Im excited. I finally got my sunflower oil. will be prepooing with it tomorrow. Ill probably mix it with argan oil and evoo.
 
empressri - I hope you are feeling better!! :yep:

I have also been sick since last week, with a sinus infection, sick as a dog, and SO kept saying 'Dang, you're hair is shiny and smooth!' I also had fallen on ice and hurt my back bad so the only thing I was doing was applying my ceramide mix and tying it up. :grin: I didn't even think about it til I saw your post.

Lita - I paid attention this time and I definitely noticed a shorter drying time under the dryer. I love that.

girl doing a soup and liquid diet, more liquid than anything!! you poor baby!! i hope you feel better!!

yeah i was using my mix all week. err left SO's pillowcase kinda dark too :lachen: but he's used to it. it will go in the wash this week
 
Okay, went and bought my Safflower Oil at lunch, will start tonight ..
Is it too much to add it to my silicon mix? lol

Not sure about this one.. I know people are adding oils to their conditioners.. My conditioners are the cheapy ones that I am adding the oils to..
 
@chelseatiara Argan oil is not a Ceramide..But,You can add it to your ceramide mix for extra shine & sealing...

*I added Argan oil with my Sesame & the results are past AMAZING!

Happy Hair Growing!

Just got done co-washing with Hempz. Going to use my usual leave in of Hempz, Castor, Aloe Juice. Instead of adding my usual WGO and sealing with Hemp Seed oil, I'm going to add Grape Seed oils. Then, I'll seal with WGO/HSO combined.

I've read that grape seed is a light oil. So that'll be in the leave in portion. Is Safflower a leave in, or sealant for you guys?
 
TODAY-Hot oiled my bang with Macadamia & Poppy seed oil/sulfate free poo wash out/Dc Moroccan Restorative mask 15 min (contains Canola oil-ceramide)/nioxin#8 scalp/Rinsed with BF Pistachio con/TW leave-in....Sealed with Sesame & Argan oil.....Full,Fluffy,Soft bang...



*I'm getting fabulous results with Ceramides and (the products with-out) I add it to....

Nasdaq_Diva I have used it as both/Remember a little goes a long way with Safflower oil (because) it goes on lite & when your hair drys (if heavy handed) it will feel & look greasy..Just watch the amount you use/either way (leave-in or sealant) its great...

Thanks, girl!! Yeah, I've been on tea and soup all week! :yep:

is argan oil a ceramide oil because i really <3 it lol

:yep: Argan oil is so nice, isn't it?? I just got some in the mail today and made a new mix with it and some ceramide oils.

@empressri and @Brownie518 I hope you ladies are feeling better :yep:

Thanks, halee!!
 
Lita:

Thanks for the activity you bring in this thread.

So, so far my grape seed incld in my leave in worked well. Sealing with the WGO and Hemp Seed has left tons of moisture in my hair STILL! So much shine, moisturized coils.

I'm going to use my ayurvedic powders tomorrow, afterwards use the same leave in recipe and sealing oils as today. If my hair feels as often as it does right now then :lick: I'll know its no fluke.
 
Hey ladies! I my routine and products are pretty much the same BUT I went through my stash and found QB's Tea Tree & Grapeseed Therapeutic Pomade. Ah, grapeseed you say, well I used it as a detangler and found it much easier and soften my ends much more than plain ol' EVOO.
 
UPDATE: Planning to use my ceramide enriched YTC CC later. :woot:

Can anyone tell me what ceramide oils they're loving currently? I plan to try a new oil after this bottle or the next bottle of safflower oil.

Aireen - I am loving Hemp Seed, Walnut, and Safflower :yep: Those are my top 3. Rice bran is excellent, also.
 
Nice...? Well, the hemp and the safflower don't have too much of a scent, IMO. I'll have to really take a sniff of the Walnut and see. I'll let you know.

Yeah I'm using Saff. right now and it's really light with hardly any scent. Walnut I'm guessing would smell nice and nutty? LOL. :lol:

These ingredients look great :yep: Glad you're liking it. I'm tempeted to try it but my hair probably won't like it because of the coconut oil. CO = hard hair for me :ohwell:

DarkHair Welcome! :D Your reggie sounds good, do you mix your oils?
 
Been cowashing with Oyin's Honey Hemp the past two weeks alternating with protein cowashers or reconstructors. Why did I just make the connection last night about "hemp" :look:?
 
This weekend I Conditioned with KeraPro Intense Treatment which has Safflower Oil, After I washed I used pure Safflower Oil and Cream of Nature Argan Oil Serum.

Gotta tell you, this is the softest and most manageable my hair has EVER been
 
DarkHair Welcome! :D Your reggie sounds good, do you mix your oils?

Thank you for the warm welcome :bighug: I surely will mix my oils. I'm currently taking out micros, and I presume it will take me until Friday. In the meantime im putting Joico K-Pak on my new growth. Hopefully my order of grape seed and WGO will be in. Since I'm transitioning, I'll also mix mine with mango and shea butters, and coconut oil.
