loving this pre-poo treatment!

So, a long time ago I used to do an olive oil "pre-poo" treatment, and I stopped... I'm not sure why... but I recently started again and what a difference it has made! I know this is kinda old hat for this community but it really kinda blows me away that something as simple as olive oil can make such a difference with my hair. There's several videos on the naturally curly youtube channel showing how to use olive oil as a pre-treatment and I pretty much do it the same way they do, so I won't go into details here.
But I will share how it affects my hair!
My hair looks shinier and feels soft, yet there's awesome curl definition. My hair is currently fairly long, maybe an inch or two past my shoulders, and as such the bottom third of my hair is typically noticeably drier than the top two thirds. After using the oil, there's no noticeable difference.
So if you haven't tried using olive oil in your hair yet, I think it's definitely worth a shot, especially since it's so cheap compared to commercially made oil treatments!

I use coconut oil for my pre-poos and it's amazing. I'd really recommend you give that a go as it's one of the best oils to use on hair and so many curlies love it

I've tried coconut and argan oil so far. Still want to try olive oil and castor oil. I have a few others lying around I may try as well, or a mixture of some... see which works best. I absolutely love the treatment as well!

My main concern is how to get it out of my hair.... I've heard it causes drain clogs. How do you ladies deal with that? Do you just use drain treatment right after you wash the coconut oil out? Other than that problem I think I like it!
