Im really liking WGO, I mean I really, really liking it! I mix it 50/50 with jbco and a few drops of rosemary oil.

:ohwell: Yes I knew and told a couple of DMV ladies who were looking for it. I'm like you not when I can get it for $1.
 
I had DC'ed with Silicon Mix at the beginning of this week - sorry, I am just now updating.
 
Hi. Please count me in.

~ What products/oils will you use? WGO. And eventually Biolage, Aubrey Organics and maybe Redkin.

~How often will you use it? Once or twice a week.

~What is your application method? I will pre-poo with 50% WGO, 25% CO and 25% EVOO. Then I will put a tablespoon of WGO to any conditioner to DC with after washing out the pre-poo. Currently looking for a leave-in containing ceramides that I can purchase without ordering online.

~Do I plan on DCing with ceramides? YES.


I went out and brought a big bottle of WGO from the health food store. Last week, I pre-pooed with 50%WGO, 25% Castor Oil and 25% EVOO. Afterwards, I washed with CON then DC'd with a conditioner (I am trying to use up a few I have here) and put a tablespoon of WGO and CO in it. Rollerset, blew out the roots a little. Talk about nice body!!! WOW!!!

Tonight I am doing the same thing. I will be keeping this up. I will say that I do want to get my hands on some Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle (already have the AOGPB) and Redkin conditioners that I am hearing so much about re Ceramides. I will probably get them next week.

***The only conditioners that has Ceramids in them are: Ultra Black Hair and (WGO as 15th ingredient and for the GPB ( WGO as the 5th ingredient) has it. The others don't. BUT regardless if they do or don't, I still add a tablespoon of WGO to them.

This a.m. I deep conditioned under the heat cap with damp hair and ORS Mayo. (it has ceramides). Following that, I used the leave-in conditioner (Skala G3). I did not lose half as much hair as usual.
Thank goodness because coming out of those braids (never again)),after only 3 weeks and matted hair, I thought I would lose all of my hair last week. I have to tell you it took about 4 hours to straighten out. Thanks to Skala shea butter leave-in it helped out quite a bit.
So I will be continuing my wheatgerm oil next week. I anticipate I'll have to some of my hair (probably a few inches), in the next waxing moon because of the trauma. :ohwell:
 
Question. For those who are pre-pooing with your oils, do you pre-poo then wash then DC? or do you pre-poo, DC then wash? I often wondered because I did see somewhere here that a lady washed THEN put the oils on then dc'd.
 
Reecie, I noticed that my name hasn't been added to the challenge list. Can you please add me in? TIA.

By the way, Renpure Organics conditioners have ceramides (sunflower seed oil) in them as well as Nature's Gate Hemp Nourishing Conditioner. These can also be added to the list.

I usually pre-poo with the wheatgerm oil. It depends on what my hair needs are at the time. As I mentioned above, I went through a recent trauma with my hair due to braids matting, so I did it differently.
I add the skala leave in conditioner to my hair. HTH

I always prepoo BEFORE i wash and DC my hair. The oil act as a slight barrier/protection against the harsh effects of the shampoo on my hair.

Yep, Pre poo, wash, then DC.
 
This week was my protein wash so I washed my hair with joico kpak poo and cond, DC with Silk elements luxury moisturizing cond and silicon mix. applied kids organics shea butter detangler,mizani coconut souffle( this has rice bran oil in it) and hot six oil.
 
32 oz wheat germ oil. i havnt used it, it is 100% there. i bought it for $20 plus shipping so i will sell it for $18 FREE SHIPPING
 
Ladies I'm wondering if Kemi Oyl (yes I'm goin old school) has ceramides in it? I know its a secret concoction of "essential oils" but it is keeping my hair nicely conditioned. That combined with Mizani Fulfyl I think is my ceramide regimen. I had to let Nexxus take a break, my hair said enuf (I think the Therappe is not moisturizing enough).
 
Well last night I mixed some WGO, JBCO and EVOO together and gave myself a hot oil treatment while I got on the treadmill. Washed it out with CON, mixed together some AOHSR with some EVOO and put it on my hair. Slept with it on overnight. This morning I rinsed it out. Leave-ins: Redken Anti-Snap leave in, Silicon leave in and Moroccan oil. Rollerset and now under the dryer.

***Red indicates products containing Ceramides.

I'd like to know this too... Kemi Oyl is one of my staple oils.
 
Just checking in...still using rice bran oil for hot oil rinses and detangling...i followed up with yes to cucumbers conditioner last night and my hair was sooo soft!
 
I DCed with AO GPB, Rose Mosqueta, and Island Naturals with Rice bran oil and Wheat germ oil today and OMG! The mixture came out like a light, whipped texture. The moisture was crazy. I think this will be my staple DC mix. I would love for others to try this to see if they get the same results. I didn't measure anything, just mixed.
 
May I join this challenge? I've been incorporating ceramides for about a month now, they have made a significant difference in the texture, moisture levels and natural shine. So now I want to be consistent with them by joining a challenge.

My ceramide products:

Oils:

Rice bran oil (:love: use this almost exclusively) - 2x a week pre poo, sealeant & added to DCs
Hempseed oil- yet to try, probably as a pre-poo

Conditioners: I will use one of these at least 1x weekly

AO Island naturals- Pre-poo/DC WhGo (3rd ingred.)
L'Oreal Nature therapy mega moisture nurturing creme (yet to try): sunflower oil (11th inrged.)
Taaliah Waajid Bodyfing Herbal Conditioner: WhGO (4th ingred) walnut oil (6th ingred)

Leave-in:
Taliah Waajid Protective mist bodyfier wheat germ (2nd ingred) hempseed (3rd)

Regimen:

I DC at least 2x weekly with a oil pre-poo if DCing on wet hair, or I mix oil in the DC if Dcing on dry hair. I use the TW leave-in daily.
 
Can I join, please? I've just started using Elvive Anti-Breakage Conditioner and it's been great, so I'm think I'll include ceramides more into my regimen.

Products:

Elvive Anti-Breakage Conditioner
Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner (just bought, haven't used yet).

Regimen:

Cowashing once or twice a week with either of the above conditioners.
 
I've been using Redken Anti-Snap for about a month, and my hair loves this stuff. I'm waiting on Ulta or Beauty Brands to have a sale so I can stock up. I didn't realize it had ceramides.
 
Washed this weekend and used Joico K-pak Reconstructor then followed up with Salerm deep conditioner. Set my hair with the Sedal ceramides leave-in and a tad bit of Marrakesh oil which has hemp oil in it.

Left my bottle of anti-snap at my sisters...not happy about that

Checking in. I'm still pre-pooing at least 1x per week with either Hempseed oil or my WGO/EVOO mix.

Plus I will often use my hempseen butter to seal my hair.

I think it's having a positive effect on my hair and I will continue to do it
