A beautiful hairstyle is hard work. Healthy hair is daily care and a considerable investment of time and money. Beauty salons offer many services, after which the curls will shine and delight. But I want the hair to be like a lion's mane, and the wallet is full. There are proven methods that can be used for home care, and the effect will be like after a salon. The article will discuss a hair mask with gelatin and hair balm. Moreover, there are many recipes with these components in the title role. The result after their application is simply amazing. But in order to get exactly what is expected, you need to familiarize yourself with the effect of the ingredients on the skin and strands. All the most interesting will be described later.
Is it harmful to the hair?
Fans of salon care for their hair can be critical of experimenting with hair at home. But do not worry, this is a completely safe procedure. A mask with gelatin and hair balm (in addition to the main component, additional ingredients can be used) is very useful. After the first application, a decent result is visible, which is very pleasing to the eye. Even those women who doubted this recipe are sincerely surprised at the effectiveness of this simple remedy.
The properties of the gelatin mask are similar to the salon procedure for laminating hair. Only in this case the cost is much lower, but the effect is relatively short-lived. Spoil the curls with such a mask does not work. On the contrary, damaged strands will become stronger, more elastic and shiny. All this thanks to the enveloping property of the main component.
What is the use of gelatin in the care of hair
The extraordinary ability of this product lies in the ability to repair damage to hair at a structural level. Fans of home care for curls note that after applying a homemade hair mask with gelatin, hair balm and other auxiliary components, a significant improvement in their condition was noticed. Why is this product so good, and what effect does it have on strands? In order not to suffer from guesses, it is worth taking a look at the list of his merits:
- This substance contains a lot of collagen. And he, as you know, is a building material for skin and hair. He wraps every hair with the thinnest invisible film. As a result, the curls become strong, smooth and thicker.
- The product contains many useful elements. These are magnesium, phosphorus and calcium. They help improve the appearance and health of curls.
- Thanks to the protein which is a part of gelatin, the growth of hair is accelerated.
Using a hair mask with gelatin and hair balm, you can immediately eliminate many problems. Get rid of dandruff and split ends, heal dry strands, add volume to hair. Feed the curls with such a “delicacy”, they will shine with health in gratitude.
Precautions
Although this is a harmless component for hair care, it’s still worth knowing what to be careful of:
- Individual intolerance to the product is possible. Therefore, before starting work with him, you should conduct a test to determine the sensitivity to it.
- It is not recommended to smear the finished mask with gelatin on the skin of the head. This can lead to the formation of crusts on the head, resulting in itching and other unpleasant sensations.
- If there are wounds or scratches on the head, you should not use such a mask. This can lead to suppuration due to contamination.
- If the strands are too dry, then in its pure form it is not worth making a one-component mask. It must be supplemented with a moisturizing balm.
- Also, do not get too carried away with this tool (apply on an ongoing basis). Curls can protest. A lot does not mean good. In everything you need to comply with the measure.
Girls with curly and stiff strands should also not make a one-component hair mask with gelatin. Hair balm must be part of the mixture. Otherwise, you can only aggravate the problem - instead of beautiful curls, you get a dry washcloth.
What to consider before the procedure
It’s not at all difficult to carry out the procedure at home. In order for everything to go as it should, a number of rules must be observed:
- Proper preparation of gelatin mass.
- Mandatory cleaning (washing) of hair before the procedure with shampoo without silicone. Also, before the lamination procedure, masks and hair conditioners should not be used.
- Apply the finished mixture to wet (not wet!) Locks from top to bottom, departing from the roots 1 cm. Then comb with a comb and place curls under a plastic cap for 1 hour. You can use a hair dryer for "warming up" or a thermocap.
- Rinse off the mask with gelatin and balm should be slightly warm water.
Compliance with such simple rules will help to get the desired result. After finishing work, it is advisable that the hair is dried naturally. But if you can not do without a hair dryer, then you need to use the gentle mode.
Rules for making gelatin for a mask
It seems to be so simple. I took it and mixed myself a kind of mixture. Blur on hair, and wait for a wonderful effect. But everything is not as simple as it seems. The entire outcome of the “operation” depends on how correctly gelatin is prepared. It is important not just to dilute it with water, but to give time to "mature" and swell. Only then can it be heated and mixed with other components for the manufacture of the mask.
Standard recipe
The simplest and most “running” recipe for a hair mask with gelatin and hair balm looks like this. First you need to brew the jelly mixture correctly. For this, the usual powder version is taken and poured in triplicate with water (1: 3). For short hair, one large spoon is enough, for long hair you need from 3 to 6 tablespoons of gelatin.
Letting it infuse and swell (after about half an hour), you need to melt the mixture in a water bath. Armed with a wooden spoon or spatula, it must be constantly stirred and prevent boiling. Cooling the resulting solution slightly, it should be filtered so that there are no lumps. Only after that it will be possible to add 1-2 tablespoons of balm. How to prepare and use a gelatin hair mask is already clear. Next will be described recipes with additional components.
Strengthening and Shine
A variety of ingredients allows you to experiment and prepare effective hair care products. To nourish the curls with vitality, you need to supplement the standard recipe for a hair mask with gelatin and yolk balm. The beneficial properties of the product produced by the chicken will help restore strength and shine to curls. This tool helps moisturize dry hair. At the end of the work, the composition should be washed off the head with lukewarm water (so as not to be hot, otherwise it will scrambled eggs in the hair).
Salvation for “burnt” hair
Many were faced with a situation where they wanted to become a blonde, and hair was badly affected. Restoring them later is rather difficult, one might say, almost impossible. If only to laminate. To do this, you can use a hair mask with gelatin, water, balm and avocado. Also add chicken yolk if desired.
Fatty fruit oil has a great effect on curls. It is rich in useful substances that produce a “revitalizing” effect on overdried hair. To do this, beat the flesh of an average avocado in a blender with an egg. In the meantime, prepare a standard gelatin mask recipe. Mix all ingredients and apply to strands. Hold for about an hour. This is truly a magical recipe.
Super recovery
This is the absolute champion among homemade hair masks. After its application, the strands will revive again. It consists of the most popular and effective components, namely:
- gelatin;
- vegetable oil (olive or castor, to choose from);
- honey;
- egg.
These seemingly simple products can quickly restore strength and beauty to tormented curls. To prepare this mask, it is necessary to brew gelatin according to a preliminary recipe. Then mix it with two large spoons of honey and one small spoonful of oil. Add the egg to this mass and mix well, you can use a blender. If the hair is too dry, it is recommended to use only the yolk (with protein you can smear your face to narrow the pores). Apply to the strands according to the preliminary scheme and maintain the composition for 1 hour. Wash off with warm water, you can use shampoo.
Conclusion
It is possible to put your hair in order easily and quickly with a hair mask with gelatin and hair balm. This is an affordable, proven by many women tool for home care for curls. You can diversify the procedure by washing your hair with shampoo and adding gelatin (ready-made) with vitamin oil (Aevit).
