How I use my glycerin :)

If you were like me and bought glycerin and had aboslutely no idea what to do with it, this is for YOU!

Last night I was lazy and did not put a scarf on at all. Bad idea! Woke up this morning and my hair was a stiff, dry MESS! I had absolutely no idea how I was gonna get that mess in a bun before school, so I sprayed my already prepared glycerin mix and you couldn't even tell that I looked like some ratchet hoe when I got up this morning :)
**If you don't already know, glycerin is a humectant meaning that if draws in moisture from the air to your hair (Hehe, I made a rhyme #pow)! Perfect for the hot/warm weather, not so much cool/cold weather.**

Pros:
-Shine
-Ridonkulous softness! Especially for the NG and them kinky linkys :)
-Moisture
-Some slip when finger combing :)
-Very light on the hair

Cons:
-Oily on the hands

Recommended for EVERYONE when PROTECTIVE styling :)

What you'll need:
Glycerin
Your oil of choice (I use EVOO)
Water
Spray bottle

Mix your spray bottle with 1 part water, 1 part oil, and a couple of teaspoons of your oil. Shake it up. BAM! Ready to go. USE AS NEEDED :)

I personally spray this everyday root to tip!

***If you do NOT have vegetable glycerin, don't sweat it. I don't either. I use the one in the picture and it still works wonders. Purchased from Wal-Mart's pharmacy aisle with the Band Aids and junk.***

*The ORS Edge Control is in the picture bkuz when you're trying to hold your edges down, it helped me to spray my mix then apply my Edge Control
*This is replacing my normal M&S until winter!
