Wow this is awesome, I think I will just be peeking in to see results... Also I will go out and buy a product with this for my hair, cool
 
OK. Well this past Friday I gave myself a touch up. Then Last night (Tues) I decided to do a co-wash.

1. I DC'd for 30 mins on dry hair using AOGPB then on top of that, I rubbed some Hempseed Oil on for extra ceramide.

2. Hopped in the shower and rinsed out. MAN! my halr felt like silk! It felt coated but coated in a GOOD way.

3. Then I applied Tresemme on to co-wash with.

4. Applied leave ins: Redken Extreme' leave in (Ceramides), Sealed with more Hempseed Oil.

Now up in a bun until Friday for my next wash. I think I am liking the Hempseed Oil. I was currently using Wheat Germ Oil. I may still use it to mix in with my DCs but I don't remember my hair feeling like this using WGO. We will see.

C9-11 Isoparaffin , C14-16 Normal Paraffin , Isoeicosane , PPG-14 Butyl Ether , PPG-40 Butyl Ether , Hydroxylated Milk Glycerides , Shea Butter Extract , Jojoba Oil , Castor Oil, , Wheat Germ Oil , Mink Oil , Tocopherol Vitamin E , Safflower Oil , Kola Nut Extract , Eucalyptus Extract , Aloe Extract , Papaya Extract , Matricaria Extract Henna Extract Chamomile , Lemongrass Extract , Hydrocotyl Extract , Ethylhexyl Dimethyl PABA , Fragrance
 
Revisited rice bran oil for my pre-poo yesterday :love2:. Washed then DC'ed with AOWC. The more I use these AO condishes the more I like them :yep:.Still sealing with hempseed oil :lick:
 
I know that this may have been answered already but how do y'all get the "earthy" smell out of some of these oils (WGO, Hempseed, etc)??! :ill:
 
My buddy PM'd me today and reminded me about this thread. Stopping back in.
DC'ing with ceramides right now. Think I'm going to pick up some hempseed or wgo today. My hair is going to turn around. I'm making a positive confession. I'll find a regimen that works.
 
Is anyone using sunflower or hempseed oil on their hair daily?
How do these two oils compare to wheat germ oil as a DC?

I've never tried sunflower, but I do use hempseed and wheatgerm oils. For sealing I prefer hempseed as it has the greatest softening and shine effect. It's not heavy, similar to EVOO. Wheat germ oil is heavy/sticky, like castor oil.

I use essential oils like lemonbalm, cedarwood, rosemary, mixed in 2 oz batches.
 
Ran outta my 2nd bottle of Hempseed.:perplexed

I've starting using my Kukui Nut and will use it up and not repurchase this one.:blush:

I have a bottle of Wheat Germ too, but will save that for winter.

Will definitely repurchase a 3rd bottle of Hempseed at some point.:yep:

Ladies, Please excuse me if this has been answered already I'm new to the world of ceramides and I would like to know if it is ok to use my steamer with W
GO or Hemp seed oil. I think I've read that heat can destroy the "good stuff" so I want to know if you ladies are steaming or using them with heat or just letting it sit for a while on your hair.
 
I posted this is Halee's thread


I am not going to purchase the shampoo only the conditioner. I am going to use this process to stretch my next relaxer until December, I hope it works. That will have me stretching for six months, I think I can do it. Plus the relaxer process is always so stressful for me so going longer will hopefully ease some of my anxiety. Scratch that, my hair is not long enough for such a long stretch and I like wearing my hair. I will try to do one after my last relaxer of the year in December.

Here is a site I found Rice bran oil for fairly inexpensive. If anyone in NYC wants to split the cost let me know. One bottle would run about $7 and the bottle is larger than anything I have seen in a brick and mortar store. The shipping is free as well.

Also ladies if you dont already have one. GET a Silk scarf, this has greatly increased my moisture retention and I am able to go longer without moisturizing. My hair feels smooth like butter.

So I haven't had to do a protein treatment in over 6 weeks. I started using sunflower oil as a leave in and started back using Nexxus Therappe. I had switched to Organix coconut milk shampoo for a while. I don't know if it's the sunflower oil, or the nexxus, or what but it feels so good and strong! I've also added AOHSR as one of my staples so I have ceramides in every part of my reggie! LUV IT!
 
I made a daily ceramide leave in spray. I got the idea from Jahzyira. Thanks girl! :grin:

I just eyeballed everything....

One tube of Hask Cerafix
Redken Extreme' leave-in (ceramides)
JoJoba oil
1/2 tube of Biolage Fortatherapie cera repair
SAA
Distilled Water

Just put it in a spray bottle and good to go! I spray a little every night.

For my leave in, I just added MORE ceramides to the Redken Extreme' (ceramide) leave in. I added:

1 tube of Biolage Fortatherapie cera repair
and some Hempseed Oil.

Shake it up and good to go!
 
Just rode my bike over to Whole Foods and picked up some hempseed oil. Got exercise and something good for my hair - all in one!

Anybody use any of the oils on their hair on a daily basis?

Hey ladies,

I threw out my Hot Six oil after reading about the shelf life of Wheat Germ oil. I had that bottle FOREVER (over a year). I thought it smelled funny! :blush:

Anyways, I had a bottle of Palmer's Olive Oil, and I added about 2 tbsp of pure wheat germ oil to it. My hair is starting to feel a little softer after sealing with this for the past week. I don't feel a huge difference though. I'll be reporting in again once I add it to my DC for the first time tonight. :grin:

ETA: I won't be reporting in. I forgot this is the challenge that doesn't allow checking in!

I ran out of sunflower oil so that was great. I bought some more and picked up some Hemp oil too. I made a pre-poo mix w/Hemp,Sunflower and WGO

I am experiencing less breakage. In the past, I would have breakage even after moisturizing.

my general reggie hasn't changed and I think I'm finally settling in on one. Hurray!
 
Can I join? I've been converted by lovely halee_J and her ceramide progress thread. :drool:

I hope this works out for me! I've been trying everything possible to try to smooth down my hair. It's unbelievably wild unless I take a flat iron to it. :nono:

How often will you use it? Every DC (once a week) and for sealing nightly
What is your application method? mix with condish for overnight DC
Will you deep condition with ceramides? Yep!
