Pre-shampoo masks or treatments

[Mel231]

I am looking for recommendations on pre-shampoo products, i.e., overnight masks or something that can be applied to dry hair minutes or hours before shampooing.  I don't like Olaplex #3 because it has to be applied to wet hair.

Id recommend Huile de Leonor Greyl. It is about 60 bucks for a good sized bottle of it that will last you a long time. It is a 'celeb favourite' (Brad Pitt and others whom I cannot remember). So you warm up the oil and massage it into the hair you wish to treat, then leave on for half an hour or all night or whatever you want. I use it sparingly as a leave-in and have done for several years, Huile de Leonor Greyl is most definitely my Holy Grail. It smells incredible, very 'French perfume'. I have better hair now at age 50 than I have ever had and put it down to this treatment and Nioxin shampoo. I can go for a year without a haircut and not have any damage even though I wash and dry daily. My hair is soft and shiny and pretty thick and Im sure it is because of this oil.

I've been using AQUIS - 01 Prime Water Defense PreWash and it's been a game changer! You spray onto dry hair before showering. It's supposed to protect your hair when it's wet. I guess your hair is at it's weakest when it's wet. All I know is my hair has never been softer or shinier after using this stuff!

Hi @rrroxanne,

That product sounds amazing! I have to give it a try 🙂

Best,

@Mel231 I don't use any specific pre-poo products. For my pre-poo treatments, I use hair oil on my dry hair and top that with a conditioner. I'm currently using the Madam CJ Walker Beauty Culture Brassica Oil and the Not Your Mother's Matcha Green Tea and Wild Apple Blossom Conditioner.

@Mel231 I'm interested in pre-shampoo treatments as well, although I'm usually too lazy to do any sort of a hair mask period.  When I was looking into them a while back I realized that there aren't many out there.  I came across BUMBLE AND BUMBLE - Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Balm-to-Oil Pre Shampoo Masque and

LIVING PROOF - Perfect Hair Day® Night Cap Overnight Perfector

but I have no idea if they work well, are good for hair, etc.

Years ago I used the Ojon treatment and Phytonectar which I was happy with.

Looks like there are some more, if I search Sephora by "hair overnight."  Such as ALTERNA HAIRCARE - CAVIAR Anti-Aging® Restructuring Bond Repair Leave-In Overnight Serum,  Bumble and bumble While You Sleep Overnight Damage Hair Repair Mask 6.4 oz/ 190 mL , KéRASTASE - Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum and TOGETHER BEAUTY - Dreamer Overnight Repair Mask

I wonder if these are any good...:)

Christophe Robin - I use this maybe once a week or so and I love it.

*damp hair @Mel231 sadly you are missing out on the best one! It is only active while moisture is present in the hair. I think Sephora collection has some masks you apply before going to sleep onto the hair?
