  • How does Glycerin affect the hair during to colder months of Autumn and Winter? Many of us have heard and read that you should avoid Glycerin in the winter because it will dry out your hair. I decided to conduct research and an experiment to see it this was really the case. As Always, THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!!

    I am a science geek, and this video have me so much life! I paused and went and got snacks yesss, I loved this video can u do more scientific hair videos!?

    As the seasons change, so do our hair maintenance routines. Make sure your hair is well moisturized for the cooler seasons this month and be sure to make informed decisions on what you use. People say you shouldn't use Glycerin in the winter, but check out my experiment video below to see why I think it is safe to slap on the glycerin.

    I was so scared to try glycerin for so long. But my hair was always dry. I mean crunchy even with using natural oils and water. So I'm like I can't get no dryer so I'll just try out vegetable glycerin. OMG my hair has never in my life been so moisturized and healthy. I have virtually no breakage now, which is helping my hair to retain length. My hair grows just slightly over an inch a month now with good hair practices. I love the video now to subscribe :)

    I've used a vegetable glycerin and water mix year round on my 4c hair for the past four years and have never had a problem with it. It's the only thing that makes my hair super easy to detangle and keeps it soft & moisturized at a low price.

    This video is so helpful!! I had asked another UA-cam guru about my hair and all she said was less glycerin. I didn't understand it because I am new to my natural hair (I know that sounds like a contradiction). Now I fully understand why my hair had more frizz to it with the products I used. Thanks so much for taking the time out to make this informative video!!

    I love this video!! I'm a professor and very much pro-critical thinking and this video definitely promotes critical thinking. Naturals need to do a better job of critically evaluating all the information thrown at us! Also, as a professor, I do research and that was a pretty good job at conducting an experiment :-) Thank you for taking the time to make the vid hun!

    • @AfrikanHairGod
      @AfrikanHairGod  10 років тому +1

      Yay that means a lot coming from you and yes I definitely agree. I must admit I have been guilty of spreading the misinformation without first researching. Now as a resource for other naturals I try to be careful about the information that I put out so that I don't misinform anyone or state opinions under the guise of facts.

    This video was very informative and helpful! Your myth busting videos are great! I have been using glycerin and water spritz year round for years and haven't had any major issues with my hair drying out unless my ratio of glycerin is higher than the water. Other than that, it's performs well on my hair even during the harsh cold, Jersey weather. You never know until you experiment with it for yourself! =)

      @AfrikanHairGod  9 років тому +13

  • @annmariebusu9924
    @annmariebusu9924 10 років тому +14

    The water bonded to the glycerin is not static. Since its an aqueous environment the water and glycerin molecules move around. The reaction can be affected by environmental factors (eg. temp), harsh winter. As for pulling water from your hair. Maybe. You need some real Canadian winter for that test.

    • @umkishy997
      @umkishy997 10 років тому +8

      I agree. My first thought was "water can evaporate" so the water/glycerin balance is not definite. A dry climate will make the water in the glycerin mix evaporate quickly so that the glycerin will start attracting water from other sources (the dry air has none), like your hair. I noticed that my hair takes forever to dry in the summer if I am using glycerin and it seems that the water evaporates slowly. In winter, the glycerin causes my hair to dry quickly and any hair that is not exposed to air (hair in a bun) remains wet for days. I can still use glycerin in Northeast/Midwest winters if I use a humidifier in my house and wet my hair often.

    • @annmariebusu9924

    Excellent vid! I thought it was just me that thought it was ok to use glycerin all year round. I've noticed a difference in my shrinkage as well when I use it though, so I generally only use it when I'm doing a long-term protective style when my length doesn't really matter to me. Once again, really good job! I love this series!
