No skills for working with professional lamination compounds? No problem! We will tell you about such an affordable procedure as laminating hair with gelatin. Photos of the final result are just below.
What is the use of gelatin for hair beauty? The main thing is the content of natural collagen in it, which will cover each hair with a film, fill in the damaged areas. This is the secret to the volume of the hairstyle after gelatin lamination: the hair becomes thicker. Gelatin nourishes them, but you will get a 100% effect only after you laminate your hair several times at home. Reviews of most girls suggest that the effect is visible after the third gelatin coating. Hair as if “accumulate” shine.
Low price - this is what distinguishes hair lamination at home, reviews about which are mostly positive. A bag of gelatin, which is enough for one procedure, costs from 30 to 40 rubles. So, we will consider step by step the process of lamination:
1. Prepare a bag of gelatin, boiled water and your favorite hair balm.
2. 1 tablespoon of gelatin pour three tablespoons of lukewarm water. For thick or long hair, make a triple volume according to the same recipe (1: 3). Shuffle. Cover so that the gelatin mixture does not cool immediately.
3. Leave the gelatin to swell and wash your hair with shampoo, apply balm and rinse. Wipe your hair, but leave it slightly damp. All this should take you 15-20 minutes.
4. Check the bowl of gelatin. If it does not completely dissolve, slightly warm the mixture in a water bath. Stir until completely dissolved.
5. Add half a tablespoon of any balm or hair mask to the mixture. The general consistency of the resulting mixture should be like thick sour cream.
6. Apply the mixture to wet hair. Do not apply to scalp.
7. Put on your head a bag, film or a special hat to enhance the effect. Wrap a towel on top and direct a stream of hot air from a hairdryer onto it for 10 minutes. Then about 45-60 minutes you can do household chores.
8. Rinse the mixture with water. Thanks to the balm, gelatin does not stick to the hair and is easily washed off.
