Glycerin and Aloe Vera Juice/Gel

Hello to all of my lovely naturals,

Today I want to go over some of my favorite products!!! I use these is almost all of my home brewed elixirs. They not only moisturize but they also bring a shine to my hair. Now you will hear  a lot of people say that you should not use glycerin in the winter time, I say figure it out for yourself use what works on your hair no matter the season! So below you will find the definitions for these products and I hope that this helps you to make educated decisions when it comes to putting products in your hair.

Aloe Vera Juice/Gel: Helps with dry,damaged and frizzy hair. Acts as a natural conditioner and moisturizer. Also has the ability to grow hair in some people the gel/juice will activate an enzyme therefore promoting hair growth.


Glycerin:is a clear, sticky liquid that is naturally produced during the soap making process. As a humectant, it attracts moisture, so is nice to use in products designed to provide additional hydration to the skin or hair. Since glycerin attracts moisture from the environment it will attract moisture from the air and toward the hair. The effectiveness of glycerin in a dry climate is questionable since a dry environment contains no moisture to be pulled toward the skin.

Always,

Verano

My Miracle Elixir: Whipped Coconut Oil

Hello to all of my lovely naturals!

Alright I am not sure which site I got this from but it is the bomb! After I hennaed my hair (well talk about that later) I put it into twists and sealed it with my whipped coconut oil. I loved it because it is not as heavy as my whipped shea butter so I can use this whenever I need something more than my spritzer but less than my whipped shea butter and it adds just the right amount of sheen. Try it!


1/2 cup of virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon of aloe vera juice/gel

and whip it!
