COCONUT OIL or CONDITIONER Pre-Poo, which one is better?

- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Some people say per-poo'ing with a Conditioner is best while others say per-poo'ing with Coconut Oil is best. As with all my videos, I’ll use research and facts to compare the two methods. I hope you find this experiment helpful.

Take the Guess Work Out of Natural Hair Care. ~ Facts and, "Not So" Common Sense to Longer, Thicker, Healthier Hair.
A few things that actually helped to control my hairfall include: (1) I discontinued wearing ponytails because it causes tension damage. (2) I began massaging my scalp 2 times a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while bending over & holding my head upside down to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Covering my head while moving out to shield my hair from pollution. (4) Using mild shampoo again from liittleextra only to cleanse my hair.
Thanks to you, I am getting great results with coconnion kit.
advice for coconut oil leaking: tie a long sock around ur head and edge of the bag (where the oil leaks).. stops leakage! 👍
Mrs. Johnson Your profile picture is 👌
Can please ask where you got it?

Mrs. Johnson thx
Mrs. Johnson you are a genius

+Andrea Banks Thank You, good idea
@@GreenBeauty hey. I admire your videos.
When you do put out your book, please remember that the Caribbean people love you too, thanks!
@@GreenBeauty is your book out yet?
8 years later...bench watching all of your videos!!! This information is GOLD! Thank you!
You have beautiful hair and skin....
riri alexander Thank You :-)
(1/3)You’re welcome. The first year I went natural I pre-pooed every time I washed my hair, and witnessed amazing benefits. After a while I stopped pre-pooing as much and notice that I was experiencing more split ends then usually. I have gone back to doing them all the time again and will “never” stop again lol
Awesome video! They are so informative and scientific and excite my inner hair geek! I didn't pay attention much in my science classes in high school but I love this! AND YESS FOR YOUR JESUS SHIRT! I love seeing others rep my Lord and Savior!
The shirt made my Spirit jump as well.
**video notes**
*Hydro fatigue and protein loss*
*• How your hair dries:* hair stands always hold a certain amount of water molecules. Normally when you wash your hair with prepooing your hair strands will soak up a lot of water and swell up. As the water quickly escapes, it takes with it needed moisture and protein from your hair. Your hair strands contract back to its normal size. In this state your hair is week and very prone to breakage, even from just touching it.
Coconut oil prevents your hair from absorbing so much water. Due to its straight linear chains and low molecular weight it can penetrate into your hair and prevent that.
Conditioners do not pre-poo the hair. It will help add softness, however due to its chemical structure; it doesn't protect the hair from protein loss and hydral fatigue. That's not the purpose of conditioners.
NICE, thank you 😊👍🏾❣️
I'm just finding your channel after watching a Nappyfu video. I just subscribed and have been binge watching. Keep up the good work!!!
Yes, I still recommend to pre poo even before a mud wash. Mud washes are not as damaging as reg shampoos but the warm water used during any wash still lifts your cuticles and swells up you strands. Pre pooing will minimize this effect
(3/3)The straw like feel some people find with coconut oil is usually related to using too much product that hardens a bit when the temperature cool because coconut oil solidifies at a fairly low temperature so a cold winter breeze can stiffen hair very fast. I hope this was helpful. Let me know if you have any more question :-)
I just wanted to let you know that I tried the Hydrolyzed Protein treatment today and I am so pleased with the results. I can't remember the last time my hair looked and felt so healthy. I've never given my hair a protein treatment and now I know this is exactly what it needed. My curl pattern is back and my usually thin fine dry looking hair looks full and lustrous. Thanks so very much for your expertise and your products. Bless
So happy to hear that !!!
YaYa really?
I just watched this vlog again and was able to receive so much out of it...more than the first time. I did not have success with coconut oil in the beginning but thanks to another UA-camr [naturally Quinn], I am pre-pooing now with coconut oil. What I do now is dampen my hair with warm water and then apply the coconut oil. This method allows for the coconut oil to NOT sit on top of my hair. My hair is very moisturized now and a bit more easy to detangle. The things you learn the second [or even third] time around.
The purpose of prepooing is to prevent hygral fatigue from the wetting of your strands. Putting water on your hair first does not prevent hygral fatigue, it contributes to it.
There is one guy here (LongHair Aaron) who I can say I've watched all his videos on UA-cam without fail, because I respect his huge knowledge on healthy black hair growth which is based on facts and science and not bs. I have just added you to the list. I haven't seen all your videos but from the many videos I've seen of you, I'm very impressed. I will try to watch all your videos. I'm very happy with this test because I prefer and only use 100% natural products. Thank you.
(2/3)And No, coconut oil does not contain any protein and cannot be use for a source of protein. It is a seed based oil that s presses out of the coconut seed by heated it up and straining the oil out.
Wow her skin is beautiful!
