trying a new formula

3% eucalyptus EO to my Castor, Olive, Apricot Seed oil mix. I apply to my scalp every other night.

I like it so far. It's all I'm using ceramide wise right now.

Hot oil pre-CW treatment with EVOO and WGO! Getting used to that WGO smell but I would never wear it out!

naturalnewb, try adding an EO. I am using WGO also and I added some grapefruit EO to it for the summer to have that clean citrus smell. If you do try it take a little oil out first and mix that with the EO that way if you dont like it, it wont be a whole lot wasted. But a smell cant really get no worse than that dang WGO smell LOL
 
Tonight I used HS 14 n 1 and WGO..... Ladies I want your help with a few things I know I want to continue using the ceramide oil and I am stuck between getting

(1) Hempseed
(2) Grapeseed
(3) Rice Bran
(4) Sunflower
(5) Africa's Best Oil

........I want it to be something that I can pick up at the VS or the grocery store. And I also dont want anything heavy, like the consistancy of the WGO is fine for me but I refuse to use something that is thick like castro oil. Come on now ladies I need your votes :yep:
 
I did an Oil Rinse this evening and it went very well. I used 1oz of Safflower Oil and 6 pumps of Aussie Moist. I made sure I washed the oil out with hot water before putting on my conditioner. And it felt like butter as I washed the conditoner out . Will try again nxt week on CW day.

M&S with HE LTR LI stuff/ WGO......

Where yall at?
 
:lol: bajandoc86 you know me so well! I typed a response but I guess it didn't post.

ZebraPrintLover Hempseed is it :yep: I rep dat all day!! :yep: Light, gives the hair a great smooth feeling, softens, gives great shine :cool2: thebomb.com basically.

Second place goes to Rice bran, which also gives great lasting shine, but its heavier (think EVOO) and it doesn't have the softening effect that hemp has.

This is great advice! I will try that (although the only EO I have right now is peppermint). And grapefruit seems like it would smell so delicious! I would love to put some juicy grapefruit smelling stuff on my head. What other EOs do you have?

:grin: I dont have any but my momma has plenty LOL. I am going off my dome...tea tree, peppermint, grapefruit, lavender, and a few more that I can remember at the moment.
 
I use this Nutiva Hemp Seed Oil



I also use this Manitoba Hemp Seed Butter


I get them both from Amazon.com they leave my hair feeling amazing.

Right now I'm experimenting and I mixed some hemp seed oil, olive oil, and a whole Banana in my Blendtec blender and put it on my hair. I've been chillin like this for half an hour and when I wash it out, I'll tell you how my hair feels.

But Hemp seed oil has made tremendous improvements in my hair.

TeeWhyAre Isn't hemp oil amazing?! It's like the perfect oil :grin:that nutiva brand is good, so is the manitoba harvest...I didn't know manitoba made hempseed butter too! Hmm I'll have to look for it at the health food store next time I go :yep: Waiting to hear the results of your conditioning mix :yep:
 
I just jumped on the blue magic grease bandwagon, but I've been eyeing this thread for a while! :lol: Might have to jump on this hemp oil thing. I don't do oil rinses. What else can I use this for? DC's?
 
DCing with AO HSR, some Aussie 3min, and WGO, and that magical hemp oil! I will probably sit under the heat for 45 minutes to an hour and then sleep with it overnight.

Okay, okay. I've avoided this challenge long enough. I'm in. :lol:

Silk Dreams Nourish Oil, Claudie's Quinoa Cream, Claudie's Balancing Daily Moisturizer and more. AND I'm gonna be ordering some hemp and kukui oils from iHerb. :yay:
