I washed yesterday WEN, after a pre-poo with coconut oil. Then DC with LS Shea Butter & Mango with steam for 30 minutes. Cooled and rinsed, then conditioned with Skala Ceramides. Rinsed. Used Nexxus Headress Leave In and IC Fantasia with Aloe. Sealed with ORS Olive Oil Lotion.

Ceramides in pink.

I just received my free sample of Gleau. If I like it, I will order some soon. It has WGO in it.
 
Hot Six Oil is on a roll for me. I bought some about 2-3 weeks ago and have since DC’d mixing it with honey and sealed w/it everyday. I haven’t worn my hair stretched since using it so I can’t say I’ve noticed a lot of difference but from what you ladies are posting, it’s a keeper. I plan on stretching my hair for tomorrow so hopefully I’ll be able to see a difference.
 
So I'm not officially in this challenge, but I want to be. I did Reecie's WGO/EVOO prepoo last night, and OMG! My hair has never felt so soft,silky and moisturized! That was the only thing I changed in my regimen this week, so this is def a keeper! I've had that bottle of WGO in my icebox for a long time, I didnt really know how to use it! Thanks Reecie for sharing that wonderful prepoo mix!
 
would the nexxus color ensure count. It has ceramide 3 in the ingredients. I would like to join this challenge but have alot of product and don't want to add too much more
 
I just pre-poo'd with WGO/EVOO, washed with Hair One olive oil, applied Joico Reconstructor and DC'd with Joico Intense Hydrator/Biolage Hydratherapie (with steam).

I am also trying a new leave in: Matrix Biolage Thermal-Active Repair Cream

I think that this may be a keeper! Once I dry my hair, I will know for sure.
 
Can I still join this challenge? If so, I will be using AO conditioners & Skala G3 conditioner & mask. I will use one of these conditioners 1x/week & DC w/ceramides. I would like to to pick up an oil. I like the idea of mixing WGO w/another oil so will try to find some this weekend.

I really like the Alba Botanica brand that I have. It's not very oily at all, smells awesome to me and goes on smoothly.

I use it on my skin as well and it doesn't leave me feeling all greasy because it absorbs into my skin really nicely:yep:.
 
I would like to join this challenge! I wasnt going to at first, because I didnt want to buy any more products. But over half my stash has either ceramide 3 or WGO in the ingredient list so I'm good to go! Yay!

What products/oils will you use? My YTCarrots and YTCucumber conditioner both have WGO. So does my Profectiv Oil Sheen and profectiv daily leave-in moisturizer. My motions leave in has WGO and I use Nexxus Ensure Acidity detangler with ceramide 3. I also purchased today some Proclaim ALoe Hot oil and Joico reconstructor. Ordering some WGO and Hemp seed today.

What ceramide is in your product? WGO and Ceramide 3

What position is the ceramide in the ingredient line? Its somewhere in there! :spinning:

How often will you use it? daily moisturizing and sealing, weekly deep conditions, oil rinses & leave-ins.
What is your application method? Prepooing, deep conditioning, leave-ins, oil rinses & sealing.

Will you deep condition with ceramides? Yes! Definitely!

I purchased my Kukui Nut Oil from Mountain Rose Herbs. It is not oily at all, it feels almost 'transparent' if that makes sense. :yep:

Almost weightless.:blush:

It smells like EVOO or a Corn Oil. But, it is incredibly 'lightweight'.

Well thanks to the Ceramides Oil Thread, I pulled my Kukui Nut Oil back out and will try it all next week to get a feel for it.

I automatically reach for the Hemp Seed Oil, because of the way it performs. But I will experiment with the Kukui Nut Oil.

