I love Matrix Biolage Ultra-Hydrating Balm! My [natural] hair has been so silk-like for the past week and a half. I didn't even need to detangle with conditioner like I always do; the comb literally glided right though my 7 month transitioning hair. :grin: I know it was the ceramides!

It really feels as though each and every strand have be perfectly and lighly coated, but not oily. I've been trying to get this feeling with my braid spray with no avail.

Definitely a staple.:grin::grin:
 
I don't know if this was mentioned but Cermacides is also in Suave Professionals Damage Care Conditioner.. It's the knock off of Redken but its the last ingredient so I guess its not that much in there but thought I would share..
 
checkin in....used my AO HSR on dry hair last night. lots of ceramides in their products!
 
So nice, my hair feels like it's naturally oiled even after I shampoo twice.

Yesterday, my sister came over and braided my transitioning hair; usually, we have to oil it extensively in order for me to not be in much pain and for her to braid. A bit of breakage always occurs as well. But this time, no need for any outside influences in order to her to braid my hair. She went right though, no breakage, no pain, nothing.:yay:
 
I'd like to join this challenge. I have started using the Hot 6 oil to seal after moisturizing condish. I really like how my hair feels afterwards. I use condish that contains ceremides at least weekly. Before this board I had never really thought about protein vs moisturize. I just knew sometimes I didn't like the way my hair was feeling. Now I am getting armed with so much hair knowledge. I will get this hair in shape yet.
 
i just got some wheat germ oil!

don't get me wrong, the hemp, kukui and organic sunflower oils were doing well on my hair, but i just happened to see the whgo and finally got it.

the "probelm" is that it does not smell badly or have any smell whatsoever.

i know that sounds like a good thing, but given the reports i've read about people complaining about how bad it smells, i'm wondering how come mine doesn't.....

it is cold pressed, like it should be, but shouldn't it smell?

thank you so much for your help with this, MCrzyGR, but it's an italian brand called "Erboristeria Magenta".

i got it from the herbs store, so i though it was bonified, but when i opened the box and noticed that it had no smell to it whatsoever, i got apprehensive.:perplexed

Is it thick like castor oil?

Sorry I didn't see your post before,dunno how I missed it. Yes, similar to castor oil. I haven't tried it since. I just bought another bottle of hemp seed I really like it :yep:

Maybe I'll try it again mixed into conditioner or something. I tried matirx ultra hydrating balm, I like it :yep: and I noticed its got a wee bit of WhGO in it.

Still in this challenge somehow. I just plan on adding ceramides to my DC's. I'll eventually get some wheat germ oil.

All I can say is that the real stuff has a very strong smell, like cod liver oil or flax seed oil, so you may have a brand that may have been pressed or refined. Regardless it should still work, maybe not as well, but it should still work.
 
I'm still going strong with using ceramides. My hair texture is so smooth and soft as a result. Even my stylist commented on my hair texture.
 
I just started using keracare conditioning creme hairdress as a day time moisturizer, it contains sunflower oil (2nd ingredient). So far I like it!

i'm so glad you're getting great results with your ceramides!

which ones are you using?

thanks!
 
Got wheatgerm oil over the weekend. I'm just wondering why I ever stopped using it! Love it for both hair and skin.
 
Ok, so I'm going to give WhGO another go-round, this time a la Reecie's 50:50 mix with EVOO. I'll be pre-pooing with it, I hope it turns out good.
 
So I did the EVOO/WhGO pre-poo mix yesterday for like 2hrs ....:lick: I like this mix alot. I dunno why I didn't try this sooner. My hair was and still is so silky. I think I still prefer hempseed, which to me gives more shine and softness.
 
I have not officially joined this challenge , but I wanted to say thanks to Reecie for started it. I ordered some wheat germ oil from vitacost and received it last week. Friday night I pre-pooed with about 80% WHGO and 20% EVOO. The smell was not that bad to me. It smelled way better then the Alma oil and some of the other Indian oils I've tried. The WHGO oil is going to become a staple part of my regimen. My hair is so strong, and soft. I plan to start using it as a sealant and might even add some to my conditioners.

I get my ceramides from:

1)Skala Ceramides G3 mask, leave-in, and conditioner

2)Skala Jaborandi conditioner, which has Wheat germ oil in it

3)Aubrey Organics conditioners, which I use as DCs

4)Hemp seed oil, Wheat Germ oil, and Rice bran oil

I going to buy some sunflower oil to try out. I'm sure my hair will probably like it because my hair loves ceramides.
 
This challenge has helped me with a lot of hair growth and aided my relaxed hair with more thickness. My relaxed hair always was so limp in the past, but not anymore.:yep: I will never be without ceremides in my hair again.
 
I'm in!! 100% ready to start the challenge!

What products/oils will you use? Walnut Oil and Aubrey Organics Conditioner
What ceramide is in your product? ummm..ceramide!

How often will you use it? Walnut oil as a sealer every night, for pre-poo and Aubrey Organics Condish every other week.

Will you deep condition with ceramides? YES!
