Gelatin - what are the benefits?
First, you need to figure out what gelatin is.This is nothing more than natural protein. It is also split collagen. Everyone knows that the collagen that our body produces and protein are similar in many ways. Protein contains amino acids and microelements that create the basis of nails, hair, and skin. It is under the long-term influence of the external environment that gelatin contributes to:
- restoration of hair structure;
- natural volume;
- strengthening and activating growth.
In a word, gelatin protects hair from externalenvironment by forming a natural film. And this is the same as a salon procedure! Gelatin lamination can be done on both straight and curly hair. Both the former and the latter will eventually become soft and manageable. Since lamination can be done at home, many prejudices have appeared about the benefits of gelatin. Let's talk about the main ones.
- From the gelatin, hair falls out.
Yes, this can really happen, butthe reason is not the negative impact on the scalp, but just the opposite. Gelatin, as a source of protein, nourishes the hair thanks to its beneficial components. They also push out all the dead cells. Thus, with gelatin hair lamination, you speed up the process of cleansing the scalp from dead cells.
- Gelatin must be boiled.
No way! When you make a mask that contains gelatin, you need to dilute it only with warm water. Otherwise, you will only spoil the products.

For the mask you will need:
- 1 tbsp. spoon gelatin,
- 3 tbsp. spoons of warm water,
- ½ st. spoons of balm for hair.
The amount of ingredients depends on the length andthe thickness of your hair. This calculation is made for shoulder-length hair. Gelatin should be poured with warm water and mixed thoroughly. Leave it for half an hour and stir periodically until completely dissolved. As a result, you should get a homogeneous mass. After that, heat it in a water bath. To easily wash off the mask, add a little balm. Otherwise, the hair after the mask will seem greasy. Apply the resulting mixture to your hair and put on a plastic cap. Keep them in this state for about 15-20 minutes. For an enhanced effect, you can warm them up a little with a hair dryer. After that, wash your hair thoroughly. This lamination method is useful for those who have little time. If you are not in a hurry, then this mask can be used in another way.
