Glycerin

Glycerin is a colorless, thick liquid which absorbs water from the air and comes from a animal or vegetable fats. Because it attracts moisture to the hair and skin it is found in most hair and skin care products. Why is glycerin so important? It helps feed our curls the moisture it so deserves. Glycerin helps reduce frizz and provides flexibility to the curls.
Use glycerin in shampoos to add moisture to them, you can also use it in a spray bottle with water as the other component.
I recently bought Africare 100% Glycerin. I used it before I washed my hair, in conjunction with lavender water in a spray bottle, my hair was really soft, it still is. You don't need to throw away the products that didn't work for you (as long as they don't have petroleum/mineral oil in them) you can add a bit of glycerin and see if it works for you then. Try it!

Uninformed people

Today, some friends and I were talking about one of their baby daughter's (hair) beautiful curls. She has good hair they said and I really took offense to that and the mother said her daughter doesn't have nappy hair and how she has somewhat nappy hair.
This really pissed me off. I don't understand people and their misconceptions or why they don't delve deep into what's real. As long as hair is healthy it will be beautiful, you don't need to label hair as good or bad. Just like you can't call someone evil, you can only call their actions or words hurtful or evil not her/him. I guess we are conditioned to give things and people one word feelings/emotions but that helps no one better themselves. And it's hard to go from saying "oh, you're clumsy" to saying "you're acting clumsy", because we are for the most part not taught to speak like that.
I think when we better the way we talk to ourselves and to others then we can change who we are and what we are. Learning to let go of the every day words we say to ourselves and to others can help us realize that we don't have to stay the same, that change is possible even though at times it's scary. I'm scared of change sometimes, but it's a normal process, every day the weather is different and so should we be.
