[Golden75]

Need to step up my ceramide usage and back in the game. Used Claudie's Tiffani Pomade yesterday, and was wonderful. Just applied an oil blend containing wheat germ oil, and it felt amazing going on!

Prepooing at the moment using WGO/Safflower oil mixture. I will be back hard now cause I will be out of my weave for a while.....

 

[AJellyCake]

I've been using sunflower oil instead of grapeseed oil for the past week. My hair is softer with sunflower oil (I think it's sealing the moisture in better). I'm going to keep using it!

 

[Lanea87]

I just sealed my hair with WGO/Safflower....GN ladies, see you in the a.m.!

 

[Golden75]

Sealed with Nourish Oil last night

 

[melissa-bee]

I realised for the longest that I don't have to seal as much with shea butter like I used to. Must be the ceramides.

 

[wannabelong]

I sealed with Sunflower oil and I like it.

 

[lamaria211]

Joining in...It's been a looooong time since I joined a challenge. I've already been using ceramides, but want to do so more intentionally and maybe try some of the oils.

What ceramide oils/products will you be using?
Current stash:
Skala Ceramide G3 line (shampoo, mask, leave-in)
AO GPB conditioner
AO Rosa Mosqueta conditioner
Frederic Fekkai Protein Rx PM Repair Strengthener
L'Oreal Everstrong Overnight Repair Treatment

How will you be using them? (pre-poo, shampoo, DC, leave-in, sealing etc)
All of the above--I've got a product in every category that has ceramides. Any of the conditioners can be used as pre-poo or DC, so it will vary. Fekkai PM treatment is an overnight pre-poo, and the L'Oreal overnight treatment is actually my moisturizer. I'd like to try out a ceramide-rich oil for sealing my moisturizer. I'm not sure which one yet.

How often will you be using them?
Weekly for wash day products, daily for moisturizing/sealing.

Happy Hair Growing!

Is Safflower Oil light like grape seed oil or heavy like castor oil?
