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.

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. ------------- Type: 3c/4a Natural Current Length: 6" Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair.

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! ------------- CHECK OUT MY PHOTOS! http://public.fotki.com/quietladyflash/ - My Fotki Album |

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  ------------- http://public.fotki.com/blackhoney112/hair_album/101505_.html - Hair album pw:Romeo |
