Otherwise known as "pre-pooing", a pre-shampoo treatment is a protective remedy designed to add extra nourishment to moisture-starved locks.
What is a Pre-Shampoo Treatment?
Typically found in the format of oils, balms or butters, pre-shampoo treatments are applied to dry hair before shampooing with your regular cleanser.
They help to lock in moisture and hydration to keep hair healthy, soft, strong and shiny.
How Long Do I Leave a Pre-Shampoo Treatment In for?
A pre-shampoo treatment can be left on as little or as long as your hair needs. Normal hair will benefit from a 30 minute treatment, while very dehydrated or afro-textured locks could need a full day before your regular cleanse.
