How do you know when your hair does not like glycerin?

When it just sits on top of your head and not give you moisture like it's intended. Glycerin, If I'm correct is for moisture. If your hair is not absorbing it, I'd say it's not for you. I could be wrong though.

Like with any product i's how your hair reacts to it. If it dries it out, then that probably means it isn't for you. Personally speaking, I have to be careful with the measurements I use or it will definitely dry my hair out. Otherwise it works just fine.

When your hair feels like greasy wet hay, glycerine is not for you (me).

I've always been curious about this.

I would just compare it to other moisturizers that you do like. That's how I determined glycerin wasn't doing much for my hair.

My hair absorbs glycerin well in the right climate/temps. But, if I mess around and don't check the weather and use glycerin in not so optimal conditions, it will just sit on top of my hair and make it sticky. So for me, glycerin usage is truly dependent on the weather. Most indicate glycerin is best used when the relative humidity is 70% or higher, while others go to indicate the dew point should be at least between 35-50 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm not a glycerin expert by no means but this is what I've learned through research, reading and glycerin (Scurl) trial and error. A website that checks for it's a good hair day for humectants (to take the guesswork out of it) is www.hairforecast.com.