Can you please do one comparing/contrasting coconut oil and olive oil? what is the best use of each, etc. Thanks!
I was just about to google that! Was you able to find the answer?
@@youtubeaddict5663 coconut penetrates the best, then olive, then avocado
@@christine1962ful are u sure? Isn't coconut oil heavier the evvo??
@@youtubeaddict5663
Not when it's melted.

I personally use both coconut oil and condition mixed for my prepoo. The oil does the moisterizing and the conditioner adds softness. I also find it easier to apply and love the way it smells. I don't mind the extra money b/c I only have a twa so I don't need the extra product. I put it on the night before shampooing and sleep in a plastic cap. My hair feels soft and healthy!
I recommend coconut oil over olive oil for many reason. I'll be coving this topic in detail in a future video.
After sitting under the hooded cap with the coconut oil can i just apply the onion mix and than shampoo? Or rinse the oil out, onion mix, than shampoo?
@@siegghynss5742 I do my onion juice and oil together to save time. I have high porosity hair so I leave them in for about 1 to 2 hrs then shampoo
@@nattylew5058 thank you🙂
Yes you can, It won't hurt. What concerns me, is that you don't shampoo your hair. Conditions are engineered to deposit nutrients, it's not effective enough to remove dirt and build-up (especially on your scalp). To maintain good scalp health you should shampoo your scalp at least once a month to remove harmful buildup.
Thanks for the comparison. Very informative and used a good solid method of testing. I current use both a conditioner and natural oil mixture to prepoo my hair because I am able to detangle my hair whereas oil and water alone did not work for me
OMG. I know this video is about hair but I had to watch it twice because the first time I couldn't stop looking at how gorgeous your make-up is.
Excellent video! Totally didn't expect the thorough explanation of hygral fatigue at the end. The checklist comparing the the two was wonderful and I was hoping for a more scientific, fact-based explanation. Was happy to watch this once and move on but the information and visuals you provided outlining how coconut oil helps your hair is informative, easy-to-understand, and well done. Very good job, and thank you for your efforts!! 👍🏽
+salsareginaclemente Thank You :-)
There's not really any other oil that has ALL the characteristic coconut oil has. But, as far as its penetrating characteristic, you're right EVOO and avocado oil both have that same abilities. But, as a side note, I trust avocado oil more then I trust olive oil. I'll be coving this in a future video
Okay... so I'm back! I tried this method a week & a half ago & I must say I've noticed a big difference from my previous shampoos. My hair has more shine & I am loving it!
great .. your hair thanks you :-)
+Green Beauty Channel
I love youtubers like you who actually have facts and give great information!
I thought I knew what pre-poo was until I watched this video and realise I knew nothing. This video is so informative, I truly appreciate your educational method of explanation. My hair breaks when I just touch it, now I know why thanks to you. From now on I will be using this method and I will let you know how I get on. X
Thank you soo much for the support, I really appreciate it. My hair was not wet before I added the conditioner and the coconut oil. But, I suggest to have your hair at least a little bit damp before you add anything to it.
Thanks for sharing. I usually mix my conditioner with either olive oil , coconut oil, or some other type of oil for my pre poo.
every other natural hair video I watch I check you to confirm it, see the benefits and see how factual the benefits are ...you deserve more viewers and I really loveeeeee your scientific approach! thank you alot!!!!!!!
This may leave ur hair hard & sticky. First, per-pooing ur hair w/ HEAT (especially in ur case) before washing & conditioning is very beneficial for all hair types. Secondly, a little goes a long way w/ low porous hair. For daily use, only use a little coconut oil & try to mix it w/ lighter oils like almond & jojoba oil.
Im revisiting coconut oil as a pre-poo as we speak. Im optimistic about the results. Thank you for your very informative videos.
Real Olive is also a great oil to use for pre-pooing. But I have certain issues with the olive oil industry in this country. I will be coving this in detail in the future after I conclude my research/investigation. So for now stick with coconut oil for pre-pooing =)
Coconut oil before shampoo always leaves my hair and scalp in the best condition. Plus I love the smell of coconut oil. It's such a treat:-) great information in your videos
Since detoxing with bentonite clay and using coconut oil and milk in my hair, it's so much smoother, shinier and stronger (Oh and washing with 22nd century bar shampoo). On my next wash day I'm going to try the onion juice (praying it likes my hair and scalp). Thanks for sharing your knowledge it's really liberating and inspiring. May God continue to bless you according to his will. Have an amazing day 🤗
I've been watching your videos all morning, very helpful. I really enjoy your videos, messages and knowledge. I will be trying this method. Keep the videos coming and thank you for taking the time to put your knowledge out there for us all.
Coconut Oil is great for ALL hair types. I think what they may have been referring to is the fact that hair that is low in porosity does not absorb product to well (Due to its tight cuticle layers) coconut oil solidifies when the temp drops.
