So I got this email with the recipe for a pre poo that really moisturize. Chicoro talks about how it is very important to do a pre treatment before you shampoo. Since I was planning on staying up last night to sew a little or to see how my arms and hands would stand up to sewing. I thought why not try this out.
So this is the recipe.
Ingredients you will need:
So this is the recipe.
Ingredients you will need:
In a bowl mix
·
½ cup of aloe vera
juice or whole leaf aloe vera
· 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite oil
(wheat germ, olive, safflower, walnut etc)
In a separate Bowl
melt
· Food grade coconut oil
(1/4 cup)
· Sit the bottle or jar in hot water-
do not put in microwave or on the stove!
Remember, everyone's
hair has different needs. You may need more or less of this mixture. Or, your
hair may not like this at all. None of these will irrevocably change your hair.
Thus, you just need to wash out the mixture if your hair doesn't like it.
- Using your
fingers, separate your hair into 4- 8 sections. If your hair is caked with hard
product, rinse your hair first. Gently handle the first section. First, smooth
the hair in a downward direction. You are just trying to make sure that all the
hair is going in one direction. You don't need to completely detangle the hair
at this point.
- Dip your
hair in the bowl of aloe vera and oil or cup your hands in the mixture and
transfer it to the section onto your hair. Work it through. Get the aloe
vera/oil mix into your hair from root to tip. Make sure it is moist throughout
the sectioned hair. If your hair is long enough, twist it and wrap it around
like a bantu knot. If it is not, try to twist it and move it out the way. Repeat
until you have done this to each section.
- You should have a head full of aloe vera mixed with oil twisted sections. Go back to the first twist you did. Undo it, pour the liquid coconut oil in your hand and work through the section. Re-twist it and repeat on whole head. Place a plastic shower cap on your head for 15-60 minutes. Your moisturizing pre-poo is complete!
I am glad that I could past this email on so others could benefit and thanks to Chicoro for sharing.
Ladies love your hair and it will love you back.
As always thanks for reading, peace and love!!!!!
