[DominicanBrazilian82]

@DominicanBrazilian82 I'd like to be added to the list and take part in this challenge, hopefully all 4 parts. I need to use up my grapeseed and safflower oils

Updated list:

Giovanni's Direct Leave In
Grapeseed & Safflower oil
Jason's Long & Strong Jojoba Shampoo

I'll also be looking for products which contain wheat germ and rice bran oil

ScorpioRising... Jason's Long & Strong... I'd buy it off title alone . What ceramides are in it?

 

[DominicanBrazilian82]

I'm in once again!

I'll be using hemp seed oil, Aubrey Organics conditioners, Hairitage Hydrations pomades and butters, Giovanni Cosmetics... basically everything I'm using has ceramides and my hair has never been better. Soft, shiny, strong, and healthy... what more could you ask for?

Girl ain't that the truth.

 

[ScorpioRising]

Anyone with LOW POROSITY successfuly using ceramides?

How do you incorporate it into your regimen?

I'm asking b/c most people with low porosity struggle with opening the cuticle enough to get moisture in since the cuticles are naturally tightly packed.

Thanks in Advance

Im low porosity and will be using my products with ceramides as normally used but I'll use the oils after my hair is already dry then scrunch the oil in. My hair hates it when I apply oils while its still wet.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

IN!

Hempseed and Wheatgerm oil are my current ceramide fav's.

I have various condish's, pomades, oils and Leave In's that contain ceramides.

I'll try to do better at updating too. I tend to not .

I'm like you. Oils and cremes on dry hair only! The only thing I put on wet hair is a leave-in or thermal spray for heat (direct and indirect).

[ScorpioRising]

@ScorpioRising... Jason's Long & Strong... I'd buy it off title alone . What ceramides are in it?

It only has Sunflower oil but its near the top of the list, so it wouldn't hurt to add it to my ceramides regimen

I saw that when I looked it up online. They actually sell those at the local health food store I go to for my oils and AO. How are you liking this brand?

 

[Lita]

I'm here...Just rubbed some rice bran thru my hair to seal..


Happy Hair Growing!

I've only used two shampoos so far, the Long & Strong and the 'Moisturizing' Aloe Vera. The Moisturizing Aloe Vera shampoo didn't cleanse my scalp and it dried out my hair but Long & Strong had the opposite effect, so I just stick with the latter.

 

[Froreal3]

DominicanBrazillian82 I'm in. I love the shine that grapeseed oil gives me. Plus I use AOGPB bi-weekly, alternating w/HSR. Will switch to using GPB weekly. My hair likes this stuff.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using LHCF

 

[DominicanBrazilian82]

Been wanting to try that rice bran oil for some time now. I always settle for a different oil or butter when I go to purchase it. Are you in love with it?

GSO will be my boo until stated later. I will be using it to seal....
I have other products that have ceramides included but too lazy to go look and see.

Is Safflower lighter than GSO? Does anyone know?

 

[JulietWhiskey]

I'm in.

I recently found a huge bottle of Wheat Germ Oil lurking in the back of my closet and have been adding it to my weekly DCs and mixing some into my grease (along with EVOO, jojoba oil, vitamin e oil and EVCO).

To me they are very similar. Never paid too much attention. I will check tonight. Safflower is extreme light though.

 

[venusfly]

@DominicanBrazilian82 I'm in!

I bought my hair some Safflower, Grape Seed, Hemp Seed and Wheat Germ Oil (already know my hair likes WG from using Salerm Mask years ago).

I also bought some Gleau Oil to try out.

Coconut Oil is my all time favorite-est best-est oil in the whole wide world but I want to see what these babies can do.
