OMG, jus tried this WGO. It is the funkiest thing on the planet. It really needs something that can mask the odor. I was gonna say smell, but it is an "odor". Deep conditioning overnite sealed with WGO. Hope I get fantastic results. I will let you know.:spinning::spinning:

You've got that right. :yep:
I mix it in my conditioners and "rinse out".

I just went into my stash and pulled out a tube of Fekkai Shea Butter Hair Mask. It contains Safflower seed oil, Sunflower Seed oil, Macadamia seed oil, etc. I'm going to try this straight without adding anything. I didn't know this was a Ceramide conditioner!

Hey AJJ...Thanks for the info...I have this as well

I think I will try it as a DC on dry hair overnight...



*shout out to IDTH*
 
I bought some WGO last night due to some breakage I've been having. I'm thinking about ingesting it, as well as applying to my ends (maybe even baggy) a few times a week.
 
I co washed today with Lustrasilk's cholesterol (contains wgo)... and I have added wheat germ oil to my cantu shea butter leave in conditioner. Love those ceramides!
 
I love hemp seed oil on my hair but gosh I HATE the smell.

I actually like the smell of the WGO :(
 
I tried just for giggles Ion Moisture Solutions Moisturizing Treatment(WGO in it) as a leave in and Qhemet Amla over it. I'm really surprised my hair stayed moisturized all day. This weekend I will use it as a treatment lol.

Right now I'm doing an overnitght treatment with AO and added a little sunflower oil to it. Hopefully it will turn out alright.
 
@ missjay09

If it has not been mentioned yet...there is an easy way to get ceramides internally...Phytophanere vitamins have quite a bit of ceramides - it's an excellent vitamin and it takes about 3 months to see results..

Wheat Germ Oil, Carrot (Daucus Carota) Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Fish Oil, Borage (Borago Officinalis) Seed Oil, Brewer's Yeast, Acerola, Glycerin, Marine Gelatin, Sunflower Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, CI 73575, CI 73200
 
I'm in. I'll join too.

What products/oils will you use? Alpha Rice Bran Oil
What ceramide is in your product? Don't know: Rice Bran oil
What position is the ceramide in the ingredient line? (EXAMPLE: 3rd ingredient or 8th ingredient). 1st I think
How often will you use it? Daily oil rinse/wash and moisturizing with rosewater/ricebran oil/water.
What is your application method? oil rinses and moisturizing spritz, may add to Deep Conditioner as well
Will you deep condition with ceramides? May add to Deep Conditioner with Heat Cap.

Hi there,

Do you mind me asking how this is working out for you? I have fine strands and while I find the wheat germ oil to be an awesome ceramide rich oil it is just too heavy for my fine/thin strands.

thanks in advance for your response,
tishee

I have REALLY fine hair and rice bran has been my saviour. plus it's cheap.
 
Has anyone seen thicker, stronger strands? My strands are fine, too many are split and overall seems weak. Using sunflower oil a minimum of 4x's per week and applying hempseed on dry hair every other week.

Re phytophanere: saw very good results. Switched to Hairfinity. I'd like to take ceramides without swallowing oil. Any inexpensive, over the counter suggestions?
 
My AO with sunflower oil added overnight dc was a success:grin:. My rough ends feel much much better and the silky ones(due to henna) feel amazing. This is my first overnight dc success, not sure though how often to do it. I am supposed to henna this weekend, would it be overkill to add a ceramide oil to the mix? Hmmm decisions!

I have done a couple of times now. I pour coffee in my mixture to form a paste, let it cool off and then mix in the WGO. This creatures and very smooth paste and it rinses out nicely.:yep: My hair is soft afterwards. (Try adding WGO to the brahmi/shikakai/hibiscus mixes--yummy!)

No mushy hair or anything--for my hair at least. Shiny hair is in order!

I would like to state for the record that WGO is one of my new bestest friends :grin:! Now I have a deep and abiding love for avocado oil that is going nowhere fast, but I've had to add WGO to my list. The past three deep conditions I've done I've added a dollop of WGO to them, and my hair is SSOOOOOOOOO easy to detangle afterward! The comb just glides through, it is so soft. I do not cease to be flabbergasted. Sadly I couldn't find my avocado oil for last night's DC, but on Sunday I'm quite sure the heavens will open when I combine the two :lachen:. Loving this challenge :yep:.
 
I have been doing hot oil treatments with my Gleau Oil and sealing with every now and then. I will try and remember to add it to my dc on Sunday.
