Hi ladies!

I don't know if I'm in this challenge or not, but I've been lurking and using ceramides since last summer during the other challenge :yep:. Is it too late to join?

This is what I currently do:

I do a HOT 1x/week, or every other week, with a mix of rice bran, coconut, Hollywood Beauty carrot, mustard, and castor oils. I love this stuff :yep:.

I also have a DC mix, which is heavy on the wheat germ (LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff), and also includes vatika, brahmi amla (sesame base), bhringaraj (sesame base), avocado, and macadamia oils.

Then I seal with a mix that has hemp seed butter and argan oil.

I'm lazy and I realize that my life is easier if I premix the oils into a container and then add the mix to whatever I'm doing, rather than trying to remember on wash day :yep:. All of the oils I've used individually so I know they work well on my hair, but like empressri said, I like stuff better when it's all mixed together :grin:.
 
Hey Ladies...

I DC'd last night AOHSR + WGO with heat for 15 minutes. Then 2-strand twisted my hair and sealed the ends with Grape Seed Oil...

Sent from my DROIDX using Long Hair Care Forum App
 
I dc'ed on saturday with hempseed oil and alter ego. Tonight i will co-wash with trader joe's nourish and a little hempseed.
 
This is me as well on all counts :yep: I am going to have to sample some other things. I would love to find a good ceramide conditioner to use for cowashes, or even a leave in. Maybe I will back and reread some posts, to refresh my memory. :yep:

Update me on that....
 
I have been on this challenge since it began (not really good at posting though) using wgo in my modified Kimmaytube leavin, DC with ceramides (wgo and hemp oil) but I'm not seeing any results (well my hair looks the same to me). What kind of results are you ladies getting from this challenge?

YoursTrulyRE Hi! Ceramides for me-Helped a great deal with tangles/minimizing tangles helps to retain (thickness).Hair is easier to comb...I need all the help I can get..


*Helps with tangles...

*Drying time is faster....

*Hair retains moisture....

*Hair has a natural shine....

*It took some time to figure out what oils worked best for me...

Did an egg mask to stop my excessive breakage. Mixed 1 whole egg w/ wheat germ oil and left on for 2 hours or so. I wanna call this my protein-cermaide mask because both chicken egg and wheat germ oil contain protein and ceramides. It definately repaired my hair and will be a staple of mine.
