Women chasing beautiful hair They waste a lot of time, effort and money. The beauty of the hair depends on the state of the body, nutrition and external influences. However, even observing all possible rules and caring for hair from all sides, you can suddenly notice that they have become less smooth and lively, have lost their shine and strength.

Dry and lifeless curls love food. Most masks with a nourishing base have a similar effect: they envelop the strands, soaking into open scales and closing them.

Despite similar mechanisms of action, rare care gives a lasting effect. But there is one procedure that can smooth the hair structure, nourish it and make it shiny for a long time.

This is lamination. The salon procedure is quite expensive, so inventive beauties have come up with a home alternative that will cost much less. We are talking about masks based on gelatin.

Gelatin is an animal product that is made by denaturing collagen from animal bones. In fact, it is hydrolyzed collagen.

In combination with water, it forms a jelly that becomes liquid when heated and solidifies at low positive temperatures. By increasing the concentration of gelatin, it is possible to make jelly at sufficiently high temperatures.

How useful is a gelatin hair mask? Due to its composition and properties, gelatin is used for cosmetic purposes. Hair is protein in nature and is also made up of collagen.

Its deficiency leads to the fact that the curls become brittle, dry, lose their elasticity and shine. Masks with gelatin, which are kept on the hair for a long time, saturate their structure with collagen, seal the scales, making the curls smooth and strong. When exposed to heat (hair dryer), the effect is fixed.

Masks with a gelatin base are great for people with weakened frequent hair dyeing. They also well restore the structure of curls that have experienced perm, frequent straightening and winding with electrical appliances.

It is also useful to do lamination after dyeing, not only as nutrition and restoration, but also as a way to fix the dye in the hair for a longer time.

What is home lamination

Lamination is a process of cosmetic restoration of the hair structure by closing broken scales. Scales during the life of the hair and the negative impact of the environment begin to bristle.

Lamination makes the curls smooth and shiny, visually they become thicker and stronger due to the composition of the drinks. The strands treated in this way are better protected, they do not dry out, they can withstand styling with tongs, a hairdryer and a curling iron without much harm.

Lamination helps to seal the pigment inside the hair after dyeing for a longer period. The visual appearance of the hair is improved. In salon lamination, keratin-based compositions are used. The composition is applied cold or hot, followed by fixing with a hair straightener.

The procedure is quite expensive, so many women try to perform it on their own.

In fact, any mask based on gelatin, which consists of collagen, is an analogue of lamination.

The protein nature of this substance makes it effective in restoring the structure and improving the appearance of the hair. Algorithm home lamination similar to a cold salon: the strands are impregnated with the composition for 40-60 minutes, after which they are washed with warm water.

Is there any harm from masks based on gelatin

Gelatin masks have a slight harmful effect, which can only be associated with improper application. Since gelatin forms a film on the hair that covers the scales, it is not recommended to apply masks to the hair roots.

In each correct description, the composition is applied to the entire length, excluding 1-2 centimeters at the roots. The bulbs and scalp must breathe, so gelatin cannot be applied to the roots.

The use of gelatin masks on very thin and sparse hair is not recommended, as they make the hair heavier due to enveloping and absorption. Treated with such hair, the curls will become heavy and lose volume at the roots.

Also, be careful when using these masks. oily hair ah, as well as those suffering from dandruff, oily seborrhea and similar skin ailments.

In any case, when using gelatin hair masks, you need to monitor the time, humidity and temperature so that you can then wash off the composition from your head.

Dried gelatin is washed off very poorly even with hot water, which is why these masks are kept under a cap or polyethylene, periodically heated with a hairdryer through them or wrapped in a towel for warmth. Also, having washed off the mask poorly, there is a risk of creating the effect of a dirty head, but this is solved by repeated washing.

The positive effect of gelatin hair mask.
Gelatin is the end product of the processing of animal connective tissue. That is why it contains a lot of protein, protein, amino acids, collagen, and various trace elements. Together, these components strengthen our hair and nails. Gelatin is mainly used for food purposes, but recently it has been used to make hair masks. The effectiveness of gelatin masks can be compared with the effect of hair lamination: the hair is smoothed, acquire volume and natural shine, receive the necessary nutrition, and become stronger. Gelatin masks are suitable for all types of hair, but they give a visible effect to owners of dry, thin, porous, weakened hair. After the procedure, the hair really becomes softer, smoother and shiny. If you have naturally thick and strong hair, it is better not to do such masks, you will not see visible changes after the procedure.

Do not get carried away with gelatin masks. I would recommend them as a means for “express” hair restoration, when, for example, you have an important date or business meeting in the evening, and you need to look your best. In this case, the gelatin mask will instantly transform appearance and improve the condition of your hair, make it silky, obedient, smooth, add volume, have a nourishing and moisturizing effect. Too frequent procedures with gelatin can give the opposite result, make the strands heavier or lead to their loss.

Some rules for the use of gelatin masks.

• It is very important to dissolve the gelatin correctly: first, pour cool water, hold for forty minutes, then dissolve the residue over low heat (the liquid should not boil).
• It is important to add hair balm (high-quality) to the gelatin mask.
• The mask must be applied to clean, moisturized hair.
