WELCOME LADIES!!
:woohoo:​

I hope ceramides are treating you well. How are things going for you?

I am really loving it.

Today I put it in my henna. I first put coffee in the henna and let it cool, then added WGO. The paste was smooth and easy to rinse out. I love the bling!!! The hair is soft and lays flat while in a bun.

I think Ayurveda with WGO works very well for me. The protein and moisture from them get sealed in.

I've been using walnut oil in my co wash, my hair is very shiny and feels so much better than before. I have learned so much since I've been on this forum. If I had this knowledge 20 yrs ago, no relaxer for me.

Things are going well. I put WGO oil on my hair on Friday and then went to the gym and then got my hair done at a paul mitchell hair school. When my hair was washed, it was so easy to comb. I knew it had to the the WGO...my first time every using...it is definitely a staple for me...i used it on my daughter's hair too and her hair felt great!

[Puddles]

[Ltown]

[lamaria211]

somebody help me with this silicon mix mass thing please

 

[jetbeauty09]

I dc'd w/Biosilk hydrating conditioner (WGO and others) overnight with Hot Six Oil (WGO) on top and when I rinsed it out, my hair was BUTTAH! My hair never felt so smooth and soft.

 

[Missjae09]

LOVE the way my hair feels after using WGO and Hemp seed oil.. I think i've added it to everything! I don't want my hair to be without these oils! I pre-co wash with them. I've added it to my leave in and I certainly DC with it.

Hi Lamaria,

I've never heard of a product called silicon mass. Can you post a link to it? I think that might help the other ladies to see if it's the same product.

 

[SimJam]

got my hemp seed oil on saturday ......


how can one oil be so yummy ?!?!?! how is it even possible?
The moisture retention is awesome. Usually when I tie my twists down for the night, when i wake up they are pretty much flattened,and only come to life after I juice and seal.... but sunday morn and today, they were just as plump as the day before !!!!

now my wheat germ oil will be used primerily for DCs and in my protein shakes (for consumption)

I don't know if I notice a big difference. I have been adding WGO to Silicon Mix for my DC, and my hair feels softer, but I don't notice it being more manageable. I also added WGO to my Aussie Moist as a DC, and I get the same thing. Softness, but not more manageable. I added WGO to my regular sealing oil (Palmers Olive Oil) and same thing. Maybe I need to use just WGO to seal or start prepooing with it?

ETA: My hair feels soft when it dries, which is something I don't normally experience so I love it, but...am I supposed to be having some amazing new experience?

I have been doing scalp massages with my mix and I love it! My hair is very soft in the morning and my SSKs are decreasing (knock on wood).

Things are going great! I know that the rice bran oil will help me with my 12-16 week stretches. I was going to dc yesterday but got lazy, so I think I will just wait until next weekend.

 

[luvmesumhair]

Well Sunday I DC'd on dry hair with AOWC mixed with 50:50 EVOO & WGO for 30 mins. LOVE IT! (I think my hair likes the AOWC better then the AOHSR)

Co-washed with Tresemme (I came up with the idea of adding some WGO to the bottle of Tresemme for when I co-wash. Do you think I am over doing it a little? LOL

Airdried with Redken Extreme'Anti-snap leave-in, Moisturized then bunned.

 

[kaykaybobay]

so far so good with the ceramides - my hair feels stronger somehow it's also more moisturized. I'm using hemp oil which seems to soak into my hair. I use it mixed with a bit of water every night when I put my hair in one or two braids.

 

[song_of_serenity]

Going to have to find new conditioner and poo. <3 LOVING the shea/Whgo mix and also going to make a wheat/hemp/water/vegeglycerine and SAA spritz

 

[LaidBak]

Been consistently using WhGO in my conditioners. I just wish I could use it as a leave in without dealing with the smell.

somebody help me with this silicon mix mass thing please

Hey Lamaria - I don't understand the question.
If you are asking about the ceramides in SM, yes there are ceramides in the product........I don't know what "mass" is. Please explain -

Re: Changing things up

I want to see how my hair does with water rinsing and hemp seed oil alone.

My mix in a 2 oz container:

• ¼ oz emu oil
• 4 drops of cedarwood EO
• 6 drops of lemongrass EO
• Filled the rest of bottle with hemp seed oil

The emu oil is to thicken the mixture slightly (hemp seed oil is very runny). The hemp seed smells like turpentine splashed on grass and the EOs balance out the scent. I applied about a teaspoon after squeezing out most of the water and left it alone. Over 12 hours later, it is its usual softness and I have to grope for any traces of oil on my scalp—my stands ate it again! I had DH buried his nose in it and he said it smelt fine to him.

I am allergic to coconut oil and others raved about are OK, but this hemp seed oil may be a keeper. I will try this routine for about a week to see what happens.

Hi there,

Do you mind me asking how this is working out for you? I have fine strands and while I find the wheat germ oil to be an awesome ceramide rich oil it is just too heavy for my fine/thin strands.

thanks in advance for your response,
tishee

 

[BeautifulRoots]

Soooo this week was my second week using the sunflower oil. I used it during my DC...just slathered it on top of the conditioner I was using...didn't use heat. Then I used it to seal before I applied gel for my twist out.

This week my hair felt a little different than last week. My hair definitely felt stronger, thicker, and a little drier than normal.

Idk if it's cuz I clarified this week. (which doesn't usually happen after I clarify...my hair goes back to normal after the DC) Maybe my hair is now starting to react to my gel (eco styler protein) Or my hair is finally getting the chance to repair itself of damage that I wasn't aware of. We'll see.

I'm going to continue using them...

I am still using it on soaking wet hair underneath gel...works great and no greasiness after drying. Try the wheat germ oil for oil rinsing or you can sell it to me.

Does wgo have to be refrigerated? I think I read on another tread that the shelf life isn't that long.

 

[Rainbow Dash]

I am a 4a/b natural and I just started using ceramides. I put little water, aloe vera juice, hemp oil, grapeseed oil, and essential oil in a spray bottle as a leave in. My hair felt instantly soft. After it dried, it still feels soft. I can definitely tell a difference with the hemp oil.

I have tried the other products before without hemp but this time the softeness stayed after my hair dried.

My hair normally feels rough and dry especially in the middle section but this time it feels really soft. I will make this a staple. I think this will help me with retention.

I think ceramides are great for us 4b natural have problems with retention.

This is a great thread.

Yes it does. What I do is take it out the day I am going to use it and shake it up a few times to allow it to incorporate again, then put it back in fridge when done.
