Glycerine, also known as glycerin or glycerol, is a clear, odorless, thick liquid that is found in many beauty products. This is a desiccant - that means the glycerine gets moisture from its surroundings. Using glycerine on dry hair will add moisture to the hair. You can do a glycerine hair conditioner, make a glycerine hair mask or even add glycerine to your conditioner.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Do hair conditioner glycerine

1. 

   Pour ½ cup of distilled water into a spray bottle. Look for a bottle with a mist sprayer. You need a mist spray to be able to gently spray the solution on your hair, rather than just wet a part of your hair. The first step is to pour ½ cup (120 ml) of distilled water into a spray bottle. Distilled water is better than tap water, as the minerals in tap water can dry out the hair.

2. 

   
   
   Pour ½ cup of rose water into the jar (if you like). Rose water has a pleasant fragrance that keeps hair fragrant throughout the day. Add ½ cup (120 ml) of rose water to a pre-distilled spray bottle, if you prefer. If you don't want to use rose water, you can add a few drops of your favorite essential oils, like lavender or orange, to add a fragrance to the hairspray.
   • You can buy rose water at cosmetic stores, supermarkets and online stores.

3. 

   
   
   Add 2 teaspoons of vegetable glycerine and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Choose vegetable glycerine, such as coconut oil or shea butter. Add 2 tablespoons (10 ml) of vegetable glycerine and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of olive oil to a spray bottle for the complete mixture.
   • Vegetable glycerine is available in pharmacies, cosmetic ingredient stores, and online stores.

4. 

   
   
   Shake the spray bottle and spray the mixture on wet hair. You need to shake the spray bottle well every time you use it so that the oil and glycerine will blend with the other ingredients. Next, spray the mixture on the hair that has just been washed. You should only spray enough to cover all of your hair, but don't over spray, or the hair will become sticky or difficult to style.
   • You should experiment with different mixes until you find the right amount for your hair.

5. 

   Comb and style as usual. In order for the glycerine mixture to stay evenly in your hair, you will use a wide tooth comb from the roots to the ends. The next thing is to style the hair the way you normally would.

6. 

   Spray in the middle of the day to "refresh" your hair, if you like. You can use a hair spray glycerine morning and day to revitalize your hair and keep your hair in order. Spray some of the mixture on your hair, then brush your hair for straight hair, or style curls with your fingers. advertisement

Method 2 of 4: Make a hair glycerine mask

1. 

   Stir 1 egg and 2 tablespoons castor oil in a small bowl. To make a moisturizing hair mask, you'll first smash an egg into a small bowl. The next step is to add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of castor oil to the bowl and stir well.
   • Castor oil is available in cosmetic stores and online stores.

2. 

   Add 1 teaspoon of glycerine and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. You will put 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of glycerine and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of apple cider vinegar in a bowl, then stir until the ingredients blend together and the mixture becomes smooth.
   • If you like, you can also add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of honey to the mask mixture.

3. 

   Apply the mask mixture to your hair and massage it in. Use your hands or a brush to apply a moisturizing hair mask to your hair. Make sure the hair is covered evenly from the roots to the ends. Also, gently massage the mixture into your hair.
   • You can repeat this hair treatment once or twice a week.

4. 

   Wrap your hair with a warm towel and leave the mask on your hair for about 40 minutes. Warm a towel by drying it in the sun or placing it in a clothes dryer and wrapping it in your hair. The heat helps the ingredients in the mask to penetrate the hair. The next thing is to incubate the hair with the mask for about 40 minutes.

5. 

   Shampoo. Use a mild shampoo that doesn't contain parabens or sulfates to avoid damaging your newly moisturized hair. The use of conditioner is not necessary as the mask works to condition the hair! advertisement

Method 3 of 4: Add glycerine to conditioner

1. 

   Pour 10 ml of glycerine into a 50 ml conditioner bottle. First you will open the cap of the conditioner and place a small funnel over the top of the bottle. Next, carefully pour 10 ml of glycerine into the funnel over the top of the conditioner bottle.
   • If the bottle of conditioner is larger or smaller than 50 ml, adjust the amount of glycerine accordingly.

2. 

   Shake the bottle of conditioner well. Now you should cap the conditioner bottle. Shake the conditioner well before use to make sure the conditioner and glycerine are mixed.

3. 

   Treat your hair as usual. Glycerine conditioner is used as regular conditioner. You only need to apply this conditioner to your hair after you have rinsed out the shampoo. The next thing is to wait a few minutes, then rinse your hair and style it the way you normally would. advertisement

Method 4 of 4: Use glycerine effectively

1. 

   Check moisture during the day. If the air in your area is too dry, glycerine cannot help your hair get moisture from the air, and on the contrary, it can release the moisture in your hair into the air. If there is a lot of humidity in the air, your hair will "expand" and too much moisture will cause hair to become frizzy. Therefore, if the humidity is much higher or lower than average, you should consume less glycerine than you normally would.

2. 

   Dilute glycerine with water before using on hair. Glycerine is a thick, thick syrup-like substance. If you apply pure glycerine to your hair, it will become very sticky.Therefore, always dilute glycerine with water or another hair-safe liquid, like conditioner, before using it on your hair.

3. 

   Choose glycerine with natural extracts. Glycerine can be obtained from plant products, such as coconut oil and shea butter, and from animal fats. Synthetic glycerine is also available on the market. However, synthetic glycerine has some health risks; therefore, you should not use synthetic glycerine until information about these risks is available. advertisement

Advice

• Glycerine can also soften the dry layer of the scalp and reduce dandruff.

Warning

• Do not use glycerine on hair that is dyed with a semi-permanent dye, as it can cause hair to fade quickly.
