I ask because the hair that was untreated may or may not have also been damaged. If it was damaged, untreated, and still had those results, my question would be invalid. But I am unsure... Untreated hair can break and be damaged just as bad as relaxed or color treated hairMelissa Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12683372935688045015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-4412260335447550072013-07-07T03:55:16.496+01:002013-07-07T03:55:16.496+01:00how often should it be used to benefit the hair how often should it be used to benefit the hair Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-25382684556933220232013-02-28T06:11:36.033+00:002013-02-28T06:11:36.033+00:00Great post.

Ceramides will work for you regardless of where they are placed on the list of ingredients. The reason they are placed so low is because they can build up quickly. It's better to apply ceramics little by little instead of having them overpower a product. Ceramide build up could impede moisture from getting into the hair shaft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-62083829540749601012012-03-15T16:22:54.590+00:002012-03-15T16:22:54.590+00:00Loreal's ceramide is listed as "2-Oleamid...Loreal's ceramide is listed as "2-Oleamido-1,3-Octadecanediol" on their ingredients lists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-62404524366643835852012-01-11T17:07:17.246+00:002012-01-11T17:07:17.246+00:00Hi JC,
Please respond to this question.
In post...Hi JC,<br /><br />Please respond to this question. <br /><br />In posts about ceramides all over the net, people will give a list of products / natural oils that contain ceramides, but these lists are not verifiable. I don't know how these lists are created, or if people are just cutting and pasting lists they see elsewhere. The key question is: What CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS / INGREDIENT NAMES should one look for to verify that a product contains ceramides?<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-51245341136831646942011-06-23T13:18:55.280+01:002011-06-23T13:18:55.280+01:00hair salon london - i really hate aggressive comme...hair salon london - i really hate aggressive commentary. Are you serious that I need to do some homework?<br /><br />In all seriousness this is a scientific blog, which cites scientific research. Washing hair actually removed a large amount of the ceramide - anywhere between 47-80% depending on the state of the hair (natural or relaxed).<br /><br />Clearly if hair is damaged and you want to retain the ceramide then you need to not wash it off (i.e use it in a leave in).<br /><br />Please do not visit my blog or comment on it if you cannot be polite.Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-52003287109845100862011-06-23T12:12:19.567+01:002011-06-23T12:12:19.567+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.hair salon londonhttp://www.pierpointhairdressing.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-39805466879359491282011-01-15T01:12:33.990+00:002011-01-15T01:12:33.990+00:00When it comes to products with ceramides in them, ...When it comes to products with ceramides in them, does it matter how far down the ingredients list it is?<br />Also, you said ceramides are best in leave-in products, does that mean that they wash off completely in rinse out products?Lynorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067149955061816602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-89953171178939168642011-01-02T15:11:19.354+00:002011-01-02T15:11:19.354+00:00I've been trying to find the cermaide content ...I've been trying to find the cermaide content in oils and which oils are the highest in ceramides.

The L'oreal study used 0.1% and was clearly more than sufficient. <br /><br />The concentrated product from L'Oreal claims to be 10 times more concentrated than what you would find in hair (which is not much anyway lol).

The exception for me would be cuticle sealer, shampoo, and clairfyer/chelating products. I use Bronner brother braid spray (wheat germ herb, eucalyptus oil), Redken Extreme Anti-Snap leave-in (synthetic; 2-Oleamido-1,3-octadecanediol), and Matrix Biolage Ultra-Hydrating Balm (wheat germ oil).<br /><br />The Redken Leave-in is the one that works quickly. It's a light protein leave-in. I also pre-poo with rice bran oil. It's also a ceramide. But after hearing that synthetic is more concentrated, I'm going ahead and purchase synthetic ceramides.<br /><br />Thanks JC!Addynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-14225794200222229472010-08-18T18:53:24.287+01:002010-08-18T18:53:24.287+01:00Nix the last part of my comment about octadecanedi...Nix the last part of my comment about octadecanediol.

I rarely see products with a significant amount if any at all. For example, the Skala G3 Conditioners that relaxed women talk about. As far as I can tell the most beneficial ingredient in those is centrimonium chloride. I don't see anything that says "ceramide" or "wheat germ" in the ingredients. I've also read people say that octadecanediol is a ceramide...but, I know that is false.
