2011 Ceramides Challenge

[Seamonster]

I oil rinsed with sunflower oil. It is really light but still reminds me of olive oil. I used my eucalyptus spritz

 

[greenandchic]

Used hemp seed oil today.

 

[Brownie518]

I've been using my mix of JBCO, hemp seed, and emu oil most days. On wash days, I've been using my mix of hemp, walnut, safflower, and rice bran.

Last night I sealed with hot 6 oil and really like it. A little goes a long way.

I started out with using this....and I will add it back to my collect after I get rid of WGO, which I really like. But I wanna try Hemp so we will see.

OAN: I am STILL using WGO daily on top of my cornrows.....

 

[Lanea87]

WGO/EVCO mixture tonight.....

 

[divachyk]

Hemped it up last night and tonight.

Poo'd and DCed (with AO HSR and AO WCR). After my leave-in, I sealed with grapeseed and a little hemp oil. I have been having issues with the hemp every other time I used it (the smell was too strong for me). This time, I squirted it in a little bowl and used little dabs on the ends of the sections as I braided and twisted. Hopefully this will give me good results!

^^I bought some hemp balm a while back, for dry skin. The smell was horrible.

So I pretty much fell of all of my challenges since I was in kinky twists. They were self installed for the first time so I was nervous about doing too much. But I am getting back on my grind, since I am in the process of installing a new set.

Last night I used Claudie's Isha cream, and Claudie's braid spray. Both contain ceramides.

Going to purchase an oil mister for my SD Nourish oil this way I can apply evenly while in my kinky twists.

hay ladies, I steamed my hair then sealed with vatika oil mixed with sunflower oil ... my hair liked

 

[SimJam]

Hi ladies, I think my hemp seed oil went rancid ... I mean it always had a "raw egg" smell but its like overpowering now.

Im thinking I'll just add an essential oil to it to try mask the smell

 

[greenandchic]

Purchased organic sunflower oil today at the co-op. I may use it tonight.

 

[Golden75]

Bout to dc with sd vanilla moisture dream then add some destination hydration on top before rinsing. Will use sd leave in & pre to seal. All contain ceremides

[SimJam]

SimJam I think it may really be rancid, I've never experienced a raw egg smell from hemp oil, it normally has that mild nutty scent.

 

[SimJam]

halee_J yup I think it is, I only just realized it said to keep refigerated

 

[YoursTrulyRE]

oil rinsed this morning with my hemp/castor mix.

 

[Nix08]

Going to co wash later and seal with Gleau (which has WGO).

 

[Anaya-Amani]

I restocked my joico k-pak poo, conditioner & leave-in spray! I love how healthy my hair is at this point but I really need a good trim/cut! No scissors have touched my hair since April 15th.

[divachyk]

I have reconnected with hemp over the past month and loving it.

 

[SimJam]

seals effectively without weighing down my hair or making it feel gunky

 

[bajandoc86]

SimJam hey girlie! where did ya get your walnut oil?

 

[SimJam]

bajandoc86 at the health food store in Orchid Village Plaza (in liguanea) - Natural health I think its called.

sometimes I go to the one in Liquanea Lane Plaza called Healthy Natural, bt I prefer Natural Health and the owner is rlly nice and helpful

 

[bajandoc86]

[greenandchic]
