Have any of you ever used AVG as a prepoo? I got that tip in my health newsletter. They said it is easy summer hair repair. I usually use AVG as a leave-in/gel or mixed in a deep treatment. I have 7 more minutes then I'm going to wash it out and see if I notice a difference.

Can you add it to your deep conditioners?  If so, what benefits does it have?  Just curious..

My hair came out very soft and fluffy. My only complaint is that my hair was a little frizzy but I think that's because my hair got so soft. I just put a bunch on my dry hair and left it on for 1 hour and then s&c normally.
Yes, I use it mixed in my conditioners but you have to be careful because it doesn't mix well with some conditioners. I don't know if it's the cones or proteins or what but it comes out with these stringy bits that you'll be pulling out of your hair for a while. I think using real aloe would probably work tons better and the store bought gel should be used as a hair gel but I don't like the smell of fresh aloe. It's just a really good natural hair conditioner. I live on an island and people with locks use it as a conditioner.

I think my new routine is going to be prepooing every time I shampoo. I'm about to prepoo with that V05 strawberries and cream that someone was raving about.

You know, I came across this oil called Ojon that is recommended as a prepoo treatment. It is actually a reconstructer that works best applied to dry hair first and then shampood out. I love the stuff. I also use it as an oil to seal in my moisturizers. I highly recommend this product!

I do mix aloe vera gel into my homemade hot oil prepoo mix and I love it becaue it is so moisturizing...it also defines curls but you should try it after you condition then apply your regular leave-in it leaves the hair feeling great