:yep::yep: I will be pulling my body kukui oil out too to see if I like it as much as a hair sealant as I do when I use it to seal in moisture after a shower. Now I couldn't resist trying the walnut oil. I mixed it in my relaxer this past weekend, along with a vial of Biolage ceramides. Umm, ummm, yummy!!! My hair is elastic and bouncy again!! It's as if the ceramides are healing my fragile strands with elasticity, moisture and protection. :yep::yep::yep: I have a real appreciation for ceramides now. Thanks all!!:yep::yep::yep: I'll be trying my hemp oil out soon too. I might mix that in my next DC!
 
I just did a WGO/EVOO pre-poo, washed with Hair One Olive Oil, DC'd w/steam the Hydratherapie/Intense Hydrator.

Used the Redken Antisnap leave in, Joico Daily Care Moisturizer and sealed with Mizani Nighttime H20.

I just did 12-14 Bantu Knots for a Bantu Knot-out tomorrow. I am not sure about this Knot-out. :hair: :blush:
 
I'm still using my wheat germ oil/EVOO mix. LOVE IT! So East coast gals, did you know Giant is now carrying Skala products? I was about to buy some, but the conditioner was $5.49 :shocked: I know ya'll are buying it for $1.00 at Big Lots, so I had to pass.
 
I made a mixture of S-curl Styling Moisturizing Spray and kukui nut oil, shook it up and sprayed on my Elucence Moisturizing Conditioner drenched hair and wore it as a wash n' go this afternoon. It is still very soft and holding moisture exceptionally well.
 
I didnt know my yes to cucumbers conditioner had wheat germ oil until tri3nity mentioned it, but i luv it! Thursday I detangled my hair with rice bran oil and carol's daughter inner shine conditioner before I applied my bentonite clay, then I co-washed it out with Yes to Cucumbers....my hair was sooo soft!

I have been using Suave Almond and Shea Butter conditioner for a cowash, then using the Skala G3 conditioner after. This is a yummy combo. I also ordered a sample of Gleau. I like it too. I will ordering the full size of this. Also I will ordering a a castor oil mixture that has the following: Sunflower Seed oil, Olive oil, Coconut oil, Wheat Germ oil, Tea Tree oil, Jojoba oil, Almond oil, Shea oil, Hemp Seed oil, Vitamin E oil and Rosemary extracts in a base of pure Jamaican Black Castor oil, from here. This will benefit this challenge and the castor oil challenge I am in. :yep:

Is the Crisco still working? I bought some about two weeks ago but I just couldn't get past the fried chicken mental block. :dinnertime:

I may try it today when I take out these bantu knots.
 
^^^I still use it in my sulfur mix. It whips up really well and makes a pretty good creamy base. I no longer use it by itself though!
 
Used Kukui Nut this evening to Seal after my Co-wash. Will keep using Kukui Nut Oil this week. Still tryna' get a real feel for this super lightweight, transparent feeling oil.:yep:

I am almost out of my 2nd Bottle of Hempseed Oil.:ohwell:

So, I'll try out the Kukui Nut throughout the Summer and re-up the Hempseed in the Fall and maybe some Walnut Oil.

I still have an unopened bottle of Wheat Germ Oil.:yep:
 
I clarified with avalon lemon & shea and then used the skala g3 poo deep conditioned with ytcarrots hair & scalp mask, then used the g3 con. Loving it! Hair is swanging!:woot:
 
I washed my hair with CON on Saturday, conditioned with Skala g3 and suave almond/shea butter conditioner with some hot six oil heated in the microwave for about 15secs and applied a plastic cap for 30mins. I used kids organics shea butter detangler, organix coconut oil serum and hot six oil before blow dry. I have to find more CON old label I am out:sad: and I need to stop using ceramides g3 due to leaving my hair really dry. Also I was diagnosed with central centrifugal alopecia So I will be switching up my regi once the dermatologist gives me my treatment plan.
 
hey ladies I was in Walmart yesterday and I saw this shampoo by Palmolive( yeah the dishwashing liquid company...lol) it was in Spanish but I did recognize the word Ceramides. It was 2.47 for a 27oz, I did not buy it though. They had some other ones too called Maxi gloss
