Glycerin for hair. Clarification with glycerin



Among us there are few diploma chemists, but thanks to the modern beauty industry, many women have learned to understand the composition of detergent or caring means. Take, for example, glycerin - it is added as in soap or shampoos, and in a dishwashing detergent. All - because of its moisturizing properties: after contact with this substance, our skin remains gentle and hydrated, even if washing took place in the hardest water.

But besides the skin, he "knows how" to take care also of our hair, eliminating their fragility and dryness.

If you regularly use shampoos or masks containing this colorless substance (similar to water, only thicker and more viscous), you will not recognize your hair. They will become elastic, obedient, soft and very pleasant to the touch. In addition, if the hair is cut off, eventually you will forget about this problem. And even the most irritated and problematic scalp does not face an allergy to glycerin.

Does he have side effects?

No matter how useful and safe it is, before you start using glycerine for hair actively, you should learn about its negative properties. Yes, this means "knows how" to accumulate moisture, so that it can begin to pull it out of your skin and hair. That is, if used incorrectly, you do not moisturize, but on the contrary - dry the strands! And if in masks glycerin is used almost "buckets", it can brighten your hair - it is true, it is uneven, so you do not really need to count on this method of coloring.

What can I do to prevent drying? Do not use glycerin in its pure form - only as part of masks. And if you decide to take a course of glycerin care, do not repeat the procedure more than once every 7 days.
