Discover the power of pre-poo conditioning and why it’s the secret ritual your hair has been craving. Learn how this simple step protects, nourishes, and transforms your hair before shampooing.
At Soul Root Botanica, we believe that hair care is more than just a routine. It is a return to self. A quiet moment to connect with your roots. A way to feed your crown with the same intention that you feed your spirit.
And before you ever reach for shampoo, there is one powerful step that many overlook.
The pre poo.
What Is Pre Poo and Why Does It Matter
Pre poo is a deeply nourishing treatment applied before cleansing your hair. It prepares your strands to handle the wash without losing essential moisture. It softens. It detangles. It protects.
This is not a trend.
It is a tradition rooted in care.
A practice that honors the unique beauty of textured hair.
A step that tells your curls, I see you. I choose to nourish you.
What Makes Pre Poo So Transformative
When practiced with intention, a pre poo ritual can transform wash day. It strengthens hair, reduces stress, and creates space for deeper connection with yourself.
Here is what you can expect when you make it part of your hair care flow:
- Less breakage during detangling
- Softer, more manageable strands
- Better moisture retention after washing
- A healthier scalp with improved blood flow
- Curls that feel hydrated and look defined
But beyond the benefits, pre poo gives your hair a moment to breathe and be nurtured. That energy matters.

Our pre poo blends are crafted with intention and care. Every ingredient is chosen for its healing properties. From plant oils to ancient herbs, each formula is designed to restore balance and bring your hair back to life.

Steps:

Pre poo is beneficial for anyone who:
- Experiences dry or brittle hair
