sorry ladies its been a while since i checked in but my lco method is still going strong. i have been using komaza sprays for the liquid portion califa and coconut in paticular while still incorporating claudies creams and my oil mix.
 
I have to get back on my ceramide grind...sign me up for round 2
Oils of choice: Hemp,Grapeseed & Sunflower.
 
I am still using ceramides for my hair. I have been sticking to my usual products that I have posted before. The only thing new I have added is Worlds of Curls Activator gel. I didn't use it for curls just for smoothing my hair when I put it into a bun and for my edges. My hair wasn't hard or flaky. It had a soft hold during the day. My hair didn't frizz up giving my the halo look lol. I am gonna put in some box braids without extensions in the AM for my protective style. I plan to keep it in for 2 to 3 weeks and wash about 2 times a week or once a week depending on my schedule. I will post a pic this session to keep me focused and to see how my hair is changing.

Ive been using Phyto Phytokeratine Serum (artificial ceramides) and have notice to significant difference in the health of my ends. They are a lot more resilient and shiny. I've also notice that cermides make my hair extremely smooth, well ceramides with an emollient on top (usually castor oil). LOVIN' THIS CERAMIDE LIFE :grin:.

Loving this ceramide life ----> this!
 
Did a hemp seed oil prepoo. Along with the usual curly kinks leave in and polished oil
 
Today was wash day and the products I used that has ceramides are Silicon Mix Shampoo and Hot Six Oil.
 
Adding GSO to my regi. I will still massage daily with my beloved Baby Bee but I want to start adding GSO to my DC and relaxer.
 
Been using my SSI defrizzer all week as well as some others with ceramides...
 
I think I want to buy hemp seed oil. My hair loves HH hemp nostalgia and I'm crious to see how my hair will react to it by itself. Yep, off to vitacost...
 
Used WGO in my dc today. Gonna use rice bran oil all week to seal and see how my hair likes it. Dominicanbrazilian the macabassu hair milk has purified water, aloe vera juice, safflower oil, castor oil, mango butter, kokum butter, hydrolyzed wheat protein just to name a few.

Yummy! I'm doing a little haul this weekend. Will definitely add this to my list. :-)

Hyacinthe What exactly are you finding in your research that makes Napa Valley "better"? I'm curious (and any one who uses it please chime in).
 
Co-washed with SSI Avocado (can't get enough of this Condish) and SSI Coco Creme LI before I roller set. Will take down each roller with a little hemp seed oil. HHG ladies...
 
I have added methi (fenugreek powder) into my rotation as well...Where has this stuff been all my hair life LOL! Still going hard with my Mega Tek (infused with Wheat Germ Oil and other goodies). I use my mega tek every single day. :drunk: Back to cowashing daily cuz the weather is crazy warm in NYC
 
Sealed with sunflower oil.

sent from IPad using LHCF app. POW!
 
I finally got around to putting in my box braids w/o extensions. I used Hawaiian Silky and Taliah Waajid Protective Mist Bodifier(wheat germ extract, aloe vera leaf, olive oil, silk amino acid) to dampen my hair. On each section I put on Perfect Results Curl & Twist Definer and Worlds of Curls activator on the ends.

The first day I sprayed my hair and scalp with Infusium 23 leave in. Yesterday I made rosemary water and oil to use on my hair. I am loving the smell and my scalp feels good after using it.

Napa Valley manufactures gourmet cooking oils. The tend to have the highest concentration and potency, i.e better penetration and shaft coating capabilities. Plus you can find it easily at you local TJ Maxx's or Marshalls...so that doesn't hurt :look:...:lol:.

My Lil' Update:
As for me ladies, I will continue to seal with GSO for well...ever. The stuff is green crack chock full of silky goodness :lick:.

Also since its about to be as hot as the devils armpit this summer I'm going to put a hold on the excessive castor oil usage :cry3:. My hair loves the stuff, but to risk being a hot greasy mess I'm just going to stick to my lighter ceramide rich oil blends like Gleau, SSI Defrizzer, DB Cocoa Bean Hair and Body Oil and Etc. I ordered the Kahve Oil from Claudies a few days ago and will be adding that into rotation when I receive it also.
Anywho, thats about it ladies. I hope you guys are doing well :hug2:
 
Ladies!!! I went back to Loreal Sulfate Free Shampoo and baby (Grandma voice) lemme tell you my hair is like... Yes!!! I'm using the Reconstruct Shampoo (Green tube, purple cap) and my hair reminds me of circa 2010 when I had my BKT. I used this line exclusively to wash and condition (didn't do too much DC'ing then), but my hair grew from NL to right above APL in about a years time. I plan to keep this in my Reggie for a while.

I also DC'ed with NuNaat Chocolate Hair Mask (you need to grab this!) and put Curly Kinks Satin Roots on before my magnetic set. My hair feels so good and has so much movement.

FYI... The Loreal Sulfate Free line is a ceramide-rich line. It contains synthetic ceramides (Bio-Ceramide Complex) and my hair loves it!
 
Yesterday - Co-cleansed with Loreal Evercreme Cleansing Conditioner and rinsed with Loreal Eversleek Reparative Smoothing Conditioner and sealed with Hot Six Oil.
 
I've been using Kinky Curly perfectly polished, SSI Defrizzer, HV moist pro, KBN shealoe condish, SSI avocado condish and a few DC's with ceramides. I think these help contribute to my hair drying smoother and healthier overall. Its still early in my journey. I'm picking up some hemp seed oil soon tho :yep:
 
Did my second hemp seed oil prepoo. Really nice. Makes my hair softer than EVCO. I'll probably mix the two from now on
I'm going to try Oyin honey hemp as my leave in today
 
Sealed w/GSO mixed with a little EVOo.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using LHCF
 
Added a bit of my ceramide oil mix to my prepoo (Motions CPR).

Been sealing with Nourish oil.
