I have a question. I usually do a pre-poo with conditioner under a heat cap. Since I'm joining the challenge I want to use Hempseed/Wheat Germ oil mix as my pre-poo. Can I still sit under a heat cap with these oils?
We had this same debate last year. Most of us decided not to use heat, especially with hempseed because its such a delicate oil; its nutrients break down when exposed to direct light, air and average room temperature. Hence good brands are sold in dark, airtight bottles and kept refrigerated.
YoursTruly & HJ, I recently steamed my DC mixed with hemp and loved it. My steamer goes up to 620W and I steamed for 1hr. I do keep it refrigerated. Prior to steaming with hemp, I've never used it with heat because of the ongoing heat debate. In another thread, one poster indicated the deterioration point for hemp is at 300degrees. My DC mixture included other oils other than hemp so even if it did diminish in nutrients, the other oils picked up the slack, apparently.
...so now I'm in full-court press mode as far as taking care of my hair....
Full court press takes me back to my basketball days.
I don't really like the Lustrasilk Shea Cholesterol because it leaves my hair feeling coated (and a little dry), so I decided to add my Hot Six Oil to it......no change
. I'll continue using until it runs out, but I'll probably go back to AOs for my DCs.

Wow! The same thing happen to me using Lusterasilk Shea Cholesterol..My hair was very coated,dry & tangle
..I WILL NEVER BUY THAT AGAIN ! I had to rewash my hair when I used it
.
Happy Hair Growing!
BrooklynQueen & Lita, lustrasilk works great for me whether I use heat/no heat. I mix 4T lustrasilk, 1 ORS replenishing pack and 1T each of hemp, avocado, evoo, Roux PC, aphogee 2min
I've been moisturizing morning and night with Silken Child and sealing with Grapeseed or Safflower Oil. I can't wait to use up this Silken Child though cause I've used DD ORS Moisturizer and I love it!
I purchased way too much silken child when I located it while out of town, now I have to find a way to use it up. I'm afraid to use it daily because of the -cone content.
I also have a Custom Ceramide Mix a Poster sent me so I'll be using that too for sealing.
You may have shared this already but what's your custom mix?
