Glycerin for hair

Glycerin is very often added to purchased hair products and not only for hair, it is also present in almost every face and body hand cream.

Attention! You need to be careful with glycerin, it can dry and dehydrate the hair, but this is only if there is not enough liquid in the composition, then the glycerin begins to draw moisture from the skin and hair, so all proportions of the mask must be observed.

First you need to brew chamomile (about a glass of water on the floor of a pack of chamomile), let it cool slightly. For now, wash my head as usual and wrap it in a towel and dry it so that water does not drain from them. Add glycerin to the chamomile, stir well and apply the mask on the scalp, and then on the length of the hair. We insulate with a film and a warm towel or woolen hat. The mask should be kept for 40-60 minutes, at this time it is better to lie down, because the mask is liquid and flows a little. The mask should be done once a week or once every two weeks.
