[bajandoc86]

After my impromptu cowash session this evening (halee_J I ain' kno how how the heat is in Bim, but it killn' ma down hey in Ja erplexed - got me cowashing at LEAST every other day), I moisturised then sealed with ma beloved hempseed/grapeseed oil mix.

I've been moisturizing with Claudie's Isha Nourishing cream still and sealing either with her Montego Bay Oil or Hydratherma Naturals oil.

I used some grapeseed oil in my DC last night. Very nice!!

 

[Lanea87]

It doesnt bother me that much but heck idk if I wanna get it again either, its half mixed with Hot Six Oil

@ms_b_haven06...Yeah... I can't stand that smell either. I could never seal with it... I only add it to my DC's and then CW with a nice smelling Con

I doubt that I will reorder once it runs out...

Aireen-happy dance! Still sealing with my hempseed oil. I am still loving it more than my wheat germ oil. Tried oil rinsing with it. Um, not really liking oil rinsing at all. Leaves my hair dry. I thought hempseed oil would make it feel different-nope.

I got my ceramide oils from Garden of Wisdom. Reasonable and quick shipping. Gotta love it. I'm excited. I've been using Gleau oil recently and it is the ish.

Moisturized with hemp seed butter then sealed with Enso's Marshmallow & Moss Serum last night. The serum has rice bran oil and sunflower extract in it. This morning I did an oil rinse with Gleau oil and sealed with Komaza's Moku Serum.

I normally mix a little WGO & castor oil into my CWs. I ran out of WGO about a month ago, so I've been using sunflower oil instead, and my hair has been SOOOOO soft afterwards.

I may have found my new ceramide love ....

 

[cinnespice]

I'm deep conditioning with hemp seed and i co-washed and sealed my hair with grape seed oil. I like it keeps my hair soft.

 

[Minty]

I'm back on my ceramides but stopped using oils months ago. Just damp braid bunning w/Nexxus Humestress cond. as a leave-in.

That H20 is a really good product - gives quick results.

 

[TraciChanel]

washed my hair yesterday and sealed w/ grapeseed oil. BTW, I took out my PS yesterday and I am SO happy with my progress. I can see remarkable length from the last time and I'm sure the retention is due to my ceramide use (w/ the oils and DC's). yay!!!

 

[Shay72]

Steaming with Gleau oil tonight.

 

[bajandoc86]

Will add some Hempseed oil to my DC tonight and see how that goes....cant wait

 

[greenandchic]

What ceramide oils/products will you be using? Right now I only have hemp seed oil in my fridge, but I will order wheat germ oil and buy Aubrey Organics Conditioner (not sure which one yet)

How will you be using them? (pre-poo, shampoo, DC, leave-in, sealing etc) Mostly sealing, DC and leave in.

How often will you be using them? Daily

Hey lady Glad you're joining us If you're getting wheat germ oil, just be aware that it has a somewhat strong scent that can linger.

 

[Shay72]

Moisturized last night with Enso's Milk & Honey Hydrating Buttercream. It has rice bran oil and sunflower extract in it.

 

[Amazhaan]

DCing with Silicon Mix CON raaat now....

 

[healthyhair2]

Will use my AO White Camilla oil Condish for Deep treatments.

I will do this one time per week--Twice if time allows

 

[halee_J]

Welcome healthyhair2 ! I'm a fan of AO condishes too, your hair looks really great in your avi

 

[Brownie518]

Moisturized with Isha Nourishing which has some ceramide oils and sealed with my ceramide mix of hemp, grapeseed, and safflower.

 

[healthyhair2]

Thank you for the compliment. That hair is from my relaxed days. My last relaxer was October 2009! I need to start documenting my progress and what I do with my hair 'cause I am trying to make it to waist length(at least midback). I will be oil rinsing with Ceramide oils as well.

 

[Shay72]

Added grapeseed oil to my amla paste and now I'm doing a HOT then oil rinse with gleau oil.

 

[bajandoc86]

The DC+ Hempseed oil....... Hair was soooo soft, when I eventually twisted my hair (moisturised with aloe vera juice/glycerin/honeyquat/SAA/hydrolysed wheat protein mix, then added KCKT, and sealed with hempseed/grapeseed oil), the twists were plump and stayed moisturised.

Can ya tell I'm happy?

 

[Anaya-Amani]

How heavy is the Hot 6 Oil? My hair loves coconut oil but, I've noticed that it gets stringy when I use something like olive oil. Before I started researching on this site, when my hair looked/felt dry I would put vitapointe in it & wrap at night & It would fall nicely in the morning. Currently, I do the same but use coconut oil instead.

 

[cinnespice]

I started to seal with grapeseed oil instead of my shea butter mix. I really like this it kept the moisture in more than the shea butter

 

[Anaya-Amani]

I currently use the Joico K-pak & I'm running low on products. What can I use until I can replenish my stash in a few months?

 

[halee_J]

Anaya-Amani have a look at the first post 2 posts of this thread there's a whole list of oils, conditioners and leave-ins that contain ceramides. I personally get my ceramide dose from hempseed oil I seal my moiturizer and do pre-shampoo treatments with it

I recently started using hemp seed oil as my prepoo and also right after I chelate. I also mix it with my shea butter to seal after I spritz my hair with water or water+avj. I see you seal in your moisture with the hemp seed oil too. But now I wonder if sealing in my moisturizer with hemp seed oil(especially a heavy sealer or mixing it with shea butter) is really effective. I mean can the "sealing" hemp seed oil really do much good for the hair since it's going on on top of a heavy moisturizer?

I'd really like your input since you're waaay more experience at this ceramide thing than me! Thx

 

[Meritamen]

Just bought rice bran oil so I would like to join too! Pretty please?

What ceramide oils/products will you be using?
Right now I have some rice bran oil but what to try hemp seed oil too.

How will you be using them? (pre-poo, shampoo, DC, leave-in, sealing etc) How often will you be using them?
I will use ceramide oils to pre-poo (1x a week), to seal in moisture (every 3 or so days), and for HOTs.
