Pre-pooing tonight with rice bran oil. My relaxed hair is beginning to feel a little mushy so the rice bran is back in rotation :yep:
 
Update: Been using solely grapeseed oil and I LOVE it so much! Great for sealing! I am going to try the grapeseed butter next.

I used the Redkin Anti Snap and wow, I didn't lose many hairs. I am relaxed 4B. Last week I washed my hair and put the Anti Snap in and let it air dry. My beautician pressed my hair, but it was a little tangled when she was brushing it out. I just have to figure out where I am going wrong in that regards, but loving the Redkin Anti Snap. This is a good thread.
 
Hey ladies!

I did a corrective relaxer today, and I used Redken Deep Fuel mixed with Joico K-Pak for my protein step. Also used GVP Anti-Snap leave in.

Doing an overnight DC w/ AOWC tonight.

HHG!!!
 
I will be sealing with Moku serum this morning. The ceramides have definitely made a difference with my hair. Earlier this week I was actually able to wear my hair in a bob. In the past my hair wouldn't lay right and would be sticking up all over the place. I am so happy about that because me & my supervisor are leading two back to back trainings today and I like wearing the bob vs. a headband.

So I bought some HOT SIX oil. I love it for sealing. I also use it in my sulfur mix, that I use on my scalp. It is not as heavy as I thought it would be, and it leaves my end so silky. Can you say KEEPER :up:

This is what I use and I LOVE it too!

I'll be glad when I use up some of my oils so that I can try rice bran and a few others I've seen mentioned within this thread.

I been saying the same thing since I have came into this challenge, but to this day I have only used 1/2 oz of my HOT SIX. I have a small list just sitting in my phone to be checked off!

I've been hearing alot of good things about this anti-snap...I'm tempted.
 
What ceramide oils/products will you be using? safflower, hempseed, and wheatgerm oils

How will you be using them? (pre-poo, shampoo, DC, leave-in, sealing etc) pre-poo and sealing

How often will you be using them? every other day
 
Have been using hemp seed, grapeseed, and wheat germ...will continue to use and experiment with other oils rich in ceramides...my hair loves the grapeseed oil best! My hair also loves Hot 6 Oil...and this oil has a generous amount of oils with ceramides and some good herbs...this is a staple of mine.

I like the hemp seed oil but with it only lasting 8 weeks from the time it is opened I am less reluctant to repurchase it. The wheatgerm oil is tad bit heavy for my fine strands but when combined with the hemp seed oil my hair seems likes cookies for some reason. I have not opened the safflower oil yet but plan to this weekend when I prepoo.
 
morehairplease about the hemp oil lasting for 8 weeks; JMO, but I think that applies to consumption. I have abottle that I purchased and started using a while ago, like nearly 4 months ago :look:. I've kept it in the fridge and its fine, works the same to me. I haven't noticed any change in the smell or consistency.

wow, thanks so much for sharing this! This occurred to me but I wondered if the expiration date was meant for consumption or not. I have fine strands and not much hair and this bottle has lasted me for some time now. When I first brought it, I attempted to take a tbsp. and quickly spit it out and made a prepoo with it.
