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.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

How to get rid of split ends in Natural Hair

  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2. Moisturize Your Hair • Use a Deep Conditioner : Regular deep conditioning helps retain moisture, making hair less prone to splitting. • Leave-in Conditioner : Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to maintain hydration throughout the day. 3. Minimize Heat Styling • Limit Heat Tools : Reduce the use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers. • Use Heat Protectant : When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant to minimi
