So ladies... It's been two months since the challenge began... And we are almost done with Part 1... What benefits can you attest to thus far?

Me... Definitely increased softness and manageability. I also notice softer new growth; which is like heaven for me as I am transitioning from relaxed to texlaxed.

Im still doing twice daily scalp massages with my beloved Baby Bee oil. I know I have new-growth because the silver is peeking through and I can feel the wrinkle. I'm 5.7 weeks post on my 4b-c hair. I was a ceramide user even before I knew what they were...I love the Humectress spray leave-in, I've used it for a couple of years. Recently added L'Oreal's ceramide repair condish. My new-growth is super soft and manageable, with little to no breakage and none at demarcation. Loving the journey...
 
My Retention has been pretty good. I think its a combination of heavy ceramide usage and babying my ends (buttering them daily, bunning, etc.).

My hair has also been stupid smooth. I finally made Grapeseed oil my staple sealant and my hair is definitely benefiting from it. My hair is accepting moisturizers much better then it use to. They seem to actually penetrate my hair shaft rather the coat it and give that dreaded "greasy" appearance.

I've also been testing a shampoo with Carboxylic Acid/Ceramides following my Elasta QP poo's (which both contains Linoliec acid, so it may contain ceramides as well) so my hair accepts the protein/moisture content of my DC's a lot better now as well.

So overall, I say that I have benefited quite nicely from consistent ceramide usage. My hair is much smoother, is more accepting of both moisture and protein and my retention has been on point. I will no longer slack on ceramides and from now on they will be a regular in my regimen (and by regular I mean using them daily :yep::lol:).

I have been using Wheat germ oil and DCing with Aubrey organic conditioners.since 5th of January been m&s every single day. There has been less breakage and my hair retains moisture better and feels less rough. I haven't seen much retention but lets see on final length check day.
I will continue using ceramides till the end of the year, since i can see if it really has good effect on hair rentention.
May switch to hemp seed oil after my WGO finishes
 
I co washed my hair with V05 free me freesia conditioner. I then applied my Kimmay leave in and put my hair in twists. Afterwards I put DOO GRO Mega Thick leave in GRO Strengthener to the bottom half of my hair.

The benefits I have noticed so far is my hair being softer and easier to detangle.
 
[USER][/USER]DominicanBrazilian82 I am 9 months post relaxer and I have received great benefits with ceramides. After my last two wash days, my hair has been super soft and shiny:yep:. My roots are very manageable as well:grin:. Thank you for this challenge, I will definitely join each part.
 
I have been MIA for a while but I am coming back.
I will get braids this month and I will add extra ceramides into the spray that I will use.
 
CJ repair me for 1 hour, curly kinks leave in conditioner

I've noticed increase softness, moisture retention, and a natural sheen to my hair since being consistent with using ceramides weekly. Definitely going to continue for the full year
 
Washed and DC-ed my hair, used my Nexxus leave-ins and finished with my beloved Burt's Bees Baby Bee Oil. My 6-week post hair does not look like 6-weeks post hair. I have new-growth but it doesn't feel like "new growth".

Did a prepoo with SSI Banana Brûlée with Sunflower Oil on top for about 1.5 hours. Will light poo with SD Go Moist Shampoo, in-shower rinse with Joico K-Pak Reconstructor and DC w/heat with Curly Kinks Curlycue Renew (I think...)
 
Did a cowash with blensblend conditioner (grapeseed oil). Also been sealing with curly kinks polished oil
 
I havent checked in in awhile but I'm still using my Miss Key 10 en 1 and my silicone Mix. I will be adding Sedal SOS Ceramidas Hair Cream to my stash. So I will be CO-washing with that tonight.
 
I'm almost 7 weeks post and my new growth is fantastic! Still doing my twice a day scalp massages with Baby Bee. Still loving my Nexxus leave-ins.
