I'm doing an oil treatment with Grapeseed and Coconut oil on my today. I'm gonna massage a little JBC oil on my scalp only and go under the dryer for 30-40 minutes.

I may have to check out this hemp oil it sounds good.

Sent from my Zio using Zio
 
I'm still using hemp seed oil in my dc and grape seed oil to oil rinse and seal my hair. My hair is in love. It's also thickened up a bit.
 
I just oiled up with my ceramide mix - a base of hemp seed with some walnut, rice bran, safflower, sesame, and pumpkin seed oils. Hair is smooth and silky!
 
Oil rinsed and sealed with Silk Dreams Nourish, which has a mix of yummy oils including safflower, rice bran and wheat germ. :lick:

I've also been using Claudie's Elixer daily and my scalp is loving it. I love that the Elixer has ceramides in it. :spinning:
 
Couldn't find Hemp oil, so I bought grapeseed oil today. Now what? Seal with it? Oil rinse with it?
I should probably just seal with it because I only bought 2 small bottles. and that was $10!
 
I mixed sunflower oil with my dc, oil rinsed with a mix of sunflower and WEN Fig oils, sealed with Claudie's Garden Oil and massaged Claudie's Elixer into my scalp.

I'm a ceramide machine. :lol:
 
So I sealed and oil rinsed with grapeseed oil tonight. My hair feels soooooooo soft and....different. Never felt it like this before. Thanks for this thread! :yep:
 
Oh and I was gonna buy sunflower oil from the store but it said refined. I don't know if that's the one to get. I think unrefined is the better one right?
 
I am new to thinking about ceramides in my reggie. I have always used AOHSR off and on throughout my HHJ and it does a good job, but it is too thick for my hair and doesn't rinse out easily.

I have read this thread almost entirely and decided to purchase hemp seed oil because of the great reviews. I am sitting with hemp seed oil on my hair right now with Kenra MC for an overnight DC. I first applied hemp oil to my hair and WOW. My hair felt instantly soft, which never happened before with any other oil. After a few minutes, my hair went back to rough, but not as much as before. I added Kenra to my hair and a plastic cap and will rinse and poo tomorrow. I hope that wonderful feeling I got from the first application of the oil wasn't a fluke. If my hair responds well, I may have to join the challenge to keep track of my progress.
 
fluffyforever I'm so glad you gave hemp oil a try :) that is exactly how I felt the first time I tried it; I never had an oil soften my hair like that. What's really amazing is that it's so light and absorbs quickly yet really packs a punch in terms of softness and shine. Can't wait to hear about the results of your o/n DC :yep:
 
pookaloo83 glad you like the grapeseed :yep: wrt the sunflower oil, the less refined he better but I see people raving about the regular kind from the grocery store. youneedtotryhempseedoil.org :look: :yep:

When I used AO HSR I diluted it with water 1:1. This made it work better for me. Although I did not repurchase it because I prefer my conditioners to work well on their own.
 
I oil rinsed last night with 1oz of Safflower and Aussie Moist afterwards. Felt good as usual......
Then I M&S w/ HE LTR LI stuff and WGO
This morning I M&S with HS 14n1 and WGO

See you ladies tonight.

Dc'ing now with Sitrinilla and Claudie's Garden Oil. This stuff has every ceramide oil in it... hemp, safflower, sunflower, grapeseed, rice bran, wheat germ... ALL of 'em! :lol:

ETA: I rinsed out the dc and my eyes damn near popped out of my head because my hair was so soft. I almost didn't wanna cowash for fear of messing up the softness, but I improvised on the spot and mixed my oil rinse mix (sunflower & WEN Fig oils) with my cowash conditioner (Hairveda Acai Phyto) and co-oil rinsed. :giggle:

After showering, I didn't wanna mess with the flow, so I mixed Silk Dreams Nourish Oil with Silk Dreams Silky Soft Leave-In... so all in all, my hair is buttah right about now. :grin:

Looks like I'm gonna be mixing ceramide oils in aaaall of my conditioners from now on. Woot! :woot:

Well I didnt add anything to my hair tonight, I will just do it in the morning w/ HE LTR LI stuff and WGO as usual. Goodnight ladies see you in the morning.
 
Okay I want to go all in with the ceramides. I just ordered some more Claudies (Scalp Elixir, my Isha to moisturize and Pomade to seal). I've got my Lutrasilk on deck for my Pre-poo, and I just bought some Biolage for DC.

Now I'm looking for some good ceramide oils to do oil rinses. Any suggestions?
 
halee_J....I was looking at hemp seed oil but it is quite expensive to do oil rinses. I will look into sunflower and grapeseed to see how much they cost.

Thanks for the info.
 
YoursTrulyRE Do you have Claudie's Garden Oil? You can oil rinse with that. I do. :love: I mix it half and half with sunflower oil to dilute it and make it last longer.

Which pomade do you have? How is it? I ordered the Louise Pomade and can't wait to use it!
 
@tiffers....I have the temple balm, which is a pomade but not listed under her pomade section. I like it a lot. I use this then a thin layer of JBCO when sealing my hair.

I looked at the Louise pomade it looks :lick: I may try this when I run out of temple balm.

I just ordered the Revitalizing pomade, which has sulphur, bc I can control it more than the elixir when my hair is not in twist. That way I don't get it all over my hair.

I haven't tried the Garden Oil but I was looking at sunflower for oil rinsing. Since you say it's good, I may have to try it out.

So when I rinsed out the DC, my hair was really soft... that is until I used shampoo. My hair wasn't hard or anything, and never stripped, but I felt like the shampoo took away the hemp seed benefit. So after I did a final rinse, added more hemp seed oil back into my hair and my hair was soft again. Some parts felt silky soft :)

But like before, the softness went away after my hair dried. I am determined to find a way to keep the silky softness!!! Next time I will DC with hemp after I shampoo and see how that turns out. I am liking the hemp oil's potential though.
