I know its a good thing but it seems a bit weird that I haven't had to do a protein treatment in months. Do any of you ladies use heat regularly and can get by just using ceramides? By regularly I mean once a month or more I guess. My plan is to start using heat once a month and was thinking I may have to start doing protein treatments once a month to keep up.

This thread is really awesome. My hair actually air dried soft and pliable. Another first for my hair. I'm very satisfied.
 
Using my Global Goddess Oil (has sunflower and a bunch of other nice oils) ....put it in last night and will wash it out tomorrow and follow up with the Redken Time Reset....
 
After co-washing, I tried sealing with sunflower oil instead of my usual oil blend and my hair is very dry. So I will no longer be sealing with this. Only pre-poos and oil rinses until I use it up and I probably won't repurchase unless its promising as a pre-poo/oil rinse.

ETA: Just took down one of my braids and my relaxed hair is very soft so maybe only my natural hair doesn't like it? Guess I will have to continue to use it for a while and see.

I am absolutely loving ceramides on my hair. What I have been doing is applying the oil to my hair night before my wash day and wearing a bun until I wash my hair. I love Hot six oil or I use a mixture of sunflower seed oil with a little bit of castor oil and grape seed oil. When I rinse and shampoo, my hair feels like silk. After my roller sets, my hair is shiny and soft, the best part is my new growth is soft and not dry. My new growth has a loose texture as well.

I tried Proclaim natural 7 oil and I didn't like it so I will use it on my body in the shower. My hair didn't have that silky feeling I have become accustomed too.

I picked up Vitale Mo Body Essential Oil today which has Sesame oil, Kukui Nut oil, Wheat Germ oil, Lanolin oil, Sunflower seed oil,Olive Oil, Mink oil, Aloe Vera oil and Safflower oil. I have applied it to my roots and my hair is in a french braid. I will wash it out tomorrow, shampoo my hair that is when I will know I like it or not.
 
Still doing ceramide oil pre-poos and sealing. I'm considering buying pure ceramide to add to my relaxer mid-step condish.
 
I used Biolage cera repair in my condish. Great results. Kinda pricey, so I just decided to use oils instead.
 
I'm still going strong with my ceramides... I uses something that contains ceramides every day (whether they are apart of the original ingredients or I've added them myself!)
 
Hairobics Hair & Scalp Booster has ceramides. Here are the ingredients. I've used this with VERY good results. Tried to post a pic, but I don't know what's going on with the new changes. Anyway, here's the link:

Hemp seed oil has turned my hair around and I still use Wheat germ oil. I alternate weeks with these two mixed into my DC. I use rice bran oil to seal because it is so light 2x a week. I used Natures Gate Hemp Nourishing 2 weeks ago as my after protein conditioner and something in this conditioner made my head feel funny (the same thing happened with the Natures Gate Aloe) I think I am allergic to one of the ingredients. I can use it as a moisturizer/leave-in though so it is not a total waste.

I mixed Hemp seed with Shea butter for my DD to use on her excema and she said it is helping. YEAH Hempseed oil.
 
I love sun/hemp/wgo mix.

I love sun/jbco mix on my edges and ends too. I used to be heavy handed - and still am if I wetbun. But in general just a few drops.
 
50 sunflower
25 hemp
25 wgo

That is for hot oil treatments/steam as I still don't like the smell of WGO
 
I have been using HSO (hemp seed oil) mixed 50/50 with sweet almond oil for a few weeks now. My hair definitely feels healthier. Also, I have not seen any splits in my shed hairs lately - don't know whether this is due to HSO or Henna.

anyone currently using pure ceramides in a mix? if so what results so far?
Click to expand...

yup I add wheat germ oil to most of my DCs now
and I mixed in some with my IC fantasia gel - which went white, but Im using it for twists and once the gel dries the white look goes

and I use hemp oil to seal

everything is all peachy ceramides are awesome
 
I so wanted to get sunflower oil, then my boyfriend reminded me I'm allergic to sunflower oil!! I'm an idiot, but thankfully he's not :lol:. So I'll just stick with my WGO, HSO and rice bran.

I did my aphogee 2-step treatment today, followed up with a quickie rinse, and then deep conditioned with 3 conditioners mixed with mahabhringaraj oil and WGO. I've used WGO in every DC for the past month or so, and my breakage is so minimal! I love that it has some weight to it because my hair needs it. I add HSO to my final acv rinse, and my hair is really benefiting from it :yep:.
