I'm glad that you too are reveling in the deliciousness of hemp oil 
I don't know if you can get this brand anywhere else but i bought this in the UK (Sainsburys).
It's a whopping great big bottle of Hempseed Oil, 500ml for £4.49. It's Organic and Cold pressed. I purchased the Original.
The bottle also says it is good for hair and skin.
I put a small amount all over my braids and the shine is out of this world and my hair feels soft and non greasy.
I think i'm going to oil rinse with this.

Hi Tamz!
Yep, grape seed oil is high in linoleic acid/ceramides. I've been looking for multiple sources for confirmation myself. I've been using grape seed oil off and on for a few months, makes my hair glossy without feeling greasy. The percentages Curly Nikki quoted was published on wikipedia along with the ceramide contents of other oils. Grape seed oil is listed as the second highest in content at 73% (it is sourced). I found a second source at Anarka University, Dept. Of Agriculture in Turkey that indicated that the ceramide (oliec and linoliec acids are 50 and 70 percent, respectively). I saw a higher percentage listed at another website but, I don't remember which one. I've had very good results with grape seed oil and am assuming anywhere between 50 to 75% in content - which is pretty doggone good, IMHO. Hope this helps, HHJ.

Just made a 50:50 castor/hemp oil mix to do my oil rinses. Going to try it in the morning after I rinse out this henna.

I've read most of this thread! Awesome wealth of knowledge. Thanks for that. Any who I came out of lurkdom to say I LOVE SUNFLOWER OIL! It made my hair soft, shiny and somehow thickened it. I saw virgin sunflower oil at walmart and went straight to my lhcf app search button and it directed me to this thread. I stood in that aisle and read while my hubby waited patiently before I decided to buy. It was $3.89 for 32 oz. Cha Ching. I air dried and bunned but I'm going to try a roller set and use sunflower oil with my leave ins. HHG

Don't worry be happy
Ihempseed butter. I've used it 2-3 times. I am a little heavy handed so I need to slow down on it. I get a lot of shine and moisture with it.
I need to get.on.this. I love the oil so much, that butter must be bananas
I'm gonna do some more hunting locally or press my fav store to start stocking it, trying to avoid buying online. My shipping charges are carazay 
lol
but ceramides is still in my routine: wheat germ oil, grapeseed, kukui, sunflower and walnut oils.

Whisper "bleep boop" to yourself when you're sad.
Soooo I just bought wheat germ oil today.
Um, I don't even know what to say about it. I mean... wow. I'm not sensitive to smells but I damn near passed out when I opened the freakin' bottle.
Then it has the nerve to look like platypus pee on TOP of smelling like rotting flesh.
I'm bout to use this multiple times every single day, so I can hurry up and be rid of it.

i'm not in this challenge because ceramides were a part of routine long before this hairboard ( i never knew why i loved aubrey's so much and what was different if i stopped using it) but what i did want to ask is if sapote , tamanu, marula, or meadowfoam oil have ceramides. i'll continue lurking and admiring y'all reggies...carry on ladies!
