Thumps up for more hair care tutorials!! I hope you enjoy this video and feel free to ask me any further questions in the comment section. I'd love to hear from you first, so please leave YOUR VIDEO REQUESTS BELOW!
Sheila Ndinda Please do more hair care tutorials. i live for your tutorials ❤️❤️❤️. i shed so much and i don't know what to do. can i use castor oil for prepoo?
A. Kendal I used to have the same problem until I introduced a coffee rinse into my wash day routine...don't use the coffee that is fully processed...there is a type that kinda looks ungrounded and is really good to deal with hair shedding, just boil ENUF for your hair depending on hair length, let it cool to a warm temperature, pour it on your scalp and strands before you condition your hair, let it sit for 30 min then proceed with wash days....this days I lose just a few strands of hair....
missnana simple..aloe vera gel the plant, apply the gel on your scalp then proceed to prepoo your hair, sleep with it overnight....also black Jamaican castor oil during your moisturizing day helps...
Linner Mibey wow thanks a lot. i will definitely try it. you did not mention if i were to rinse my hair or not after the coffee rinse. and please do you know if i can use castor oil for prepoo?
We almost do the same thing. I learnt in cosmotology school to do hot oil treatments on dry hair and sit with it for 20 minutes under the steamer. I use natural oils such a almond, olive or coconut. ☺👍
For my hair pre pooing I use the same steps as you but I use a mixture of pure castor oil, Jamaican black castor oil, tea tree oil and few drops of peppermint oil
I have never tried a prepoo. I will definately incorporate it. It's actually simple. Thanks Sheila. By the way, do you do henna treatments? If yes, I would love a video on it. ☺☺
Great vid Sheila...Love it! 💓. I switched from prepooing with oil to prepooing with a conditioner.I find that works better for my low porosity hair as oil just tends to sit on the hair and goes not get absorbed.
Thank you babe. The wonders of natural hair, I stopped using conditioner to prepoo ! It would just soften my hair but not prevent my hair from all that breakage when it expands and contracts when in contact with water. Maybe you could use a hooded dryer to help the oil get easily absorbed into your hair strands?
Argh I wish my hair would like coconut oil as it’s such a great detangler ! For my prepoo I use aloe vera gel on my scalp to get rid of product build up and moisturize my scalp, then I use jbco mixed with almond oil on the hair strands twist it all up in sections, wrap with a plastic bag and straight to bed ! I’m curious though, how long does it take you to apply your prepoo? I feel like I’m so slow at doing my hair 😱 Great video, thank you !
I love love argan life hair shampoo and argan life pure oil it worked for me it really cleans your hair and my hair is growing beautiful thick and I'm happy
Thanks to you Sheila ....my hair (tapered) and I are doing fine thanks to your amazing tutorials......but dead skin(dandruff) won't let me shine in corn rows.!!!!Help
Maybe u should do a video comparing wash day with no pre poo beforehand and wash day doing a pre poo beforehand. That will be interesting so we can see the difference (if there is any to see)
Aki I quit this natural hair manenos. This has been the longest 4 weeks of my life 😖. No one told me how hard it would be, and my hair has just refused to corporate. I'm not trying to discourage anyone, I guess it's just not for everyone. Anyway thanks for sharing.
Susan Njeri I used to think the same until I found a way to cut down on TLC for my hair while still maintaining the basics...I moisturize once a week, in the middle of the week, prepoo on Fri, wash on Saturday...and the hair manenos end there....just leave your hair be as long as it's moisturized...it will grow...and the shedding of hair reduces tremendously once you significantly reduce the number of times your hands are in your hair...lol
