One of the most popular salon treatments is hair lamination. This is such a procedure, the implementation of which allows you to give the hair shine, strength, volume. In addition, it protects the hair from the negative effects of the environment.
But, despite such a huge number of advantages, it has one significant minus - high cost. But today there is a cheap analog of this procedure - gelatin lamination.
This method is available to everyone, because it has a very low cost, and the results are no worse than after spending expensive in an elite beauty salon. Gelatin lamination got its name due to the main component, from which the mixture is prepared for the procedure. The process itself is quite simple, but takes at least an hour. If at hand there is regular food gelatin, water and hair conditioner, then you can easily, quickly and inexpensively carry out hair lamination at home. The technology is as follows:
- it is necessary to soak a tablespoon of gelatin in three tablespoons of water and leave for 25 minutes;
- after the specified time, this mixture should be heated until the gelatin is completely dissolved. This can be done in the microwave or in a steam bath. Be sure to make sure that the mixture does not boil.
- then a couple of spoons of the usual hair conditioner is added to the mixture and thoroughly mixed;
- the resulting solution is applied to the hair evenly along the entire length. From above it is necessary to wrap hair with a film and wrap it with a warm towel. Leave the mixture for one hour;
- after the specified time, the mixture is washed off with clean cool water.
But, despite the apparent simplicity of this procedure, gelatin lamination has certain features and rules. All the rules must be observed without fail, only in this case the result will really turn out amazing.
Before laminating, the hair must be thoroughly washed. If they are too damaged, first use an air conditioner and only then apply the mixture.
The mixture is applied to the hair warm. It should be remembered that the roots do not cover it and begin to apply the resulting solution 1 cm from them.
The procedure time is not more than one and a half hours. To enhance the effect throughout the procedure, it is necessary to warm the hair through towels with a hairdryer.
Rinse your head with cool water without using shampoo.
It is recommended to carry out gelatin lamination at home no more than once every ten days.
Once a month, you can enrich the mixture with a teaspoon of honey or egg yolk. But adding any oils and brandy is not recommended, because they destroy gelatin.
Lamination of hair at home with gelatin allows you to get beautiful, shiny hair without huge costs. In addition, due to the large number of nutrients contained in the gelatin itself - namely, protein and iodine - the hair receives additional nutrition, which directly affects their appearance.
