thanks halee_J - i should take note, that siggy pic is lush!!!
Did my WGO pre-poo mix yesterday, also added some EVOO for strength but happy to see it also contains a small percentage of ceramides.
Added Soybean oil to my DC and will be sealing my leave-in with sunflower + coconut oil mixed as usual.

"Scientists have found that one of the functions of ceramides with regard to hair is as a "glue" of sorts - keeping the scales that form the hair's cuticle attached and in place. They also found that in damaged hair these important lipids had actually disappeared. Further, it has been proven that the addition of ceramides to the hair serves to fortify strands and prevent breakage. Ceramides actually bind to the hollowed or weakened areas of the hair strand and inhibit further moisture and protein loss."
"Some brands that have ceramide products are L'Oreal, Aubrey Organics, Optimum Care, Proclaim, Silicon Mix and Redken."
"If you are in the market for length retention it is highly recommended that you incorporate a ceramide product or oil into your regimen. Please note that although olive and coconut oils are not high in ceramides they both have been clinically proven to help stop protein loss in the cortex - so these particular oils have beneficial properties that are similar to ceramides."
