2011 Ceramides Challenge

[halee_J]

Hi Charla I don't have scientific evidence, but I can tell you that I do notice a difference in the feel of my hair when I slack on sealing with ceramide oils. True, I don't think alot can get through at any one time with a heavy moisturizer but I think the effect is cumulative

Hey Ravengirl Of course! Come join us, the more the merrier! Our ceramide reggies are very similar!

 

[Meritamen]

halee_J Cool, I hope my hair will be bling blinging soon like yours. How often do you do the HOTs, I haven't decided how to incorporate them yet?

 

[Charla]

Thanks, HaleeJ! I do believe in cumulative effects! I'll keep it in my shea butter too!

DC last night with AE Garlic condish mixed with hempseed oil and a dash of avocado and coconut oil. Moisturised with ma usual mix and sealed with hempseed/grapeseed oil combo.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Did a nice DC at 6am with Silicone Mix/Humectress and added grapeseed, safflower and argan oil for 30 minutes. My hair feels and smells so good!

[Brownie518]

Moisturized with Claudie's Quinoa Coffee Hair Cream #1, which has several ceramides listed, then sealed with her Montego Bay oil.

 

[halee_J]

Did an o/n pre-poo with hemp oil on Friday. Will do another on Wednesday. Still sealing with hemp oil daily

 

[bajandoc86]

Hempseed oil is the BIDNESS!! 'Tis all.

 

[greenandchic]

After cowashing, I sealed with my kukui nut oil and sunflower oil blend.

 

[Charla]

Just updating my ceramide usage.

DC -- Lustrasilk Cholesterol Shea Butter.

Prepoo -- Hemp seed oil.

Moisturize/seal -- 15 pumps of the Aussie Moist with 2 teaspoons of hemp seed oil (this lasts me for about 7-10 days. I only have to apply it about every 2 days. I apply it after I spray with avj+glycerin.)

 

[Brownie518]

I mixed the last of a bottle of CoCasta with some Emu and Hempseed. Been sealing with that. Love it!!!! Hair is so soft and shiny!

 

[Shay72]

Will do a HOT then oil rinse with gleau oil today. I figure I will finish it up this month and move on to a different oil. It will be a repurchase but I have so many others oils it can wait. I'm contemplating doing a mix of gleau, sunflower, hemp, grapeseed, and rice bran oil for a super ceramide mix. I'll just mix it in the gleau bottle.

 

[adamson]

I just wanted to mention that I'm still using ceramides (hemp seed oil) and it is probably the best thing I have learned from this forum.

 

[halee_J]

adamson Yes! I've been saying that ceramides are the best thing sonce deep conditioning

 

[allmundjoi]

Will wash, DC, moisturize and seal tonight when I get home. I think my ends feel silker with hemp seed oil than wheat germ oil. I promise its not all in my head.

 

[Brownie518]

i've been using my mix of Hempseed, Walnut, Safflower, Rice Bran, in a base of CoCasta to seal and as a prepoo. Its been working great.

Because of you I made a mix of hempseed, sunflower, rice bran, and grapeseed oil with a base of gleau oil . I like it alot. Next time I will try it with a base of cocasta. I think I may try it with a base of vatika frosting at some point too.

Is it too late to join in this challenge?
I've been using ceramides as a staple since the beginning of my journey. Wheat germ oil is my oil of choice. I use Biolage cera repair every 3 weeks or so and Silicone mix often.

Hey, allmundjoi, because of you I have recently been using hemp oil on my skin, mixed with my body lotion OMG my skin is so supple and moisturized, I'm buying hemp oil by the liter now Thanks so much for that tip! I can't imagine life without it now

You can do that? *plots*

Seriously, though. I love this stuff.

 

[Minty]

did a hot oil treatment with rice bran and olive oil. I'm so happy to no longer have crunchy/frizzy/bent ends. It's been like this for the past year I've been using ceramides.

Picked up the Loreal overnight treatment with ceramides last week. I haven't used it long enough to say if its good, but its a nice alternative to say Mizani H20 because it looks like its gel based with little oil.

Sounds like your hair is doing well I used to have weird ends too, ceramides definitely helped alot with that.
