***Ceramide rich oils: Which do you like best?

[halee_J]

Hey ladies,

For those of you that use oils containing ceramides; with which oil have you seen the greatest improvement?


Side question: Does anyone know which oil contains the most ceramides?

TIA

***ETA: there's a poll now too

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Don't know 'which' has the most, but I am currently enjoying:

HempSeed & Wheat Germ. I have Kukui Nut, but haven't used it enough to actually tell.

May purchase Walnut Oil at some point (which also contains Ceramides).

Nice Thread HaleeJ

From what I've been reading, researching, etc. supposedly the wheatgerm oil / hempseed oil is supposed to be the hot ones.
I just purchased this brand wheatgerm oil yesterday at the Vitamin Shoppe for only 4 Dollars. HTH

that looks like the 1st bottle I purchased. Although I think it was like $7.00 or $8.00

My latest one came from Mountain Rose Herbs.

Be careful. I used to order from them, but they aren't very honest anymore with their prices as of a year ago so I moved on.

How is it working out for you? How are you using it?

Oh? Have you tried the other oils? If so, what makes sunflower oil better?

Whipping out the credit card ...

Thanks for the responses Maybe I should add a poll. The way this is going y'all making me wanna get like 3-4 oils

 

[MonPetite]

Wheat Germ Oil FTW! I wrote a post about how ceramides help hair, especially the chemically altered set here.

 

[Americka]

How is it working out for you? How are you using it?

It is very light. Even lighter than grapeseed oil, IMO. Sometimes I use it to seal at night prior to setting my hair. I LOVE to run a tiny dab of it through each curl as I am taking down the rollers. No heaviness - just shine!

Hey Taz!

I have never tried the other two, so I honestly don't know which one is better. I love it for its lightness and the shine it gives my hair!

Thanks for Posting this Thread.

I will have to pull out that Kukui Nut a little more and give it a fair try. I LOVE the Hemp Seed. (prolly a little more than the Wheat Germ).

 

[NIN4eva]

Great Thread!

 

[angellike]

just FYI I was in TJ Maxx today and they had cans of walnut and sunflower oil, 16oz for 5.99 in the cooking section, i dont kno if grapeseed oil has ceramides but they had that as well.

What brand of sunflower oil do you use?

 

[Americka]

What brand of sunflower oil do you use?

Spectrum Naturals Organic (Refined) Sunflower Oil - I purchased it at Drug Emporium. I almost passed out when I saw all of the oils in that place!

 

[Sharpened]

I have only tried hemp seed oil so far and liked it. I have some rice bran oil to try next.

 

[classychic1908]

I have wheat germ, but the smell is not my favorite.

Which brand please? Of the hemp seed oil.

 

[TwistNMx]

I swear I'm becoming a hair product junkie again...lol

 

[Sharpened]

Which brand please? Of the hemp seed oil.

Amazon had it on sale in a two-pack. Essential oils can balance out the smell.

 

[magviv]

I love sunflower oil too! I went in Dollar General the other day and saw sunflower for $1 per bottle!! It wasn't organic though. I may go back and get a bottle just to check it out.

Thanks to Your Thread, Ms. HaleeJ: I pulled my Kukui Nut back out. I will use it religiously all next week to get a real feel for it.

I always reach for the Hemp Seed because I know it performs exceptionally well.

I didn't see Wheat Germ on the Poll, maybe I missed it?

No, it's not there. I'm sure it was an accidental oversight.

 

[LaidBak]

OP You left off wheat germ oil. That one is tops in my book.

This is what I'm using and it's really helping my hair, especially my ends!

 

[Sharpened]

I wish I could try them all so I could rank them, but I have serious nut allergies. Is there anyway to find out which has the most ceramides?
