How do you use your glycerin in your hair? Do you add it to water or mix it with other products or.....?

 

[Aveena]

I add about 1 1/2 tablespoons to my cheapie conditioners.

I put about a teaspoon of glycerin in a tiny spray bottle with rosewater, a few drops of lavender essential oil, and about 1/2 teaspoon of jojoba oil. I sometimes lightly mist this onto my hair when I'm wearing a bun.

I mix it with water and my EOs in my spray bottle for spritzing.

same here; couple tablespoons to an 8 oz spray bottle along with a few other goodies.

glycerin, like castor oil is way to thick to use alone on my hair.

A couple of TBPS in a large spray bottle with a little infusium 23 and EOs

Can anyone tell me where I can purchase the glycerin? I want to start making my own hair spray. Thanks.

In a spray bottle with aloe very gelly, some grapefruit EO for scent and a few tablespoons of water. It looks like I use waaay more than most of you, but it works for me. I also throw some in my DC to thciken it up and add moisture. I never measure, just squeeze until I think it's enough. erplexed

I purchased mine from Wild Oats, but I believe most pharmacies sell it.

I purchased some from Walgreens this week. I also get it at Whole Foods and Indian stores. At Walgreens I found it in the section where they sell the lotions. It was at the bottom in a dark plastic bottle.

What's a fair price? I picked mine up from www.oilsbynature.com a 16oz bottle for $4.15.

Most ppl dont mean anything by it IMO. I have gave a white girl a strange look for being in the ethnic sectiom.

I love my glycerin! I got a big bottle from a local health food store.I Mix random amounts with a cheapie conditioner(suave humectant works really well) and water, then I shake up the bottle and use it (The bottle gives off a really fine mist so that helps with the distribution of the spray). Its the only moisturizing spray I use on my hair.

I use a sprayable glycerin called
G-99.5 i get it at the beauty supply store around my house for $2.99. I spray it on my wet hair after i apply my leave in conditioner for my wash n' go's.
this is what the g-99.5 looks like: http://www.texasbeautysupplies.com/g99385.html

Hi, I'm new to this(as you can see I've been lurking for quite a while). What does glycerin do?

 

[Brownie518]

I get a bottle of Rosewater/Glycerin spray from the health food store that I add Silk Amino Acids and Honeyquat to. It's great as a spray on wet hair. I also have a huge bottle of glycerin that I add to prepoos, deep conditioners and sometimes leave ins.
I have been getting mine online:

www.lotioncrafter.com
www.fromnaturewithlove.com
These two sites give LHCF a discount but there are many sources.

Glycerin is used to moisturize your hair.

I think that's good. I paid almost 2 dollars for a 4 oz bottle.
