Pre-poo with Lutrasilk Shea mixed with WGO and hemp oil last night. Planned to wash it out this morning but I have been studying all day and its still in my hair. I may leave it in tonight as well and rinse it out in the morning.

Is that to long to pre-poo?
 
After spritzing my hair with water, I smoothed my kukui nut oil and sunflower oil blend on my hair last night.

I noticed my hair is stronger with the use of oil ceramides. I'm not sure how often I should use it, but I've been using it about twice a week and alternating with other oils.
 
About to plait my hair again for the night: M&S w/ HS14n1 and WGO (just added Grapefruit EO).
 
Used a lil of mine over some braids last night. I'm thinking of adding castor oil to my mixture...if I can unearth it in my room:ohwell:
 
UPDATE: Got back to using ceramides consistently. :grin: Still wondering if L'Oreal Total Repair 5 Conditioner really has ceramides because they said keratin and there's only hydrolyzed wheat protein in it. Maybe I should add a bit of safflower oil just in case... :look:

That would be sunflower oil, not safflower. Not sure if safflower has ceramides or not though...

It does, greenandchic. I asked a member with a degree in chemistry about safflower oil when I first purchased it. She made a post with our correspondence a while back here. I don't know know why it's not included in the first post as an oil containing ceramides in the first post but that's the OP's choice. :giggle: It's an interesting read if you choose to click.

Before taking my plaits out this morning I coated my hands with WGO... And tonight I will M&S with HS 14 IN 1 and WGO......
 
Will be mixing an avocado with rice bran oil as a hot oil treatment.

I'm working through Nexxus Humectress but its coating on the hair. I'll probably shampoo with Tresamme Deep Cleanse shampoo and then do the HOT.

*loving AO Rose Mosqueta Conditioner too.
 
Hi ladies - checking in to say that I'm still being faithful with my ceramides regimen. I'm co-washing at least once a week w/ jason's naturals jojoba conditioner and dc'ing every week w/ AOHSR. I also use grapeseed oil on my hair after washes. Still going good :yep:
 
Before taking my plaits out this evening (Im trying to leave them in as long as possible because I am going out tonight) I will coat my hands with WGO... And tonight when I get back in I will M&S with HE LTR and WGO and just bun it because Saturday is wash day......
