Home cosmetics have recently becomeis incredibly popular. More and more often, women share recipes not for their signature dishes, but for effective masks, rinses, and wraps. Among home beauty recipes, gelatin-based hair masks are very common. A gelatin mask will make your hair voluminous, lush, and incredibly shiny. In addition, a gelatin hair mask is a budget analogue of the expensive salon procedure "lamination".

Useful properties of gelatin

Gelatin is a protein product made fromfrom the connective tissue of animals (cows and calves). It has a lot of useful properties that have a beneficial effect on the condition of hair, nails and skin. How is gelatin useful for hair?

Vitamin E. The vitamin of beauty and youth, which is part of gelatin, strengthens the structure of the hair and strengthens its growth. In addition, vitamin E has intensively moisturizing properties.

Collagen. It is the basis of gelatin. It makes the hair elastic and less brittle.

Protein.The hair structure contains a keratin layer consisting of proteins. Under the influence of aggressive factors (drying with a hair dryer, styling with a flat iron, etc.), the horny scales of the hair begin to bristle - the keratin layer begins to lose proteins. Gelatin restores the hair structure and fills the cortex or keratin layer with its proteins. The result is healthy hair and ends.

Hair protection. Gelatin envelops every hair with an invisible film, making it shiny, and protects from the harmful effects of the environment.

Versatility. Suitable for any type of hair.

Subtlety and nuance

To avoid having to wash the mask out of your hair for a long time, you need to prepare the gelatin correctly. In addition, when applying and using masks with gelatin, you need to remember some nuances:

Gelatin must be dissolved in water, decoction or juice in proportions of approximately 1: 3.

Gelatine for the mask should completely dissolve and be a homogeneous mass without lumps.

"Dissolve" gelatin is best in a water bath. Just make sure that gelatin does not boil. In this case, it will lose its properties.

Calculate the amount of gelatin for a mask based on the length and thickness of your hair. If you take 1 tablespoon gelatin, then the other ingredients should also be added on a tablespoon.

If you are using gelatin for the first time - perform an allergy test (at the elbow bend or behind the ear). Unfortunately, allergy to gelatin is quite a frequent phenomenon.

Use gelatin masks as often as you want.

The minimum course of masks is 4-5. Only after so many masks the result will be noticeable.

You need to wash the gelatin mask off your hair with special care, using shampoo. Otherwise, the gelatin can stick your hair together.
