So, I got up this morning and flat ironed my hair. I am so not used to my hair being this thinned out as I usually roller set. But, here are the results:

Awesome!!!

Still using Kukui Nut Oil to seal after moisturizing my hair.

How does this oil smell? BTW, Reecie was right. When I mix EVOO with WGO, the smell is not as offensive.

 

[TwistNMx]

I'd like to join also if it's not too late?

I purchased my wheatgerm oil last week and plan on pre-pooing with it when I take out my braid extentions.

I plan on sealing my hair with wheatgerm oil and shea butter as well.

last night I washed with my hair with KeraCare extension and weave poo( i love it on my real hair...lol). I conditioned with Skala G3 and sealed with hot six oil and little bit of argan oil. Then I put my hair in 2 big plaits to dry so I can throw on my wig.

What products/oils will you use?
Wheat germ oil, joico k pak, redkin anti snap, matrix biolage hydratherapie, ORS hair mayo, mizani H2O nighttime treatment, and loreal ever pure sulfate free shampoo fortified with ceramides.

What ceramide is in your product? Not sure yet, I will edit later.

What position is the ceramide in the ingredient line? Not sure yet I will edit later.


How often will you use it? I will use these products on a weekly basis.

What is your application method?
the mizani will be mostly for my ends and length but everything else will be applied root to tip.

Will you deep condition with ceramides? Heck yes!

Just wanted to know ladies, is this the kukui nut oil (body oil) that you are using on your hair? I have this at home, and use it after a shower to seal in moisture.

 

[TwistNMx]

This a.m. I washed with Nourish Hair Shampoo mixed with Wheatgerm Oil. I then traced it with my burt's bees condish which also gets rid of the awful WGO smell. I will follow once my braids dry with Jane Carter leave-in and aloe vera.

 

[simplyconfident]

I know I've been MIA but I'm still in love with my WGO, of course with the exception of the smell

 

[TwistNMx]

Still using wheat germ oil in my oil mix and conditioners....

I am too. I find it works out pretty well.

But still the pj in me keeps looking for the Skala leave-ins. I've been to 3 big lots...and had to travel quite a distance. They all said they had the product when I called, but when I arrived they suddenly understood english.

 

[Aggie]

After moisturizing my hair last night, I sealed with my trustee Kukui Nut Oil for my ceramide.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Just used a Vial of Matrix Hydratherapie & also some Kukui Nut Oil.

I think I still 'prefer' the HempSeed.

I self relaxed and used ORS Hair Mayo is my mid protein step yesterday, and let me tell you, MY HAIR FELT AMAZING!!! I left it on my hair for about 5 mins, and my hair just felt so revived, soft silky, happy again from being strpped by the relaxer. I have anew appreciation for the Hair Mayo now

 

[mzsophisticated26]

I am in love with hot six oil.. it smells delicious and leaves my hair so soft and moisturized. I just brought some jaborandi cond which I see wheat germ extract is waaaay down at the bottom of the ingredients list. I will cond with it tomorrow

Hey ladies! I have been slowly adding ceramides to my reggie since the start of this challenge. My last wash began with a wheat germ oil/olive oil prepoo (thanks, Reecie), and ended with a 1/2 vial of Biolage ceramides added to my DC, (thanks Taz)! I absolutely could tell that the ceramides made a major difference in how my hair felt. The softness, and the cuticle smoothing created by the ceramides lasted for days! My hair felt like a satiny feeling protective coating had wrapped itself around my strands. I have also started using the ceramide rich Aveeno Nourish Leave-in conditioner (found it at Bed/Bath and Beyond) as a moisturizer and sealant every few days, and I am in love with the smoother texture of my hair!
My hair is loving the Aveeno...its a light milky liquid that you can spray on dry hair, and doesn't cause too much reversion because it contains oils (wheat germ, mauritia flexuosa fruit oil, and glycerin), so I've been using it to "juice" my hair and ends with maximum benefits! It looks like this,

...and its not hard to find at your corner drug store. It does contain cones, and wheat protein, for those who are protein sensitive. But let me tell ya, it is my hairs new ceramide love!

 

[beautyaddict1913]

I love oil rinsing with rice bran oil. I used it Thursday for wash day. It helps to detangle my hair and leaves it so soft! I need to get more. I just dont know how I am going to do this when I have sew-ins. I guess I will oil my scalp with it and co-wash, but it will probably only be twice a month, I gotta preserve my goddess remy for 2 months lol!

 

[chelleypie810]

dc'd w/ silicon mix.

 

[bimtheduck]

Washed w Skala C3 shampoo and DCed w biolage hydratherapie and Ellin Lavar deep moisturizing masque.

 

[Aggie]

Sealed my moisturized hair last night with kukui nut oil for my ceramide.

 

[Ltown]

Use Skala G3 leave in and oil mix of hemp,wheatgerm, kuku oil.

I just bought some hot six oil myself a few days ago. I will be using it tomorrow. I have pure wheat germ oil and I say that to say that it's probably on the bottom of the ingredients list because it "stinks". However it doesn't last as I use leave-in conditioner and spray which takes care of it.

 

[Vintageglam]

Added a matrix biolage cera repair fortetherapie to my DC today.

 

[TopShelf]
