This trendy treatment can soften and repair your strands for better manageability and help you leave knots and tangles behind. It can also protect your locks from breakage and aid in length-retention.

4. Adds Shine
It is no secret that curly hair can lack shine. The natural oils our hair produces can take a longer time to travel down curly hair strands than straight hair causing natural hair to be more prone to dryness. Pre-poo treatments can help add moisture and shine to dry tendrils. Treatments that contain coconut oil are perfect for this because coconut oil is able to deeply penetrate the hair shaft locking in much needed moisture.
5. Detangles
One of the main reasons why wash day is dreaded so much is often due to the detangling process. The tighter our coils or kinks, the friendlier they are with one another. So, yes, detangling can be a process. Adding a pre-poo treatment to your hair gives you the slip you need to gently remove any tangles and knots before dipping your head under the water for your shampoo.
