I have a ceramides leave in..can that take the place??

Sure. :yep: I wish I had me some of that leave in, but I don't. :sad: But my Nexxus Headress Leave In has vegetable ceramides, so that is why I use that as well. Plus I have been using my Nexxus for over a year now.
 
my mom just brought up the skala ceramide leave in from home. I used it on dry hair and my hair was soooo so soft. I can't wait to use on freshly washed hair along with the skala ceramide masque.
 
^^^ Matrix Biolage makes some great leave ins in the Hydratherapie and Fortetherapie range.

I however make my own as follows (kind of like a Jherri jucie but smells nicer :cloud9:):

- Thayers Rose Water & Witchhazel
- Giovanni Leave in (new Aloe formula - about 10-20%)
- Glycerine (about 5%)
- 1/2 to 1 Vial of Matrix Biolage Hydratherapie
- Few drops of favourite ceramide oils (i.e. wheatgerm/ kukui - the smell is masked by the rosewater)

You have the mask? *sigh* :sad: Are you using the matching shampoo too? The mask with the leave in, is going to make for yummy hair :lick:
 
^^i traded w/ idaret. I am so super excited. No I don't really shampoo anymore. Just use WEN or HairOne or a clarifying poo when I need to.

BTW I need to know how you did your hair in your siggy. uummm and what did you use on those slick edges. ttthhhaannkkss =)

last night I washed with CON and conditioned my hair with Skala Aloe Vera which was very nice it was much thicker that the Ceramide but I got the same softness and then I followed up with Skala Ceramide conditioner.
 
just cowashed w/ hair one tea tree and skala ceramide condish. dc'd w/ skala jaborandi. leave in was skala ceramide.
 
Trading in my beloved NTM Recovery Hair Mask for Nexxus Humectress DC and also trying Nex Humectress Luxe Leave-In spray. Hmmm.... :lick: Under the steamer as I type.

:love4: WEN. My siggy is just 3 ponytails that I made into messy buns. That was like a couple weeks after my last BKT. I may have used aloe vera gel, or a leave in spray. I don't remember. :spinning: Since that has grown out/worn off, I just use a dab of ECO styler olive oil, when I have stray edges. I just started using this about a month ago and I like it. I don't like using aloe vera gel. :nono: I have "trained" my edges by trying them down morning/nightly with a satin scarf. HTH
 
I'm not sure if anyone has posted this already, but Skala Jaborandi conditioner has wheat germ extract in it, so it can be added to the products with ceramides in it. I'm DCing overnight with this conditioner and will report how my hair responded.
 
DC with Chocolacio, it has ceramides at the bottom of the ingredient list, also use matrix cera repair.
 
I love how soft my hair is still after a day since I used the Skala Jaborandi conditioner. It is definitely a keeper. I used it alone just to see how it would work. I followed by using Qhemet's BRBC with Rice Bran oil and sealed with a serum. I can't wait until I flat iron my hair at the end of this month to see how ceramides have changed my hair.
 
Lawd, I can't wait to get home. I am going to do a swan dive into some ceramide lusciousness! :hottub:

Today I prepooed with WGO and hemp oil. then I did a double tea rinse and dced with Skala Jaborandi and Aussie Moist.
 
Just passing through to say Motions Nourish leave in and the Profectiv MegaGrowth line have wheat germ ingredients and if im not mistaken the motions nourish has an actual ceramide ingredient.
 
I just used my Joico Chelating shampoo.
Followed up with a WGO/Walnut oil/EVOO steam treatment.
Washed with Hair One.
Used Joico Cuticle Sealer.
DC'd w/o heat with Joico Reconstructor/Biolage
Moisturized w/o heat with Joico Intense Hydrator/Biolage.

My hair is so SOFT!

I will apply some Redken Anti-snap and seal with Mizani Nighttime H20.

Then I will do some braids for a braid out tomorrow.
 
After getting hard water deposits off my hair, I will return to the hemp seed oil mix and water diet for a few days.
 
Doing an EVOO and WhGO overnight prepoo tonight.

ETA: Added a splash of JBCO too. My hair was very soft the next day! Very little breakage as well.

I just found Skala Ceramides poo and condish at Big Lots. Does anybody know how it compares to Nexxus Therappe and Humectress?
 
Used Skala G3 shampoo and conditioner tonight. Its a little too much ceramide for my hair and not enough moisture. Guess I'll stick to Nexxus
 
I just ordered a Loreal product called "L'Oreal Elvive Damage Care 10X Ceramide ". I can't wait to try it :lick:.
