Checkin in
I steamed my hair on saturday with hempseed oil ... I am still in braids so it s kind of difficult to tell how my hair responded to it... Oh well.
I moisturized with the Ion detangler and sealed with HSO again, I baggied overnight for 2 consecutive nights so far

 

[TeeSGee]

Planning on doing a pre-poo with Hemp seed oil for 1 hr b4 cleansing with my cleansing conditioner and then DC Treatment

 

[miss cosmic]

loving my new routine: pre-poo with chicoro's moisture-drenched pre-poo (contains wheatgerm oil), apply conditioner, detangle, rinse, oil rinse with grapeseed oil, apply leave-in and plait to dry.
as long as i am consistent with moisturizing between washes my hair stays soft. i now use the LOC method to moisturize.

 

[Aggie]

Sprayed my hair this morning with Taliah Waajid's PMB. My hair feels so soft right now, I can't seem to stop touching it.

Ok y'all, I'm shaking things up, I need to restart going hard in the ceramides paint, I'm making a whipped shea butter mix that will have hemp and wheatgerm oils, restarting prepoos with rice bran oil. I'm revisiting CON green (they still make it in Jamaica) which has wheatgrem oil in it...

 

[divachyk]

I did a HOT with Enso serum which has rice bran oil

 

[halee_J]

Shea butter ceramide oil mix is a hit

 

[Aggie]

Misted my hair this morning with Taliah Waajid PMB. This really leaves my hair soft (old formula)

 

[LimitedEdition]

I just repurchased Hot 6 oil. Im still going strong. I got a hair cut a month ago because I really needed one. Im VERY happy with my hairs health. Ill keep working on the length.

 

[KappaChino]

Purchased the 7 oil and have been using it twice daily to seal. I forgot how much I loved this oil and can't figure out why I stopped using it. I can already see a difference in the number of hairs that no longer fall in the sink. Still debating on whether I want to get the silicon mix leave in or try another product/oil from the list.

 

[solide]

Anyone know of a good hemp seed oil product?
