Dang it! I just purchased a 16oz of Nutiva Hempseed Oil for $7! And what did I do? Drop the mug on the floor as I came in the house! Now the GLASS bottle has a crack at the bottom-oil is all over the floor. Smh. I am so annoyed right now. I have half a mind to lay on the floor and roll my head in it and call it a prepoo!

Dampen my braids rose-water,applied KBB Milk & sealed with Walnut oil......




Happy Hair Growing!
 
M&S with Hot Six as usual. And I got some WGO on its way.... Yayyyy I am happy, its something new. Any ups on it, is it thick or thin cause I have fine hair so I dont need anything that feels like castro oil.
 
Started using Hot 6 & Aphogee Green Tea on the twists, and that gets a thumbs up. Still retwisting with Jah Bless pomade...

After finding a good moisturizer (Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer), I don't have a need to seal anymore. I only moisturize 1x daily (at night). But, this week I will do a little experiment. I will apply a little hemp to my hair in the a.m. before bunning for added shine and keep with moisturizing at night to see if I can tell a difference at the end of the week. I really need to find creative ways to rid myself of oils since I no longer prepoo and seal.
 
Deep conditioned with alter ego garlic and hemp seed. I'm scraping the bottle as we speak and i love it but also looking for another deep conditioner to go along with it.
 
Thank you. I have not been able to confirm ceramides in my products, and I have grape seed oil and Garnier Fructis Strength & Repair melting masque (and the poo/condish) already in the house. The Garnier products read "ceramide reconstructor" but I cannot find any identifying ingredients.

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.

The bolded is the chemical name for a type of ceramide.
 
Recently used Marula & Hemp Butter from SSI. I like it. I'm not sure there is a huge difference bw it & the Marshmallow Hair Cream. They have ceramides in them. In the Marula & Hemp there is sunflower extract and hemp seed oil. I'm thinking it may be the same with the Marshmallow Hair Cream. I'm under the heat cap right now so I can't go look.

Will most likely order from Camden Grey today. My sweet almond oil is well below the bottom of the label :woot: . I will order hemp seed oil, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, rice bran oil, and hemp seed butter.
 
Okay so I tried a week of using a very small of hemp daily and it was too much for my hair. Made me very oily. Will stick to overnight prepooing with straight ceramides to use up product. Last night I did an overnight HOT with warm evco and wheat germ oil.

Side Note: My hair does well with very small usage of Mizani H20 daily or every few days. It contains ceramides so I still gets my ceramides in one way or another.

I have been alternating btw wheat germ and hemp oil for sealing. For those who are trying to use up their oils-put it on your body. We have natural ceramides in the outer layers of our skin that make skin supple. I have been putting these oils, particularly hemp oil, on my skin and my skin is sooooo soft. I shower, pat dry and put a lil oil on. I am not oily, just adds a lil sheen to my skin. My feet, esp my heels, thank me.

Hi Ladies, still using my grapeseed oil for sealing the perimeter of my hair. Using jason's naturals organics jojoba conditioner for co-washing and LS shea butter mango for DC'ing. Weekly, I apply a sulfur mix to my scalp that contains hemp, jojoba and grapeseed oil as well.

Extremely dry skin has always been an issue for me. I solved that problem by putting oil on while damp and following up with shea butter. No dry skin issues since then. I use Hairveda's Avosoya on my skin. It has hemp seed oil in it.

I'm very over due on washing my hair but ceramides is a means to make my hair look good even when it's not. It gives it sheen and helps to smooth the hair down to make it look very presentable. It's my go to when I'm hair wash day delinquent as am I now. I usually wash weekly but I'm over due this time around. Life has been busy.
 
Dampen my hair with water,Applied BF Castor seed cream on top,Sealed with Walnut oil...Lightly oiled scalp with JBCO mix...

I seem to have the least exciting ceramide routine :lol: still pre-pooing and sealing with my beloved hemp oil :yep:
 
^^^Mine isn't so exciting either, LOL, I'm going to start oil rinsing this Sunday and every Sunday til September with grapeseed and safflower oils.

So I had a cart full of all my oils at Camden Grey but I emptied it when I learned shipping would be $15 for a $30 order. I will be looking at New Directions Aromatics today.

ms_b_haven06...Yeah... I can't stand that smell either. I could never seal with it... I only add it to my DC's and then CW with a nice smelling Con

I doubt that I will reorder once it runs out...
