IS VEGETABLE GLYCERIN GOOD FOR NATURAL HAIR?
Why Vegetable Glycerin?
Vegetable glycerin is a humectant which is an ingredient which helps your hair to attract and retain moisture. Because natural hair is generally dry, it definitely helps to maintain moisture in the hair. When glycerin and water are mixed together, they attach to each other and do not separate. While during the winter, use of humectants will help your hair to retain the proper moisture balance, over the summer, moisture levels in the air are much higher. So if you use humectants in your hair, it may take up too much moisture (and your twist out could turn into a afro puff!). Karen suggests to minimize the use of glycerin during the warmer months.

I have learnt that just because something never worked last Christmas, it doesn't mean you shouldn't try it again now. That was my relationship with glycerine. It worked in my 20s. But I wasn't consistent and I O think a lot of products contained it anyway. Then in my 30/40s it didn't work at all. Now at 55 I am a serial DIYer. And one of my concoctions uses glycerin to mix with the xanthan gum. So one day I had an accident and used WAY too much glycerin. And my hair looked and felt awesome. So I have added a significant amount more glycerin to my regimen. What I do to test my regimen is a shampoo, no conditioner and air dry. If my hair is soft and has a bit of a shine, is easy to detangle, then I am doing the right thing. (Tangles were never much of an issue for me aynyeay. ) And I AM doing the right thing . My hair was soft, my curl was as good as it gets and an amazing shine even without prepooing or conditioning. I dampened my hair afterward and conditioned purely because I believe in conditioning. My didn't look and feel as if I needed to though. So its glycerin for me for the foreseeable future, not just for my hair but for skin as well. Thanks so much for you awesomely content.

Would you recommend using glycerin on locs?, you mentioned that you do not use it as much now that you are loc'd.

@serious7179 3 жыл бұрын

It's a hair softener, so I would imagine that putting it on locs could possibly cause it to be frizzy or even start to unravel the locs

@KarenofCurlHouse 3 жыл бұрын

It depends on what type of locs and the maturity of your locks. New locs - no. For mature locs, very low concentrations -- similar to comment below -- too much may cause frizzing.
