque
- EV Coconut oil
- EV Olive oil
- Grapeseed oil
- Almond oil
- Coconut oil
- Jojoba oil

Valentine day style: Heart shaped bun

Results...
After letting the mixture sit on her hair for 30 mins (under a plastic cap), her hair was very moisturized.  It also gave her curls more definition and shine. Her hair also had a nice bounce to it and felt SO soft. I was amazed.
We will definitely be pre-poo this girl's hair.. ALL the time now. I will try doing this process when doing a "wash and go" still for her.

Other process done to achieve the style above:
- Shampoo with Creme of Nature Detangling and Conditioning Shampoo
- Deep Condition with left over pre-poo treatment mixture and Silk Elements Luxury conditioner
- Style with Coconut oil, BB Growth oil, Jojoba Oil, and Jamacian Black Castor Oil.
- To style:
       - Divide hair into two parts.
       - Do single flat twists on each side, working your way to the base of each part.
       - Attach a black ouchless hair tie to each side.
       - Two strand twist each pony  and create a curve in the middle of the head to form the top section of
          the Heart.  Keep the two twisted ponies together with bobby pins.
       - Attach pretty bow or ribbons.

    Thank you for the info, I really needed it because I didn't know where to start. My last relaxer was right before christmas so I wanted to start transitioning and pre pooing will be my starting point.(and get my refund back for the touch up I recently bought!)

      You're so welcome. Pre pooing is the very first step for any wash day.

Can Split Ends be Genetic?

Image
  @garshellm While split ends are often caused by environmental factors like heat styling, sun damage, and mechanical stress, there can be a genetic component to split ends as well. Some people may be more prone to split ends due to their hair's natural texture and structure, which can be influenced by genetics. For example: 1. Hair texture: People with fine or brittle hair may be more susceptible to split ends due to the hair's inherent weakness. 2. Hair porosity: Hair with low porosity may have a harder time absorbing moisture, leading to dryness and split ends. 3. Hair elasticity: Hair with low elasticity may be more prone to breakage and split ends. 4. Hair shape: Hair with a certain shape or curl pattern may be more prone to split ends due to the way the hair bends and stresses the hair shaft. However, it's important to note that genetics is not the sole cause of split ends. Environmental factors and hair care habits play a significant role in the development of split

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discovered a
