Pre-poo, stands for pre (sham)poo, so before shampoo. So it is a treatment that you do before you wash your hair. You use products that moisturize your hair, such as an oil or deep conditioner. You let it soak in for a while, before you wash it out and shampoo your hair. During washing your hair is affected because the hairs move against each other. This can cause the hair cuticles to disappear, making your hair dry and brittle. With a pre-poo you make sure that the cuticle of your hair has an extra layer of protection. In addition, it gives your hair some extra moisture. The result after a pre-poo treatment is therefore: soft, shiny curls without frizz!
