Still on my sealing 1x/ daily with my Hot Six. Im working my way on down from 9oz to 7.25oz. Lord it takes a long time to use the GOOD oil. I use EVOO and Safflower when I DC but I leave the smell good for sealing LOL....

Does grapeseed oil contail ceramides? I didn't see it under "Oils/extracts containing ceramides" on the first page

ETA: nevermind i read the above post

 

[chelseatiara]

Just got 8oz of grapeseed oil so im good to go

 

[Brownie518]

I loooove Grapeseed oil!!! Its nice and light and makes my hair silky and shiny!!

 

[halee_J]

Hemp oil is the bomb.com still using it daily

 

[allmundjoi]

Y'all are about to hate me. That above list is not ceramide percentage, but linoleic acid percentage. The actual ceramide in oils is not greater than 5%, I believe wheat germ oil has about 2%,one of the highest of the oils. I was researching ceramides a few months ago and came across this,

Y'all don't get mad at me.

At this point i cant even be mad at you because yall still helped me come across my beloved grapeseed oil it's okay

 

[TraciChanel]

Hi ladies,

I'm still co-washing with Jason's Naturals Jojoba conditioner...DC'ing w/ LS Shea Butter mango (full of ceramide oils). About twice a week, I am using a sulfur mix with grapeseed, hemp, and other EO's on my scalp (very lightly though). It absorbs in my scalp very quickly. Been doing that for about 2 months now. So far so good
HHG!

 

[bajandoc86]

@bajandoc86 can't wait to hear your reviews

Ok.... so here goes.
The grapeseed oil is nice and light. Doesn't weigh my hair down or make it feel 'oily/greasy'. Absorbed well. So...I like

The hempseed has a lovely nutsy/woodsy smell, when I put it on my hair the strands feel smoother . It's heavier than the grapeseed in my opinion, but I don't have a problem with that. It really helps with moisture retention when i seal with it after applying my glycerin/water/aloe vera gel mix.

I would really like to get my hands on wgo and rice bran oil.....the PJ in me is like 'buy them already will u!'

So far so good. I am loving me some ceramides.

 

[Brownie518]

I added a little grapeseed and hemp to my DC this morning. I ended sealing with my ceramide mix after my leave in. My hair dried so soft and silky.

 

[Shay72]

I put SSI Marshmallow Hair Cream on the length of my hair.

-Kimmaytube leave in OR Chicoro leave in (use a lot less oil)
-Use Mizani Thermasmooth Step 3 (heat protectant with ceramics)
-Tension blow-dry hair on low/medium heat
-Use Mizani Thermasmooth Step 4 as I flat iron hair with HAI 320-360 F

Nightly/every other night,
-Moisturize the ends with a little avg or HEHH or rose water/avg mix and seal with wheat germ oil(ceramides)/evco mix or plain evco
-Oil scalp with evco/evoo/emu oil/castor oil OR grapeseed oil/avocado oil (trying new lighter mix) OR plain evco.

Either roll with satin rollers or 2 strand twists with rolled ends
PS the curls into a bun or just pin curls up for a tousled look.

I am going to try and incorporate cowashs into my regimen too, 1-2x/wk.

Whew, HHG!
