Sealed HairVeda Whipped Cream in with GSO. Hair is shiny, soft, and fluffy. Twists look shiny and juicy. I'd upload a pic, but website is acting up.

I have started putting box braids in my hair and I remembered DominicanBrazilian82 wanted some pics posted. I apologize it's not a very good one. When I start the back I will take a pic of it. I'm currently using Blue Magic with Wheat Germ.

I don't think I've updated in a while. Ive been keeping up though. Been using SD wheat germ conditioner, loreal eversleek smoothing conditioner (sunflower oil), and SSI avocado conditioner regularly. Hemp seed oil prepoos before almost every wash day. And im seeking out more DC's with ceramides.

sorry, not the best at pics, I never seem to capture the shine in a photo especially if its not straight. I continue to use ceramides daily; grapeseed, davocado, hot six (my fav) and walnut. Just hemp and wheat germ. I use the oils as a prepoo mixture with a couple drops of pepermint essential oil (came up with that trick when I realised my walnut oil was going a bit rancid and too cheap to throw out lol). I'll also use after a wash day and to seal ends.

Used HH Happy Hempy on my length last night. I am also seeping herbs in hempseed oil in order to make another sulfur mix.

Moisturized with SSI Brazil Nut Curly Buttercream <------ Hemp Seed Oil. First time use and I must say it smells and feels silky. Once I put it on my hair, it softened and filled in moisture holes! It also has Panthenol :lick: which my hair adores. I'm going to bed flexi'd up. Nitey Nite beauties.

My hair loves Wheat Germ and Rice Bran Oil. It doesn't know Hemp Seed Oil is about to be the highest bidder though….

I use it for its smoothing effect. Hempseed oil leaves my hair shiny and smoothes my strand like no other oil. This is why I prefer it when straightening or rollersetting (I'm rollersetting tonight). Other then that I used Dabur Vatika Oil or Njoi Creations ayurvedic hair oil. As for it penetrating the hair shaft, I have no idea. I just love it as a prepoo lol.

EnExitStageLeft, does Hempseed Oil penetrate the strand to prevent hygral fatigue? If not, why are you using it to pre-poo? I'm too lazy to investigate/research for my self! :look:

MileHighDiva EnExitStageLeft It seems that Polar Oils (Coconut, Jojoba, Avocado) are better pre-poo oils to limit Hygral Fatigue; over Fatty Acid oils (as we have come to know ceramide oils to be) which, in relation to Hygral Fatigue, are more suited for sealing to block out excess moisture (to avoid swelling and shrinking once hair is dry and styled).

PART III

We are halfway done with this year ladies and zooming into our third stretch of the challenge. I am so excited about the things I have gained from using ceramides. New Challengers are always welcome and we encourage you to post about what ceramide products you are using and even those that don't have ceramides that are used in conjunction with those that do!

There are PLENTY of Gorgeous :gorgeous: heads of hair in here and tons of Hair Porn Stars :look:. Join us as we :cowgirl: into the third part of the 2013 Ceramides Challenge.

Calling all CHALLENGERS! I need a favor, how about we up our ceramide sessions to one extra per week. Whether it be an extra M/S, steam, pre-poo, DC, etc. Lets finish out the summer and go into the fall with fabulous, luscious and healthy hair. Are ya'll with me? A special surprise for the Challenger that is all about ceramides in this third part.
