Hey ladies I will join actually been doing this for about 1 month now using hempseed oil, wheat germ oil and sunflower oil in my Pre-poo with conditioners.
I went to Harris Teeter this morning to get my daily Bananas for day.. and went to the oil section and saw Walnut Oil.. It was $7.99 but the sign said clearance so I was ready to pay $7.99 for the oil its 16oz big jar when I walked out I looked at my ticket and it said it took $4.00 off.. Can you say I will be back in there this afternoon after work and get about 2 more bottles.. It's Spectrum Walnut Oil if you have a Harris Teeter in your area check it out.. I need to check to see if its an expiration date on it too..

UPDATE: I'll officially start to use ceramides in my next wash. I'm buying safflower or sunflower oil this weekend to add to conditioners without ceramides or ceramide rich oils in the ingredients. I've decided to stretch my hair a little longer than 4 months since that's in 6 days, so hopefully the ceramides will help out with that. My hair needs moisture at the moment so from now until the time I relax it's MOISTURE, MOISTURE, MOISTURE, along with the oils to help my hair as I postpone my relaxer touch-up.
My plans for my next wash are to add safflower or sunflower oil to my moisturizing conditioner if I do not use Aubrey Organics White Camellia. Also, I want to add it to my pre-poo treatment. The treatment is only for my edges, nape, and ends (sometimes) and consists of conditioner, unsulfured molasses, and EVOO. When I add one of the oils I'm buying this weekend, I'll be using less EVOO.
For updates, there will definitely be post-relaxer pictures and possibly progress pictures of my hair and edges/nape/ends. Not sure about a precise setup for progress updates as of yet so they might be random for now. I'm thinking of taking before and after pictures of my edges since I'm trying to care for them with my homemade treatment but I'm not sure whether to update this thread with that or just do that in a separate thread. We'll see. :scratchch

Both sunflower and safflower oils are ceramide-rich oils, so you're good with either one

Sealed with grapeseed oil. I really like it, it's so light and it made my hair very smooth. It almost acts like a serum without the cones. Definitely a keeper!

Yeah I heard a lot of people like to use it as a heat protectant for the same reason. When I start using heat again I might buy it, thanks for posting, it reminded me!

Did a deep condition with AOHSR (and hemp oil) before shampoo, skipped it afterwards to ditch the slip and get these twists done faster.
Finally finished (drumroll please),
and sealed with wheat germ,sunflower blend. (I was planning to use each separately alternating wash days, but I'm tired so bump that for now)

As a general rule, the less processed the better; refined = processed. So yes, unrefined is better

Yeah, my hair doesn't feel greasy AT ALL! I think this will be my new staple for sealing.

The emu is awesome..last night I wet my ends a little/applied some emu on the very tip to seal..Talk about soft,silky smooth ends
..A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!
Happy Hair Growing!

Good to know! I just ordered some last night. I'm still using my mix of Hempseed, Kukui, and Wheat germ and that makes my hair silky, too. The grapeseed should be a nice addition. 
I oiled my hair up for the day before washing with the mix, and I added Safflower Oil when I dc'd. Then I used a little Redken Anti Snap with my BFH leave in.

Sounds like a good mix, where can the wheat germ and hempseed oil come from?

I used my ceramide HOT yesterday in my henna and then added it to my hair after applying DC. I definitely like this mix. Will use it to seal my braids with as well.

Just did my weekly DC w/ AO HSR. I just realized that my Ors Hair Mayo & BRX spray has wheat germ oil in them.
