So I've been "pre-pooing" with oils (Jojoba or Vatika). I read on MTM's blog that pre-pooing with oil helps with single strand knots. I used to have single strand knots, but I didn't realize how many until now, now that I don't have any. Single strand knots are easy to get caught on other strands of hair, and typically end up (for me at least) getting cut out. Since I have started using oil prior to "washing" (I only use conditioner) I have noticed that I have not seen ONE single strand knot. So, if you suffer from single strand knots do try pre-pooing with oil. I think most oils are good, but the most common I have seen are Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Coconut Oil.
That's all I have for that. Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!!!!

How do you Pre-poo with oils? I have heard about this, but never followed up on finding out how to actually do it.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteMy preferred pre-poo is Jojoba oil. I usually part my hair into four sections. Oil the scalp of each part. Then I put about a nickel to quarter size amount of oil on each section. If I plan to stay in the house I put each section up in a clip, but if I plan to go somewhere I put my hair all in a large bun atop my head. I do all of this while my hair is dry. Then I leave the oil on for at least 15mins, but longer definitely doesn't hurt. Some would even say at least an hour or overnight. So far, 15mins works for me, but I've done longer and it surely doesn't hurt (I've done as long as overnight with Amla oil).
I've pasted a link below to the MTM's blog, and it's a youtube video about her pre-poo regimen. She uses a mixture of things, but for me the Jojoba Oil alone is working fine.

Hope this was helpful. If you try the pre-poo let me know how it works out.
