Nasdaq_Diva -- what oil did you replace WGO with in the leave-in?
I've never sealed with hemp...always DC with it though. Think I will seal with hemp tonight!

 

[Lita]

Last night I moisturize my hair coconut milk/applied poppy seed oil on the length/sealed the ends with rice bran ...





Happy Hair Growing!

I'm sitting here with my wgo/hemp mix on dry hair under a plastic cap. Going to get my hair pressed and a much needed trim later today.

@divachyk,

I didn't replace the WGO in the leave in mix. Usually I use castor + WGO in my kimmay mix. Last night, instead of castor, I used Jojoba +WGO. On it's own, jojoba doesn't do much of anything to my hair.

I have been using a dab of grapeseed all week - yesterday I did a prepoo with castor oil and grapeseed mix - hair is feeling stronger since the usage of ceremides the past month - I hope to see and end to splits and small hairs on my sink. Also hair is very moisturized.

DC'd with Hempz Color Preserve Conditioner (contains Hemp oil and extracts). I found it at TJ Maxx and I used it for the first time today. I like it! My hair feels very soft and moisturized. I sealed with hemp oil as well.

kaykaybobay you are right about ceramides making your hair stronger...I have very little hair fall now...And sense I added the rice bran/poppy seed its getting fuller...(Trying to figure out which one is making it feel/look fuller...lol

*I still use JBCO but it seemed like adding (rice bran/poppy seed) to the mix kick it up......

So after looking at Sareca's op in the oil rinses thread I realized she was oiling on wet hair. I didn't feel like getting in & out of the shower more than once today so I dampened my hair with a spray bottle, oiled my hair with grapeseed oil, put on a plastic cap for two hours, rinsed then cowashed with Mozeke's Avocado Cleansing cream. Results . My hair is soft and with very defined coils & curls.

Will be oiling my scalp in a bit with Claudie's Scalp Elixir.

So, I got my new oils the other day so now I'm using a mix of rice bran, hemp seed, grapeseed, safflower, and kukui nut oils. I added some JBCO, too, just cuz I love it. I'll use this mix as a prepoo.

Where are you getting your oils? I've been looking at Texas Natural Supply.

I got the Rice Bran, Grapeseed, and Hemp Seed from New Directions. The Safflower came in one of the BFH collections.

 

[LushLox]

I'm going to pre poo with Vatika Frosting mixed with Kukui and Safflower oil. I'll then DC with my Biolage Hydratherapie Cera Repair then add my L'Occitane mask.

Last night I oiled rinsed my bang using poppy seed/Komaza leave-in/sealed with jojoba,rice bran mix...Fluffy,soft,shinny bang....

@Lita I'm scared to oil rinse! Lol how was it?


Oh and I moisturized with a mix of safflower oil,glycerin,and conditioner of some kind i think it was a mix of just about everything in my hair pantry

 

[divachyk]

If hemp is to remain refrigerated, what impact does mail ordering have on the quality/freshness? I'm looking to place a vitacost order but know the oil will not keep cool in transit. Just curious.

The Hemp Oil does not need to be in the fridge until it has been opened. I purchased some Hemp Oil from Mountain Rose Herbs and it was fine in transit.

BTW your hair is beautiful.

 

[princesslocks]

I did an overnight pre poo with warm Hemp & Rice bran oil. Will be washing today.

 

[cinnespice]

I mixed hempseed oil into my trader joe's conditoner. I like so far. I think i might add some to my pre poo but i was wondering if that would be over load.

Essential Nutrients Oil ingredients-Ceramides,Olive oil,Coconut oil,Vit A,B & E...You apply it to the scalp 1-2x's a week/It comes in small tubes.....Optimum Care Ceramide treatment for dry scalp.....*Cons it has a strong perfume scent...

Sealed my hair with grapeseed oil last night. Sealed this morning with Komaza Moku Serum.

Komaza's Moku Oil has sunflower oil and kukui oil in it. I just purchased it yesterday. I will let you know how it works.

 

[Nasdaq_Diva]

Just did a co-wash with Hempz Color Preserve Conditioner! Very creamy left my hair so soft and full of shine. Gonna apply my usual leave ins (w/ WGO) and seal with Hemp Seed oil

 

[halee_J]

Been alternating sealing with rice bran and hemp oil

 

[baglady215]

After DCing, I used GVP version of Anti-Snap. Just as good as the original IMHO, so that's $15 that Redken won't be getting out of me haha. Sealed with grapeseed oil.
