1 1

The Hydrating Ally for Natural Hair

Colorless, odorless, gentle, and natural, vegetable glycerin is a highly valued ingredient in hair care, especially for dry, curly, frizzy, or kinky hair. Generally derived from vegetable oils (such as soybean or coconut), it is moisturizing, softening, and protective .


The Benefits of Vegetable Glycerin for Hair

1. It intensely hydrates

Vegetable glycerin is a natural humectant : it attracts moisture from the air and binds it to the hair fiber. The result? Soft, supple, and well-hydrated hair .

2. It reduces frizz

By hydrating the hair cuticle, it smooths the fiber and helps reduce frizz , especially in humid weather.

3. It softens and defines the loops

Curly, frizzy or kinky hair loves glycerin: it defines curls , makes them bouncy and shiny , without a greasy effect.

4. It protects the hair

It forms a natural barrier against dehydration , while protecting the hair from external aggressions (wind, cold, heat…).


How to properly use Vegetable Glycerin?

1. Homemade moisturizing spray

  • 1/3 vegetable glycerin
  • 2/3 mineral water or herbal infusion (rosemary, hibiscus, lavender…)
  • A few drops of essential oil or vegetable oil (optional)
    Spray onto damp or dry hair, 1 to 2 times a day.

2. Add it to your masks or treatments

Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of glycerin to your homemade hair masks, conditioners or leave-in for a hydration boost .

3. In a glycerin oil bath

  • Mix a vegetable oil (castor, coconut, olive) with a small amount of glycerin.
  • Apply to the lengths of the hair, leave on for 30 minutes under a shower cap or warm towel, then wash.


Precautions for use

  • Always dilute glycerin with water or another liquid. Undiluted, it can dry out hair if the air is dry.
  • Avoid in very dry climates (lack of humidity in the air), as it could absorb water from the hair and dry it out.
  • Do not exceed 10% of the total mixture to avoid a greasy or sticky effect.


The little natural extra touch for soft and supple hair

Vegetable glycerin is simple, economical, and ultra-effective . By carefully incorporating it into your hair care routine, you give your hair a true hydration boost, gently and without chemicals.
