I'm contemplating giving glycerin another try. I read an article over at The Natural Haven: http://thenaturalhaven.blogspot.com/ about glycerin and vegetable glycerin. The end of her article read: Can glycerin absorb water from your hair? There is no evidence of this when using glycerin mixed with water. In theory glycerin prefers to hang on to water therefore once mixed with water, it is in its most stable state."
Please notice that this last part said when using glycerin mixed with water. If you use glycerin alone or without water present then this may not apply. So, when mixed with water in a spritz, I should be good? I want to like glycerin again. My hair used to love it. Maybe it was not the glycerin that my hair hated but the other stuff that it was mixed with? Or maybe it was another product that I used that didn't jive with it? Maybe it's fallen out of its "I hate glyercin" phase?Who knows. I may be open to giving it another chance but we'll see.

With that sadid, my fave leave in (Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque) has veggie glycerin in it. Another leave in I like (Alba Botanica Leave In Conditioner) has veggie glyverin in it as well.
I think my hair likes glycerin...in small amounts.
