Pre-poo Ain’t Nothing, But A Hot Oil Treatment…
So, at some point in these 7 years of natural hair life I came across the term, ‘Pre-poo‘. It’s like one of those things that’s always in your face thanks to the innanet, but I really didn’t pay it much mind. Now, I know why. All ya’ll did was pull a Kardashian-Jenner, took an old-school technique and slapped an unnecessary name on it. Don’t lie like ya Mama’nem didn’t use a Hot Oil Treatment between relaxers… back in the dark ages.
