YAY GLYCERIN!!!

[luvn_life]

I know I'm kinda super late but, I have been having a problem with breakage. I mean like a serious problem. But it was because my hair had virtually no moisture. I tried everything and my hair would not hold any moisture. So, I was looking for stuff to try on here and I read the Aloe and Glycerin thread. I decided that it couldn't hurt to try it so I went to Henry's and only bought the glycerin. They didnt have natural Aloe(that I wanted to pay over $10 for, since I said I wasn't paying for anything else for my hairerplexed) so I didn't want to buy it. But I mixed 1 cup of water, 1/3 of Glycerin and 1/4 Coconut Oil in a spray bottle. I parted my hair, sprayed it on, then used ORS Olive Oil Cream, and still sealed with cocnut oil. I coludn't really tell anything last night. But this morning and even now, my hair feels soooooo moisturized. It has never felt like this. I am so excited. I will have to do cowashes every other day now to prevent buildup. But, I am SUPER HAPPY!!! So... YAY GLYCERIN!!!!

Thanks Ladies!!!

where do you get this from

 

[luvn_life]

I got mine from Henry's. But, I'm sure you can get it from any Whole foods store. I got 100% Vegetable Glycerin. You'll love it. It makes your hair soooo soft and moist without being greasy...

where do you get this from

I got mine from the local indian store. It was a lot cheaper than the regular grocery stores. I think I paid all of about $1.50

Walmart sells it in a nice sized bottle - not sure the the size at the moment - for $2.49.
i found mine in the first aid aisle.

Wow... I didn't no that WalMart sold Glycerin. I would've just gotten it from there. Is it Veggie Glycerin??

 

[feelfree]

100% vegetable glycerin, yup!

hobby stores like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Joanne's etc. sell it too in the cake decorating/soap making aisles, but way too expensive there.