"Oldie but Goodie" As always, thank you GreenBeauty for your wonderful scientific research
I love going backwards in time to see the beginning. It shows the proof in the pudding. Our lady knows what she is talking about.
💚💚💚
Girl you are a natural born genius! this is exactly what's wrong with my hair! it only breaks when it is soak and wet! I'm going to do this method! Thank you so much for this video!
I quite like this video as it takes a very scientific approach to hair care which is something I rarely see. It gives a more general view on hair and is more convincing than personal opinion based hair tips (since everyone's hair differs, different products often produce different effects) as it relies on the basic structure and function of hair.
I really enjoyed this video. Very detailed about WHY one is better than the other.
In other words, you CAN use them both as a combined prepoo treatment. I actually like that way a lot because my conditioner helps a lot with detangling too
I am just starting to use coconut oil as a deep conditioner and did not know the other uses such as prepooing with it. I definitely plan to use this as a staple product and your video was very informative.
Sure you can. I recommend olive oil over sweet almond oil for pre-pooing b/c of its penetrating qualities. Just make sure the olive oil is green and not yellow :-)
What does it mean if it is yellow? And I've tried a mask of olive oil, deep conditioner and honey on my hair. But when i rinsed it off (maybe after an hour or longer) my hair was hard/not soft. Did I leave it on for too long?
I started the coconut prepoo challenge after watching your video a month ago.my hair feels amazing and looks great :-D thank you for sharing.
wonderful video..i prepooed with CO last night and my hair is in heaven!!
Wow I really enjoyed this video! I think this is my first times watching a Green Beauty video. I appreciate that this provided a scientific explanation in addition to a thoughtful demonstration
Its best to use coconut oil that's unrefined and cold pressed. You can find it at Wholefoods or online
When I condition my daughter's hair last night I added coconut oil first and then added the conditioner. It detangled easier and was much softer than usual!
This was extremely helpful!
After two years I've been trying to get a solid regimen down, and have been torn between to pre-poo with Conditioner or Coconut Oil.
Thanks a Bunches!
first vidoe i've seen here on yt that explains this pre poo thing perfectly..thanx girl!!
So true 💜I love coconut oil
I detangle my hair a bit when I pre-poo. But, I do most of my detangling when conditioner is coating my hair.
GreenBeauty do you detangle with conditioner on wet or damp hair ? Tried to find videos on this and couldn’t find an answer.
I washed my hair yesterday and I had the least amount of hair fall I have ever had. I pre-poo the night before and the took the braids down one by one and ran my fingers from scalp to end. Put it back into braids. Use a moisturizing shampoo, conditioner and then a deep conditioner. It was my best washday ever. It was longer than usual though.
I pre-poo with a hair masks (Alikay Naturals Avocado Moisturizing or the Honey Sage Deep Conditioner), and it's been working (significantly less breakage, knots, and tangles)...Also, products perform better...
That was great info. The dryer dance is hilarious.
I'm going to start using coconut oil today!
Yes! I guarantee you will notice a difference right away!!
From my mid shaft to the ends of my hair coconut 🛢️ oil work well on my high porosity hair.
What is your thought on using aloe vera as a pre poo? I use aloe vera not just as a pre poo, but also as a conditioner. Although in addition, coconut oil does wonders on my hair, but I have never used it as a pre poo alone. I pre poo using aloe and the coconut oil.
Such a beautiful young lady! You really seem to know what you are talking about! Thank you for educating me on this-however, can you use both conditioner and coconut oil in combination with each other in prepooing?
Thanks for the support !
thank you for your videos!!!! I have just stumbled upon your videos and am blown away. I love the way you explain everything. especially this video. I've been doing coconut oil pre-pooing for about 3 years now and the difference it has made on my hair is insane. I no longer need to use a relaxer to attain a straight texture. my natural texture has relaxed into beautiful ringlet curls. And the overall shine and health of my hair is literally almost perfect!
can you do a video talking about avocado oil? I've tried it as well and had amazing results. Just wondering if it's for the same reason as coconut oil.
I use this method its amazing love prepooing with different oils but coconut oil is the best
The oils you listed will somewhat protect your shaft from protein loss but no way near as much as coconut oil due to its fatty makeup and penetrating abilities. The other oils will easily wash away before they have the opportunity to protect your hair.
this was VERY informational. thank you for this. im now prepooing with coconut oil!
Thanks for explaining the difference. Especially the costs savings. I was on my way to buy some conditioner but I will stick to my messy coconut oil and honey pre-poo. My hair feels so stripped when I skip this step.
Can you please do a comparison with aloe Vera and what alternative can be used for coconut oil if your hair doesn’t like
Over time yes definitely
Thanks , the video is very instructive and detailed giving soo much scientific explanations. I have never used coconut oil for prepoo, but olive oil works so well for me. What can be your point of view about this? Once more, thank you!
