How to Strengthen Hair with a Gelatin Hair Mask
If you want to strengthen your hair and reduce breakage, a gelatin hair mask can help. Made from the same ingredient used in jello, gelatin is effective at adding shine, volume, and body to dull, lifeless hair. Keep reading to learn how to make and use a simple, inexpensive gelatin hair mask at home.
Preparing the Mask
- Bring 1/4 cup of water to a boil. An electric kettle works well for this.
- Add 1 packet of unflavored gelatin to the hot water.
- Stir the mixture together until the gelatin is completely dissolved and there are no lumps.
- Allow the mixture to cool before applying.
Using the Mask
- Begin with slightly damp, clean hair.
- Apply a generous amount of the gelatin mixture to your hair from root to tip. Covering your hands with plastic gloves is recommended to keep your skin clean.
- Massage the hair mask into each strand and leave in the hair for 15-30 minutes.
- Rinse the hair with cool water, followed by a regular shampoo and conditioner routine.
Using a gelatin hair mask regularly will strengthen hair, reduce breakage, and impart shine. For an extra boost, you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of other conditioners such as coconut oil, honey, or aloe vera to the gelatin mixture before applying.
