I used the glycerin from CVS (don't think it's vegetable glyercin) but it was giving me that jheri curl, greasy, activator feel.
Me no like .

Pretty Basic...
About 1/2 tsp of jojoba oil and 1/2 tsp of Carol's Daughter oil (mostly olive) in about 1/2 bottle of water. (Shake well each use.)
(I'm afraid glycerin is too greasy and pulls in too much moisture here in the humid south.)

Ha ha! I thought that too. I was ready to answer "green tea."
But as for my HAIR water bottle... I do half water, half Giovianni Direct Leave-in. Shake well, spray, and fluff.

I know infusium 23 leave in is the same texture as water but i find that by itself sometime its too sticky. So i put a little bit in my spray bottle with water, maybe 25% leave in to 75% water?
- i just noticed someone said that already so i third it LoL

In my spray bottle I put just veggie glycerin and water. I have another spray bottle that I mixed some sweet almond oil with olive oil (only use this one occassionally).
I mainly use my bottle of vegetable glycerin and Distilled water. I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOVE it. It keeps my hair nicely moisturized pretty much all day!!! I am addicted to the combination!

Trying something out today
I love the way my hair is after going to the beach so I'm trying to recreate saltwater beach hair at home.
What I did was:
1. Soak my hair and finger combed with Suave Tangerine condish.
2. Rinse out.
3. On dripping wet hair applied shea butter to the length (not on the roots).
4. Sprayed some salt water (just plain old salt and tap water) all over my soaking wet hair.
5. Air dry.
It's nearly dry now, and it doesn't feel too dried out. I just haven't been able to look at it yet in the mirror. I hope it looks like what I'm trying to achieve.

i use a bunch of oils. i add about 6-7 drops of these oils, sweet orange, lemon, lavender for scents and rosemary, tea tree, patchouli and neem to help with dandruff, itching and to soften up hair. been using this mix for two days now and my hair is definitely soft. i use a full 8oz bottle so its extremely diluted.
