Official 2010 Ceramides Challenge

⏳ Limited Access:

Register today to view all forum posts.

so far this week I have pre oiled hair on wednesday with hemp seed oil washed - then put a mixture of castor oil and more hemp oil on braided sections- after washing I would say my hair wasn't as puffy- seemed a bit more elongated too - thursday I put a little hemp oil mixed with a tad a bit of water on sectioned hair. I would say my hair is still very soft and moisturized!
 
Forgive me if this was already asked but...of all the ceramide oils, which one has the least offensive smell? I'd like to have one I can use as a leave in.
 
Well, I am not going anywhere today so I think I may put some stinky WhGO in my hair and wrap it in a plastic cap. I can rinse it out tomorrow if the smell gets to be bad.
 
Hey ladies, one of our fellow members N_Vision has a blog relaxedhairhealth.blogspot.com (I owe my hair 'awakening' to her blog). She posted about the specific ingredient to look for when looking for ceramides: 2-Oleamido and 1,3 Octadecanediol.
If this has already been posted my apologies - I'm at work and couldn't search all 32 pages:)
 
Does WGO linger?

Well, it does for a short time but eventually disappears. I love mixing it with my Suave or Pantene or something while detangling it into my bun. I sometimes touch up my ends or the edges of my hair with it. I don't mind I am at home.:ohwell:

But my hair is singing praises, especially my ends. The softness and sheen from WGO lasts a time.

Someone mentioned a shea butter WGO mix...that sounds yummy!! I am going to try it.

I've at times been mixing WGO with Castor oil (either types).

Haven't checked in lately but I am adding Redken Time Reset Revitalizer...I think they have outdone themselves with this one...still taking my Phyto vitamins which always gave me great results...

I have been using the Sunflower Oil on occasion...I like how light it is and will probably use it as a hot oil treatment versus mixing in my conditioners...I really like how it works on my DD's hair...
 
just checking in....still using my ceramides but finally added whgo.

strangely enough, it has no odor, so i was almost afraid to use it, thinking it wasn't stinky enough, lol!
 
I just got a few new products with ceramides in them. Redken anti snap leave in and Relaxed Styling Foam Mousse from Vigorol. It has wheat germ oil in it. :yep: I have never had such pliable hair before. I'm very encouraged at my progress. My new growth is easily slicked down. That is something I could never do. I'm so grateful for this thread.:cup:
 
checking in - saturday I soaked hair with Hemp oil washed and conditioned - also put a dab throughout hair after washing - tonight I will was hair again adding a bit of hemp oil to my conditioner.

Oh? Do tell, in detail, how wonderful this product is, please! :grin:
 
La Plancha Deep Heat Treatment has ceramides. Great condish!

My hair air dried ALOT quicker today, within hours. Usually doesn't dry until the next day. I used protein and ceramides (of course). Does this mean anything in particular?
 
Someone just bumped a kemi oyl thread. I love kemi oyl but haven't used it in years. My hair did well with it and it smelled sooo good.

Hm... it may just help to cut the smell of my Whgo/shea butter mix (and yes, I mentioned it earlier, and yeah it really IS a GREAT mixture!!! ;))
ETA...
But the more I think about it. I'm going a completely natural based route and Kemi oyl's reps are even still, years later, tight lipped about what's in it. Hm. Maybe essential oils instead? Still got my eye on monoi oil...
