Pokahontas and Love Always,
Sorry to intrude but there's a misconception about the amount of ceramides within an oil. Safflower does have ceramides but that percentage (78%) represents linoleic acid, not ceramides.

Don't worry be happy
Love Always and Pokahontas, that list actually refers to linoleic acid percentages not ceramides see here. We discussed that a little while back upthread. However, lilikoi posted an article which suggests that oils high in linoleic acid may also be high in ceramides 
I haven't yet seen anything on percentages of ceramides in oils.
ETA: Thanks for the link Aireen

I recently tweaked my weekly reggie and I'm on week 3 of this and I'm loving it!
step 1. shampoo with organix tea tree & mint (i don't like it but gotta use it up) mixed 50/50 with HE or V05 conditioner
step 2. conditioner mixed with 1 large egg and wheat germ oil and cover for 15 min
step 3. deep condition (ORS pak or Cholesteral)w/ wheat germ oil for 10 min and rinse with cool water.
step 4. moisturize with HE LTR spritz with infusium leave in and I seal my ends first w/ wheat germ oil then entire length with my whipped shea/avocado/mango butter which i mixed with amla/wheat germ/grapeseed oils all equal parts except a lil more wheat germ of course. yeah my hair stinks a lil but I wear half wigs alot so its all good. Plus my fine hair has gotten thicker with the use of wheat germ oil
. Now most of my reggie is all about wheat germ oil.

Update: the henna with the hemp oil wasMy hair felt very smooth, immediately after rinsing out, smoother than henna alone or with EVOO.
Hey miss halee... what else do you put in your henna mix? Do you mind sharing your recipe?

baglady215 sure! My mix mix is really simple:
200g henna
enough hot water to make a brownie batter paste
~2tbs oil
I let it sit covered for a 2-4 hrs before applying it to my head

Im in. Maybe this will be the motivation I need to get back on my journey, I have been slipping 
What ceramide oils/products will you be using?
I will be using Safflower/Sunflower Oil and/or Grapeseed oil and Silicon Mix conditioner
How will you be using them? (pre-poo, shampoo, DC, leave-in, sealing etc)
all of the aforementioned.
How often will you be using them? I will most likey be using them every other day.

Did a henna gloss over the weekend and I mixed grapeseed oil and Walnut oil in my mixture and I must say this is the 1st time my hair was ever this soft using the henna gloss. It rinsed out so look and my hair never look that good b4. When I used the Indigo that was another story..

empressri - I hope you are feeling better!!
I have also been sick since last week, with a sinus infection, sick as a dog, and SO kept saying 'Dang, you're hair is shiny and smooth!' I also had fallen on ice and hurt my back bad so the only thing I was doing was applying my ceramide mix and tying it up.
I didn't even think about it til I saw your post. Lita - I paid attention this time and I definitely noticed a shorter drying time under the dryer. I love that.