Linner Mibey thanks for the tip, I'll try it out. I'm also having trouble finding "my look" (taking head shape & size, hair length & type into consideration) so I'm really not confident with my natural hair. Sad but true.
Susan Njeri lol....you must go through the awkward stage to get to the better lengths...lol....for this stage ad just say rock the hell outta that fro!!...big loops and nice makeup would do the trick....:)
Woiye!! I'm so sorry you feel that way. This natural hair journey requires a lot of special attention, time, care and patience. It gets so much easier when you understand your hair, learn it's characteristics and when you stop comparing it to other peoples hair because this is your journey! Just find time and learn to care for your hair, show it some TLC and it will flourish.
weeelll.. let me just say..I made the decision to go natural YESTERDAY and currently doing research, and ended up on this channel and so far,has been the most helpful.. but,here's the thing.. I am soooooo confused about what products to use and honestly, what's what.. There's butter,oils,conditioners.. but I really don't know what to use..which products do I need? please help me...
Since I've been natural I haven't done a prepoo treatment. I should try it one of these days because it was beneficial to my relaxed hair, I'm assuming it'll also be like that for my natural hair.
One day I shall give you my head you do all these things Sheila. Love how juicy and healthy your hair looks. I am too lazy to do a pre poo these days. I was faithful in my early natural days but I can't be bothered these days.
Sheila Ndinda my first wash is usually either a shampoo bar or black soap then conditioner for wash two. I don't pre poo but I always D.C. after each wash so I guess that helps.
Thanks for the lovely vid. I use a mixture of castor and cocnut oil to prepoo.I also pre-heat it.I have a problem though because it keeps running down.
I heard that when u put oil on ur hair it doesn’t allow any other moisture to go through and since oil and water doesn’t mix how does this go when it’s time to wash ur hair? Like from ur experience, when u are washing ur hair does it Greek like the water washes out the oil or does it just stay in their and feel silky the whole time cause if it can wash out and the ur actual hair gets the washing from shampoo conditioner and stuff that’ll be good but idk it contradicts itself.
i love your hair care tutorials. i mean your hair is goals. i had one request can you do a hair tutorial for 3 c like; the products to use, managing it and also how to get a nice afro look. also how to give you hair that dark rather deep black hair.
Thank you Ivy. Unfortunately, I cannot be able to because my hair texture is not 3c. What is more important is analysing your hair characteristics like your hair's Porosity. This will help you in buying products that cater to your hair needs.
I use coconut oil too n spray some water into mine cause mine tends to be hella dry hehe any tips on maintaining moisture in hair would be really appreciated by your fan here🙏. you've got beautiful thick hair miss💖💖💖💖
Rose Betty Make sure you seal in the moisture using an oil or some butter/cream. Remember water or any water based product is your moisture. You want to also deep condition your hair every week during wash day so that your hair is able to retain the moisture. Tie a satin bonnet or scarf overnight.
I'm not sheila and you may not value my opinion but just know some of the products you use may not work on your hair. However, it's a long process before you actually find what works. I'm a treseme, grape seed oil, shea butter sulphur grease and aloe gurl
now now,this journey aint easy,am one and a half year down and their aint much progress when it comes to length. i want clarification Sheila,a breakdown of all this procedures,in a span of half a year,lets say,incorporating a protective style within the 6 months,lets say braiding. What procedures do you ensure you've done,i.e, deep conditioning,clay masking bla bla,protein treatments,how you take care of your hair under protective hairstyles,daily regimen etc,please break them down especially to newbes.
