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 WTO will be in. Since I'm transitioning, I'll also mix mine with mango and shea butters, and coconut oil.

DarkHair - welcome!! :grin:
 
I've been oil rinsing and sealing with grapeseed oil and hemp seed oil for about a month and I really don't find that they do anything special to my hair. I'm trying to use up the hemp seed oil and the grapeseed oil is only for cooking now. My hair feels better with jojoba, olive, and coconut oils.

I have been using a conditioner with sunflower oil in the top ingredients that my hair really likes, so I might experiment with that, but overall I don't think ceramides do anything for me. Aubrey organics jojoba & aloe conditioner actually over conditioned my hair and took a while to recover from

Am I doing something wrong? Is anyone else not getting great results from ceramides?
 
leiah you may not be doing anything wrong, not everything works for everybody. Having said that though, have you tried them as a pre-poo? personally I get the best results from these oils as a pre-poo treatment. Since your hair likes the condish with sunflower oil iwould try that as well. Whatever you decide, keep us posted :yep:

I agree, the Hemp seed oil worked really great as a pre-poo my hair was so smooth after shampooing it out, if I was brave enough I could have just applied a leave-in and kept it moving:lol:.
 
Hi all, I am joining as a latecomer (and newbie) to the ceramides challenge. Here are my answers:

What ceramide oils/products will you be using?

Grapeseed oil, Hemp oil

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

Hemp oil for pre-poo; Grapeseed oil for leave-in and as a heat protector when I thermal press my edges

How often will you be using them?
Pre-poo every week and leave-in every other day
 
YAY! I got my hempseed and walnut oil from soapmaking.com... I'm so happy! Liking the smell of the walnut not so much the hempseed. Plan on alternating each oil when pre-pooing just to see if I can tell tell a difference. Also might swing a oil in my leave-in. YAY! I couldn't wait... While typing this I paused a sealed with the walnut... :)
 
Oiled my edges & parts with Brahmi..

*Rubbed Sesame seed & Argan oil thru my hair...


Happy Hair Growing!

Lita,
How often are you using your brahmi pack? That's my favorite powder. I did a full brahmi pack today w/100g mixed with hibiscus tea :lick:

Added my leave in and sealed with grape seed, WGO and hemp seed. Hair feels lovely.:drunk:

I did a HOT the other day with Safflower oil. Last night, I oiled up with the Grapeseed and let it sit for a while then washed. I just sealed up with my ceramide mix.
 
did wash and goes all last week, and just scrunched a little of the oil into my curls. but it got so cold again so i twisted my hair two days ago and i just rub the oil into my twists before wrapping my hair at night.

i used sweet orange eo in it and SO was sniffing my head tonight.
 
Still using Hot Six daily to seal and added Safflower Oil to my CON GREEN shampoo.....

I used a little BFH leave in and sealed up with Walnut and Grapeseed mixed. :yep:
 
stopped adding wheat germ oil to my cowash mixture but I added it to my egg protien and DC mixtures and I still seal my ends with it almost daily. SHESCENTIT marshmallow hair cream is doin a great job hiding the stinch that is wheat germ with its super sweet smell so its all coming together now! I need to get on the ball with using that sunflower oil for oil rinsing I always forget it!!
 
I shampooed last night and used Joico K-pak reconstructor and followed with AOHSR as a DC... I usually add WGO to it... but didn't want to be bothered with the god awful smell... lol



Sent from my DROIDX using Long Hair Care Forum App

Took a little break from the ceramide oils in recent months. Just decided to use products that have ceramides in them instead.
 
Since I started on this challenge, I have experienced the softest hair I have ever had in my life. I have been using KeraPro Intense Conditioner and Safflower Oil. I cant wait to see what my hair is like this summer !
 
I started using alter ego with garlic in it. I stopped the shedding instantly. I mixed it with hemp seed oil and dc'ed for about 15 with heat then kept it one for about 2 hours. I will still use my trader joe's for co-washing instead.
 
Shescentit's Marshmallow Hair Cream has wheat germ oil, sunflower extract, and hemp seed oil in it. I love this stuff. It is a staple. I use it as a moisturizer on dry hair.
 
Welcome TraciChanel :)

Y'all I was so sick for the last week I haven't been able to do a thing with my hair except apply leave-in and hempseed oil and its been holding up well :yep:
 
Took out my braids & finger combed/used shower comb on ends/Applied Rice bran & Sesame seed oil on length/Njois Creations pomade butter on ends/Re-braid...Little Brahmi oil on my scalp...



Happy Hair Growing!
