Soothe The Hair Struggles

INTRODUCTION

As the Rosymint product launch approaches, we want to share a fantastic hair care technique that can transform your natural hair journey: pre-pooing. This simple yet effective method can help you maintain healthy, hydrated, and manageable hair. In this blog, we’ll explore what pre-pooing is, how to do it, its benefits, and how it aids in detangling and managing natural hair..

WHAT IS PRE-POO

Pre-pooing, short for “pre-shampooing,” is the process of applying a treatment or conditioning product to your hair before washing it with shampoo. This technique is particularly beneficial for natural hair, which tends to be drier and more prone to damage. By applying moisture and nutrients beforehand, you can protect and nourish your hair before it undergoes the cleansing process.

HISTORY OF PRE-POO

Indian Culture: Traditionally, Indian women have used natural oils, such as coconut and sesame oil, as pre-wash treatments. They often apply the oils to their hair and scalp, leaving it on for several hours or overnight to nourish and strengthen their hair. This practice is deeply embedded in Ayurvedic traditions, emphasizing holistic health and natural remedies.

African Cultures: Many African cultures have long used oils and butters, such as shea butter and olive oil, as pre-poo treatments to protect and moisturize hair. These practices are often passed down through generations, focusing on maintaining healthy, vibrant hair.

European Practices: In some European cultures, women historically used conditioners or oils before washing their hair to combat the effects of harsh soaps and to maintain shine and manageability..
