So I oil rinsed with rice bran and... wheat germ oil :sad:

It immediately made my hair soft and easy to detangle, but the stoopid WGO wouldn't freakin' rinse out! :pullhair:

Now my hair is mega oily and has a faint, sickening WGO scent.
It won't go away. :sad:

You're doing way too much! Put the bottles of oil down now! :lol:
You might have to clarify and start again.

tiffers I think the problem may be the WhGO. That stuff is pretty heavy and sticky. Its like castor oil, but stickier. Not the best for oil rinses, but you've figured that out already. IA with january noir a good clarify should set you straight. Also beware of ODing with ceramide oils, there is such a thing; I went all crazy with rice bran and hemp oil once, doing back to back o/n pre-poos and adding generous amts to my DCs. My hair got super hard and inelastic.

Eek....i forgot to do my Hempseed oil rinse last night. I was focused on doing an acv rinse after my dc but that helped with the tangles. I can't wait to do both. The results should be good.

Bublin, come back and let us know how it goes, I have porous hair too. I currently use Roux PC condish, but I'm very interested in this "dunking" in ACV thing. I've been lurking in that thread you started lol
 
tiffers - I had a problem with WGO and it thickening like a cream, I understand your pain. Good thing I was using as a pre-poo so it washed out. Didn't have to clarify. I think it's just the nature of this oil to turn creamy with a liquid. Had the same thing happen when I mixed in an app bottle w/ avj. It just thickened, and got creamy, and would not budge from the bottle.

I heavily dilute WGO with lighter oils, or mix with DC to avoid this now.
 
January_noir :lol: Yeah, I think a good shampooing is in my future!

halee_J *gasp* Ceramide overload? Say it ain't so! :(

I had no idea WGO would be so damn sticky, this oil is sooo strange! :lol: :nono:

Golden75 Wheat germ oil is tripping me out with all of its weirdness. :rofl:
 
Dc'd with Silk Dreams Shea What, which has WGO...

Cleansed with Silk Dreams Whip My Hair, which also has WGO...

Cowashed with a mix of AOHSR (WGO) & Silk Dreams Destination Hydration (rice bran) & Claudie's Garden Oil (lots of ceramides)...

Moisturized with Claudie's Quinoa Hair Cream (lots of ceramides) and sealed with Claudie's Grandma Louise Pomade (lots of ceramides)...

Massaged Claudie's Elixer into my scalp (lots of ceramides)...

My hair is like this ----------> Weeeeeee! :reddancer:
 
Using Enso's Sweet Agave Nectar & Flaxseed Daily Protective Mist (hemp seed oil) for the first time tonight. Will seal with hemp seed oil.
 
Without shampooing, I did my second DC using hemp seed oil and Kenra MC, and this time followed up with a spritz of water/glycerin for moisture leave-in and sealed with Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner (all as usual) but this time mixed it with some hemp seed oil to help seal and give my hair another ceramide boost. Twisted my hair in small twists as a style.


It has been an entire day (12 hours) and my hair still feels moist, albeit a bit greasy. It also has more of a shine than usual, maybe partly due to the greasy oil? But the most important thing is that my hair (twists) are so squishy soft, which is notably different from how my twists normally feel after my routine. I really think hemp seed oil is a staple for me :grin:. But more time is needed before I get too happy.

@halee_J
This morning i did a Hempseed Oil rinse, deep conditioned with Cholesterol and 'dunked' my hair and scalp into very diulted acv and massaged my scalp.......yeah baby, this combo is a keeper. My hair and scalp were very clean but soft and detangled the easiest yet. The acv water was cloudy which means i got rid of the residue that would normally itch my scalp.
Easy detangling for me means that my hair was properly moisturised and my cuticles were closed and smooth.
 
So...I'm officially a daily ceramide user. Thanks for your feedback to my question about straightened hair. I went out today and got grapeseed oil! I saw the big bottle of WGO, but kept it moving.:lachen: I also saw the cold-pressed hempseed oil, but went for grapeseed because that was a specific recommendation. I'm going to start using it daily. I have 2 bottles; 1 bottle from Vitamin Shoppe (4 oz, $5) and one from GNC (16 oz, $10). After I bought these two, I saw an even bigger bottle in TJ Maxx (33.8 oz, $10!!!). I left it there because I was trying not to be a pj and I don't even know if I like it. So thick, moist hair...here I come!
 
Cowashed with a mix of AOHSR, Claudie's Avocado, WGO & Garden Oil...

Massaged Elixer into my scalp...

Meh, not much, but today was a busy day. :drunk:

january noir - very sorry to hear this. Did it spill and mess up the floor or carpet?

divachyk. I had it on the bottom shelf in the kitchen cabinet, and while putting away some food prep equipment, I knocked it out onto the floor. It hit the ceramic tiles and the bottom of the bottle broke spilling all the contents out. The only thing I could do was wipe it all up - none could be salvaged because of the slivers of glass.

I do have another bottle that requires refrigeration, but I use it for food preparation exclusively. Thank God it didn't fall onto and ruin a rug or my carpet!
 
Does anyone know how long wheat germ oil lasts before expiring?

It's not refrigerated. :look:
 
january_noir :sad: I poured out some wheat germ oil in memory of your hemp...
