Are ceramics oils really effective? Vs synthetic ceramides? What difference are you ladies seeing? What are the most effective oils? Sorry for all d questions... Lol

JudithO Synthetic ceramides have higher benefit concentrations! Natural oils are penetrating and add instant smoothing benefits. GSO = Shine, Hempseed Oil = Smoothness, RBO = Manageability, Sunflower Oil = Shine and Smoothness... And the list goes on. As soon as I started using ceramide oils and products containing both synthetic and natural ceramides my hair instantly improved in health and condition. Trust.

MileHighDiva EnExitStageLeft It seems that Polar Oils (Coconut, Jojoba, Avocado) are better pre-poo oils to limit Hygral Fatigue; over Fatty Acid oils (as we have come to know ceramide oils to be) which, in relation to Hygral Fatigue, are more suited for sealing to block out excess moisture (to avoid swelling and shrinking once hair is dry and styled).

I think I need to switch my prepoo oils around for this hyral fatigue ish.
 
I have to agree with what everyone is saying, plus I really just love the silky feel my hair once I am finish washing and conditioning it, especially if I used a cermaide oil prepoo.
 
So I didn't get to Prepoo with my beloved hemp but i did use it to seal in my Dc left it in for a good hr.
My hair felt so good n so soft,not bad for 14 weeks post cuz by now id be freaking out

Hey Ladies, are any of yall using Saftfower(sp) oil? I might be spelling it wrong, I cant remember the exact name. If so, how are yall using the oil? Do you use it to seal in your conditioner, leave-ins or both?

I was trying out olive oil to seal in my moisturizers, but its leaving my hair frizzy. Prior to the olive oil, I was using Avocado oil (which I love) but I wanted to spice things up:)

That's a really good one, safflower oil never used it but i did my research.
I would also like to hear how the ladies are using it and the added benefits that they have noticed.

Hyacinthe pelohello... I use Safflower Oil. I use it as a prepoo. Apply oil, then conditioner, either steam for 20, or have it sit with no heat or steam for 1 hr. Its light and nourishing!!! Reminds me of GSO. If you are looking to seal in a moisturizer with a really good ceramide oil, I would try Hemp Seed or Rice Bran. Two of my absolute favs!
 
Ok y'all..... I'm going to start prepooing with grapeseed oil.... Will try to incorporate a ceramide DC too, or add wheat germ oil to my DC.... I'll keep y'all posted on my progress.
 
Anyone have suggestions for a good moisturizer to use before sealing with a ceramide oil?

Any water based/emollient rich moisturizer should do. I absolutely STAN for ALL of Darcy's Botanicals Moisturizers. I've tried pretty much all of them except 2 and I love them all the same.

Just make sure you pick the moisturizer according to what you hair likes, so if it like aloe vera...find one aloe vera rich, if it likes shea butter....find one shea butter rich and so on and so forth.

Thank you!
I do have SSI Brazil Nut but find that used alone along with a lot of other moisturizers, its too drying and used with an oil, its too greasy. I'm far from heavy handed but I'm wondering what I may be doing incorrectly.
I know what my hair doesnt like, but I guess I'm still figuring out what my hair doesn't like. :perplexed

No problem girl, I say go to your local beauty supply get 2 moisturizers test them out and branch out from there. I'm not saying try 100 different ones before you make a decision, but try a couple and see which one your hair responds best to.

Thank you for your advice! I'm going to start by revisiting some older moisturizers and afterwards, go shopping :grin:
 
I'm still in and going strong with the ceramides. Hempseed oil and I have fallen in love but I want to purchase some GSO soon. I used it all last spring/summer and I remember liking it a lot.
Incorporating ceramides into my routine on a more regular basis has made my hair a lot smoother and stronger. Definitely seeing the benefits!

Go to Nadege blog RelaxedHairHealth and look up ceramides, she has a ton of info
 
I'm in! Haven't been posting...but definitely maintaining my ceramide use. I had falling off earlier in the yr, and saw the difference. :nono:

I use wheatgerm oil :love:, and a hempseed/pumpkin seed oil mix.
 
So I def think I'm going to try the Hempseed oil. Hopefully, my natural food market sells it. If not, I'll have to order it online.
 
That is what I love about using ceramides, it really doesn't take much to really up your hair game with it. It can easily be fit in without adding more time to your daily or weekly routine.