I went natural on November 2016 bcaz my hair was not growing due to chemical damage.Three months ago, I blow dried my hair and it got heat damage. so am asking,,,,,, nikitaka kusongwa,, lazima nifanyiwe straightening with a blow dry or there is a way of straightening hair without heat???? and if so could you please take us through the process and the products to use. coz blow dry aki inaharibu nywele zetu waafrica.
Hey Sheila which shampoo can I use during wash day I have been advised to use one that doesn't have sulphate because it causes hair to shred a lot and the one I currently have has it and I noticed my hair has really reduced in volume for the past four months especially at the back
Diana Mukuna ,hello probz cantu, au naturale..many natural brands..pop into best lady(if you live in kenya) and just survey,you wont lack..but if you are on a budget,girl,mikalla is something 🙌🙌it is not sulphate free but its low on sulphate,that can work for start us.. Its worked for me
Diana Mukuna tresemme naturals moisturizing shampoo....900ml goes for 795 at tuskys imara and I have used mine for 6 months now since i went natural....it lathers so much that you just need very little to properly wash your hair...:-)
Diana Mukuna hi Diana, you can purchase the bentonite clay shampoo bar from Bu.ke products ( check them out on Instagram or Facebook ). Sulphate shampoos are not bad for the hair if used sparingly and only when you need to clarify your hair.
Thanks for the video... I always do hot oil treatment and on my scalp I use aloe Vera gel. Have you ever done Henna treatment if so.... have a video for it.
Hey Sheila, I recently decided to go natural but i 'm a little confused on whether i need to shave off my hair because i permed it last year October but since then i have been micro braiding and i just took off my braids and i did the prepoo..what would you do?
Hey Susan, congratulations on making this decision. Now you can either shave/chop off your relaxed ends or choose to transition to natural. What I mean is, you would have to let your hair grow until the length you are comfortable with, then cut the relaxed ends at that point. From your comment I can tell you are already transitioning. If you are able to manage your hair at this point then you can continue transitioning but remember to take great care of your hair to avoid breakage. This articles will help you get started. www.africantressesandtreats.com/the-big-chop-vs-transitioning/#more-771 www.africantressesandtreats.com/steps-to-guide-you-on-your-natural-hair-care-journey/
How do you keep your hair so soft? i can't seem to contain my hair plus it's so voluminous i have difficulties combing it even when wet/conditioned. What do u suggest? How long have u been natural also? I love how u can maintain ur hair. I see it didn't shred off much, mine shreds off a lot whenever im working on it. In fact I need a whole daily hair routine😕
hi I had the same problems..my solution was trim weak ends which tangle hence breakage...before combing try detangling using fingers and take you time...I would always moisturise my hair before and after bed..use shampoo without paraben and such chemical..avoid sleeping with open hair..give your hair time to breath btwn protective style..avoid heat on hair.massage scalp regularly.i was my hair twice a week..use big tooth comb..and from root going to sculp.avoid lots of products in hair....hope I said something helpful and goodluck
What's your hair routine ? How often do you moisturize. Have you identified your hair's porosity, is it low or high? This will also help you to buy products depending on your hair needs. When you understood what your hair requires for a successful hair journey then caring for your natural hair will become a lot easier for you. Read this article for more info www.africantressesandtreats.com/steps-to-guide-you-on-your-natural-hair-care-journey/ I've been natural for 3 years now.

