I used GSO to aid in a light flat iron almost two weeks ago and haven't washed my hair since. I know I need to soon. I usually do every 7 days. But it's just so SHINY and bouncy and light and smooth and... whew wonderful! Normally, I'm leery of heat, but.. I think my hair likes it? Or likes it with GSO. Then again, I only did 1 pass with 300 degrees, so maybe... the heat somehow locked in the GSO goodness or something? I'm not sure but it doesn't feel THIS good with GSO used in any of the other ways I use it.
I may have to try this out more often...

Last night I DC with GSO under DC. I also used Texture Me Naturals Amla and Avocado LI and sealed with TMN Macadamia styling butter and hemp seed oil mixed with GSO. I think both of TMN products have ceramide oils in them.. I'll check when I get home from work.

Hi DominicanBrazilian82. I would like to get in on this challenge once again. I recently BC on 10/27/13 and would like to get my strong and long hair on... I installed some yarn braids on 1/4/14 (pics in my profile) and will keep them until early May 2014. I am a DIY girl so touch-ups will happen when needed. My braids spray contains Wheatgerm oil and I use it daily. I also have some of my sulfur/ppo/other stuff mix in my braidspray bottle as well. I am waiting til the end of Jan for my first wash. Thank You Chica!!!

Just purchased loreal everstrong sulfate free fortify system overnight hair repair bio-ceramide complex from the Lot store. I paid $1.49/3.4 fl oz. I bought three of them. They will be my DEF "go to" when I come out of my braids and release the afro for the Spring/Summer 2014... I also purchased smooth and shine nourishing deep recovery conditionet eith olive and tea tree (looks like mud) as a post treatment upon my braid removal. That cost me $1.99/13.5 oz jar...TBContinued...

Re: **2014 Ceramides Challenge**
Ceramides SAVED MY HAIR today! I got the great idea to drench my hair in this spray leave in and bantu knot it in 4 sections so that the leave in would have time to penetrate and loosen my tangles...that totally backfired because the texture from the bantu knots created more tangles, and my hair got sticky and wet from all the product! I didn't want to wash & manipulate my hair again, so I massaged Africa's Best Herbal Oil (my ceramide oil blend of choice) on top and it completely melted my tangles! It did take awhile to get all the shed hairs out, but the oil made it so much easier, and my hair felt smooth and back to normal afterwards. The shine is out of this world too! If it weren't for ceramides, this could have resulted in an unfortunate setback...phew

Is Hemp oil the same as hempseed oil? I purchased hemp oil from whole foods in the refrigerated section. Wondering if I got the right thing.

Re: **2014 Ceramides Challenge**
I have been out of the loop lately but still using ceramides. My hair has been in twists and plaits on and off for the past few months. I have a spray bottle with care free curl gold activator and the instant moisturizer spray. I use that daily. I have another applicator bottle with my random oils in it ( rosemary, coconut, olive, castor, wheat germ, almond, etc). I use that almost daily. I try to moisturize my hair 2X a day. Currently my hair is in cornrows under a wig. I plan to wear wigs for the next year combined with using ceramides for maximum growth.
