Why gelatin?

Before you start making miracle remedies, you need to understand what is so good about gelatin for hair and why it has gained such wide popularity as an analog of an expensive procedure?

Gelatin is a product of animal origin. At the heart of it (at least 80%) is a well-known protein - collagen, which is part of hair, skin and nails, the loss of which threatens hair with brittle, dull color and slow growth. In addition, the gelatin contains phosphorus, sulfur and calcium, also positively affecting the beauty and health of the curls.

Gelatin mask manufacturing and application procedure

Lamination with gelatin in the home, except for the composition, there are practically no differences from salon. To gelatin dissolved in water, you should add a mask (for dry hair) or balm (for normal hair) and carefully mix the resulting mass to the consistency of sour cream. When the gelatin mask is ready, the hair must be washed in the usual way, preferably using an air conditioner. Then apply pre-prepared gelatin for hair, drying them with a little towel. The maximum effect from the resulting mask is achieved when it is heated. To achieve a high temperature and the "effect of steam" can be, creating on the head a structure of polyethylene film and towels. For lovers hotter - warm your hair with a hairdryer over the towel for no more than 10-15 minutes. After 40-45 minutes, the mask should be washed off, for which the hair is enough to rinse with cool water. Wet hair is allowed to dry naturally. The result will surpass all expectations: flawlessly smooth and shiny, hair to the hair, curls changed their appearance.

Why pay more?

So, judging by the procedure for applying the product and the effect obtained, it can be safely said that homemade lamination of hair with gelatin does not differ from an expensive salon analogue. Use gelatin for hair is not only cheap, affordable and effective, it is also incredibly eco-friendly. The composition of salon means for lamination for the uninitiated is often a mystery, while gelatin is absolutely transparent in terms of ingredients. In addition, the monthly maintenance of the lamination effect in the cabin will fly into a pretty penny, while the use of gelatin for the hair on the pocket does not hit.
