I've been moisturizing with Claudie's Isha Nourishing cream and sealing with her Montego Bay oil. They cream has Wheat Germ and the oil has Meadowfoam and a few others. Love them, great combo!!
 
I finally ordered my oils from Garden of Wisdom. Reasonable prices and shipping :yep:. I got hemp seed, grapeseed, sunflower, and rice bran oils. I also got some hemp seed butter. I also ordered sealable tea bags too but that is for my ayurvedic routine.
 
I'm not in this challenge but I've been using my oil mix (50% hemp, 25% black castor, and 25% olive) to seal my hair every night since January and the shine that my hair has is unbelievable. I'm also noticing that my hair is much easier to comb through and it just behaves the way that I want it to more often than it ever did before. Thanks for giving me good ideas and a wonderful thread to lurk within!
 
cch24 The results you're getting sound wonderful, glad that ceramides are helping your hair become more manageable :yep:
 
Hi Ladies...Got my ceramide mix in last week: co-washed w/ jason's naturals jojoba, and oiled my scalp with my sulfur mix that includes hemp and grapeseed oils. My hair is looking and feeling good!
 
I sealed today with my mix of CoCasta with hempseed, safflower, and grapeseed. My hair is so smooth and shiny.

I CW this morning and added a moisturizing mix of HE LTR LI, water, S-Curl, Kera Care Essential Oils, Grape Seed Oil, WGO, and Peppermint Oil to cover the god awful smell of WGO...

It worked and I love the tingly sensation of the Peppermint Oil.
 
So I decided to try something new on sunday. I gave alter ego a rest and tried l'anza Healing Moisture Kukui Nut Conditioner mixed with hempseed oil. My hair was soft and kept it's moisture. Shocked its tuesday and my hair is still good.

Ltown, your mix reminds me of Claudie's Montego Bay oil. :yep: It has Nettle, Burdock, Horsetail, all that good stuff! :lick: Maybe I'll add some to my DC.
 
I have got to remember that an oil rinse with gleau oil followed by a cowash with Okra Reconstructor is the bomb.com :yep:. Soft and well defined wash & go.
 
I have been sealing my twists (cowash and retwist almost every night) w/hemp seed oil. I like it better than wheat germ oil. It smells better AND it makes my curly ends very smooth.

Sent from my DROIDX
 
UPDATE: Hopefully I'm not forgotten! I'm still in this challenge! I've been kind of up and down with it though. I haven't been using my safflower oil as much as I should but will be trying my best to stick it out for the rest of 2011.

Good news, I made MBL but won't be claiming it yet until I'm more confident in the length which will probably be near or by my next relaxer, I feel like I need my bangs to get longer before I claim the length. I'll make more updates in the future since I feel bad for not updating these challenges I committed myself to.

Anyway I'll be using the oil again in the following wash after my next. I really want to move on to try grapeseed so I'll be mixing a lot of this in my conditioner to use it up. Has anyone posted picture comparisons yet?! :lick: I need motivation! :lol:

EDIT: Okay so now I'm thinking of using my AO WC for my next wash or my ORS Hair Mayo. So many choices... :spinning: :drunk:

My ceramide usage is through the use of Mizani H20 frequently throughout the week. It's multi-purpose since it addresses breakage and contains ceramide. I use it in very light quantity because of the oily buildup associated with applying too much product. I rarely use oil these days. I normally moisturize and "seal" with Mizani H20, if you will. Not really an oil for sealing but I'm simply using this term loosely since I am applying it over my moisturizer. I use a pea sized amount (or smaller) for my entire head.
 
Lightly oiled my scalp with JBCO mix...Sealed with Sesame seed oil....




Happy Hair Growing!

I'm still on my wheat germ oil, ssi marshmallow cream, and I seal with my butter mix or grapeseed oil. I use these things daily now because I started cowashing errday:grin: I'm loving the way my hair feels now....I can't imagine not retaining my growth!

I'm still doing the above things and I retained all my growth last month (a little over .5in) I don't wear my hair out much because I'm very concerned about my ends and them touching my clothes. My overall regimen is also the same except I'm starting to DC for a longer period of time.