Yes I did strand test my hair yesterday when I first heard about hair porosity. I was looking into purchasing a steamer and found out about its existence.
I learn a lot from your videos. I am on a natural hair journey and need this information. Thanks a lot for the time and effort you must take in getting this information out to everyone. There is so much I still need to know about my hair. I am in my late fifties and about to retire in a few years. I am so overworked and stressed at work I hardly know how long I have been on this journey, ( I think two years) but I do not think my hair is responding because I have no length differences. My hair, even when its stretched does not seem to grow more than about mid-neck or a little below my chin. When I was younger :) it never got really long either, though it is thick with a beautiful brown color that everyone tries to imitate. It is kinky in the middle- in the back, wavy or a little wavier on the top, and at the nape or bottom of my hair it grows so fast I have to cut it twice as much than the other lengths to even it out. (Right now I am practicing not cutting the bottom more often to see if that will give the other hairs on my head a chance to catch up:) That hair at the nape is between nappy and wavy which is the between texture of my top hair type and my middle-head hair type. I welcome any suggestions for styles, maintenance or anything that may help me grow more length.
Using less coconut oil will give you the benefits without the mess. Thanks for the informative video. :)
Thank you Alicia... I'll be outlining that in detail in the near future.
Thanks for explaining what I should consider about and how to truly Pre-Poo my. I had noticed (what I consider) a lot shedding when I would wash or co-wash my hair and I didn't understand why. I thought I was doing all the right things, but clearly I wasn't. I'm about to try the Pre-Poo method with the Coconut Oil. THANKS SO MUCH!!!
you look so pretty love your hair
I'm transitioning to natural hair and very Thankful I found your channel.
Should I mist my hair with water before I apply the coconut oil?
Yes you should definitely must your hair first to help relax your cuticles so the coconut oil can penetrate 💚
I tried both methods and honestly, the conditioner pre poo works so much better for me. I have naturally high porosity 3c (with a bit of 4a at the nape) hair and the oil makes my hair feel hard and doesn’t provide enough slip. I use an inexpensive conditioner with silicones as a pre poo/detangler and my hair loves it. It makes my wash day such a breeze. Oil only works well as a sealant in the LOC method for me (thank you for that video by the way. Using that method has changed my hair). Any idea why this is?
I don’t know my hair type but conditioner pre poo works on my hair and oils make situation worse my hair becomes oily frizzy and dry with oiling some parts remain oily some dry and some frizzy and curls also go away by the way I have fine hair not sure about porosity but my hair is protein sensitive hair become hard
Could you please do a video on how, when and why natural hair - particularly 4c - gets "bouncy" and long when stretching? Thank you!
B/c when our hair is stretched it's never really completely straight so it still has body and bounce to it.
Learn something everyday...!!!
Coconut oil is a must in my natural hair regime, my hair is so much softer & stronger;)
Thanks for the info! I've never done a pre-poo (since I typically only do cowashing). I'll have to start doing this when I do a wash.
She’s so pretty 😭❤️
Thanks @meeikothompson... A lot of production time and research goes into the making of these 4 to 5 min videos. But, we are currently working on the second season! There will be more videos with really exciting topics.... So Stay Tuned!!
Thanks ... I appreciate the support :-)
I needed this 🙌. I’ve been watching your videos and they are exactly what I’ve been looking for, the educational side. Thank you.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing. I love your channel. Extremely informative, well delivered and factual.
Thanks for watching!
It so true ! I make all my hair products myself and it so amazing ! thanks very very much for all your advices. God bless you. I am so glad to see you wearing Jesus on your shirt! 👍👍👍 Remain blessed in Jesus name, amen 💟
The video is very informative and interesting. However I noticed the conditioner side looks shinnier than the coconut oil side.
I’m soo happy I finally found you!! I’m totally binge watching all your videos and lovin every bit of it!! 🥰
I absolutely love your videos. so helpful, so direct, so genuine. keep going ;)
I love your channel and voice.
Great job explaining hydral fatigue. Thank you!
Love that dark skin tone
I've always used olive oil to pre-poo..since I have low porosity, coconut oil would be too heavy. correct me if I'm wrong that's what I learned in your other videos!
Coconut Oil as a pre-poo will not be too heavy for your hair b/c it will be washed out during the shampoo process.
Can you do a video about whether coconut oil is good for high and low porosity hair? I've read that its penetrating property means that it can dry your hair out by completely blocking water from entering your strands. I can't figure out whether it's causing my dryness. For now I only use it to pre-poo. What do you think?
Your skin looks beautiful. It has an amazing glow!
I’m here for your hair but your skin is so beautiful
Excellent videos and content! You are definitely one of my role models; a beautiful black woman who is a scientist! I’m finishing up in my Food Science undergrad program whoop whoop!!
