Together with the hairdresser Aldenice Nunes, this article is full of tips and recipes for you to learn how to make homemade pre-poo, learn about its benefits and its contraindications. Check out!

What is homemade pre-poo?

The pre-poo or pre-shampoo is a homemade combination of products that protects your hair! It is exactly what the name implies: “pre-poo”, that is, the step before shampoo. With the daily routine, washing your hair becomes something very automatic and we can forget about details that make all the difference. In this case, the detail is to apply the shampoo only at the root of the hair. Once this is done, we must also protect the hair extension when rinsing.

This is exactly what pre-poo is made for. It should be applied to the extension of the strands before washing, as it serves to prepare your hair for shampoo application. The result of this protection are softer, full-bodied, hydrated and strong wires.

Benefits of homemade pre-poo

Hairdresser Aldenice Nunes talks about the benefits of treatment prepared at home. Here are the main ones, check them out below!

• Protects hair extensions and ends from the chemical components of shampoo, including sulfate;
• Ensures that the hot water from the shower does not damage the wires;
• Provides hydration to the hair;
• Prevents drying of the ends;
• Leaves hair stronger, softer and shiny;
• It helps to add more body to the hair, preventing split ends or breakages.

She also highlights that pre-poo is “something very simple to do, it doesn’t weigh on your pocket and doesn’t take a lot of time, but it has several benefits for the hair.”

Cautions and Contraindications

According to Aldenice: “The care to perform the pre-poo involves the details of each type of hair. For example, oily hair needs more attention at the ends, while drier hair needs care in the middle and ends”. There is no contraindication for homemade pre-poo, only more personalized care.

A valuable tip given by Aldenice is to always comb your hair very well after applying the pre-poo. The recommended thing is to pre-poo before every wash, but 3x a week already has a satisfactory result. Even if applied just 20 minutes before the bath, it already offers more protection! According to the hairdresser: “the homemade pre-poo is suitable for all types of hair, but those that have gone through a chemical process ask for a higher frequency and are worth the time invested!”.

How to make homemade pre-poo

Pre-poo is very simple, the combinations can vary a lot, but the base is a mask or cream combined with another product more specific to your hair, such as aloe, honey, vegetable oil, among other options. And best of all, you don’t have to make the recipe every time you wash. Make and store your little mix in the fridge, and it should last for 1 month.
