Are you still using your water, aloe vera, glycerin mix

[TexturedTresses]

now that its cold out and there isn't as much humidity? I have still been using it. However, I've seen some threads that sugget that its not good to use in the winter. Sidenote: I've started using it on my skin too after the shower and that stuff is the best "lotion" I've ever used. I put coconut oil on it afterwards.

any responses?

Hmmm I mixed this up and was using it on my hair , but for some reason didn't continue. My ratios might have been off because in the beginning I loved it, but after a while it made my hair and hands kind of sticky. I Mixed up a 2nd batch substituting Honeyquat for the glycerin. I don't think I was wild about that concoction either.

im still using it...but in a different way. Now im just sprayin it directly on my ends, then seal. Ill do this right before a baggy, or when i wrap my hair

How come you don't use it on the rest of your hair?

Im still using it and plan to continue on using it throughout the winter.

Bumping .. I would like to know as well if it's good to continue to use in the winter. I thought I read somewhere that if there isn't any moisture in the air, it takes moisture out of your hair.

I'm still using it; my NG has never been so soft!

how much humidity (%) is needed for the humectant not to take moisture from your hair/skin?

SR, my mixture contains aloe vera, glycerin, and AG fast food co and I am still using my occasionally. I have not decided if I will continue to use it throughout the winter though. This week, I am actually testing it out b/c the weather here is somewhat cool. Hopefully, it will work well for me doing the colder months b/c my hair seemed to love it during the warmer months.

I still using ...but with the aloe vera.

Still using it as it's still in the 80s in good ole Cali

I use it when I DC. When I get a hair steamer I know it will really be the BIZ!

I'm gonna start a "butt length hair by Dec. '09" thread

I use it all year round. Never had any problems with it...I always seal with oil though, so perhaps that's why it's not drying out my hair. I would think that if it takes moisture from your hair, that moisture would then evaporate, but if you seal then the moisture can't go anywhere...

i'll only use it on my hair shaft if im doing a braidout. but i hardly do braidouts in the winter...so that's why i only put it on my ends.

I do! I use that stuff to spritz my twists...not enough to soak them, but enough to plump them up a bit.

I stopped using the aloe vera jel in my mix and went to aloe vera juice. My hair didn't do good with either ofthem. I tryed glycerin in the mixes also, and I really didn't care for it. I switched to honeyquat, I like this so much better.

I don't use my spritzs as much as before, since its getting cold here. I will use them when I re twist my hair at night, usually every other night or so.

I like to twist on damp hair so I spritz each section at a time. Then I add Anita Grant Cafe Latte to each section to seal, then twist.

I make sure to get my ends very good. I have went to once a week washes and no wash and gos. So, this is working out alot better for me. My hair is staying very very moisturised.
