Why Is Glycerine Bad for Natural Hair?

Source: Google search 


Glycerin can have some negative effects on natural hair, including:


1. Humidity absorption: Glycerin can attract and retain moisture from the air, leading to frizz and puffiness in humid environments.


2. Weight and greasiness: Glycerin can weigh hair down, making it look greasy and flat.


3. Buildup and flaking: Glycerin can cause buildup on the hair and scalp, leading to flaking and irritation.


4. Dryness and brittleness: Overuse or improper use of glycerin can lead to dryness and brittleness, especially in hair that is already dry or damaged.


5. Incompatibility with some hair types: Glycerin may not be suitable for hair with low porosity or hair that is prone to product buildup.


However, it's important to note that glycerin can also have benefits for natural hair, such as:


1. Moisturizing properties: Glycerin can help lock in moisture and soothe dry hair.


2. Improving manageability: Glycerin can help detangle and add shine to hair.


To use glycerin effectively on natural hair, it's important to:


1. Use it in moderation

2. Mix it with other products

3. Avoid using it on high-porosity hair

4. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo

5. Follow up with a moisturizing conditioner


Everyone's hair is different, so it's important to patch test and monitor how your hair responds to glycerin. A patch test is simply apply glycerin to a small section of your hair and wait to see how it reacts. If it reacts in a favorable way, then you can use, else do not use.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