How to deal with itchy flaky scalp
A.

Not just u
We almost do the same thing.
I learnt in cosmotology school to do hot oil treatments on dry hair and sit with it for 20 minutes under the steamer.
I use natural oils such a almond, olive or coconut.
☺👍
For my hair pre pooing I use the same steps as you but I use a mixture of pure castor oil, Jamaican black castor oil, tea tree oil and few drops of peppermint oil
I mix my coconut oil with shea butter and olive oil heat ,melt it and apply it and let it rest overnight.
hello! I like to prepoo sum ppl thnk it's pointless but it works for me & I use olive oil to prepoo! 🌼🌻🙄 tfs!
coily kurlz how do you use olive oil to prepoo ? You heat first ? And is it the pure olive oil
I love how short but informative your videos are
very helpful..now I know prepoo..
I have never tried a prepoo. I will definately incorporate it. It's actually simple. Thanks Sheila.
By the way, do you do henna treatments? If yes, I would love a video on it. ☺☺
Great vid Sheila...Love it! 💓. I switched from prepooing with oil to prepooing with a conditioner.I find that works better for my low porosity hair as oil just tends to sit on the hair and goes not get absorbed.

It would just soften my hair but not prevent my hair from all that breakage when it expands and contracts when in contact with water. Maybe you could use a hooded dryer to help the oil get easily absorbed into your hair strands?
I use a mix of coconut oil, avocado oil and essential oils to promote hair growth
Which essential oil darling?😘
Hi Sheila, please do a a wash routine before protective styling. Thanks.
I love your videos.
Argh I wish my hair would like coconut oil as it’s such a great detangler ! For my prepoo I use aloe vera gel on my scalp to get rid of product build up and moisturize my scalp, then I use jbco mixed with almond oil on the hair strands twist it all up in sections, wrap with a plastic bag and straight to bed !
I’m curious though, how long does it take you to apply your prepoo? I feel like I’m so slow at doing my hair 😱
Great video, thank you !
Thanks Ndinda. I m new to taking care of my natural hair thanks for the tips. I appreciate your help!

Hi Everlyne... Kindy do a sugar scrub it will help you. And remember to moisturize your scalp too
@@norahseini6793 hey how does one moisturize the scalp?
Thank you so much for explaining what it was. I’m so tired of not understanding things 😭
thanks for the video. I use Jamaican castor oil and I recently bought the coconut oil so I will definitely try it on my next wash day.
Maybe u should do a video comparing wash day with no pre poo beforehand and wash day doing a pre poo beforehand. That will be interesting so we can see the difference (if there is any to see)
Great idea, Thank you for your suggestion.

GOD bless you all 🙏
Since I've been natural I haven't done a prepoo treatment. I should try it one of these days because it was beneficial to my relaxed hair, I'm assuming it'll also be like that for my natural hair.
Try it girl!! Your hair will thank you.
Wow this is definitely worth the try. Thanks for sharing ❤

hahaha what do you mean by being lazy ? You do''t even use conditioner to soften your hair ?
Sheila Ndinda my first wash is usually either a shampoo bar or black soap then conditioner for wash two. I don't pre poo but I always D.C. after each wash so I guess that helps.
thank you for the video.i was actually looking for a simple pre poo method.would you please add more videos of protective styles
Constance Makipa you are welcome my dear!! Stay tuned for more of those videos!
Wow if that’s dry & dirty my hair must be beyond repair
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the lovely vid.
I use a mixture of castor and cocnut oil to prepoo.I also pre-heat it.I have a problem though because it keeps running down.
Try not to use a lot of oil. You can also tie a long sock around your hairline to prevent the oil from running down.
Lovely thank you!
I heard that when u put oil on ur hair it doesn’t allow any other moisture to go through and since oil and water doesn’t mix how does this go when it’s time to wash ur hair?

I used coconut oil before I shampoo
i prepoo with multi purpose oil by aunt Jackie. Sheila Ndinda what is your hair porosity, please do a video on that.

Hi Sheila, im transitioning, im almost 4 months on my journey. Please advice, can i prepoo on transitioning hair. I value your opinion. :-)
I'm not sheila and you may not value my opinion but just know some of the products you use may not work on your hair. However, it's a long process before you actually find what works.
I'm a treseme, grape seed oil, shea butter sulphur grease and aloe gurl
Hi Sheila. I use extra-virgin olive oil for my prepoo. What do you think?
olivia lakte You can still use Olive oil. It easily penetrates into our hair strands.
Hey girl your hair initially, the sides were shorter than the top. But now it's even, how did you do that
It just grew out, but it's still not even. My sides and back are still relatively shorty. Also I experienced abit of breakage around my hairline.
thank you
now now,this journey aint easy,am one and a half year down and their aint much progress when it comes to length. i want clarification Sheila,a breakdown of all this procedures,in a span of half a year,lets say,incorporating a protective style within the 6 months,lets say braiding.

Where did you get it, the coconut oil I mean.
Can you use hair moisturizer for prepoo as long as it has conditioner in it?
