One of the best ways to apply jelly to your hair is to lather it up like you would a shampoo.
There are many topical uses of gelatin for hair. Gelatin can be used to strengthen hair and increase body or hair support. Another topical use of gelatin is as a very firm hair gel. Gelatin ingestion may also promote hair growth and durability, but the scientific evidence for its use is conflicting.
Topical application of gelatin to hair is normally to increase durability and improve body. This beauty trick is simple and inexpensive. Before you shower, you should completely dissolve one 1-ounce (28-gram) package of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup (240 milliliters) of warm water.
Hair jelly is used topically on the hair and can improve hair growth and strength.
After washing your hair with your normal shampoo, you should apply the gelatin to your hair, applying it to your hair and around your scalp. Let the gelatin sit on the hair for a few minutes. The gelatin will look like a paste or similar to a cream mask. After several minutes, the gelatin can be completely removed from the hair with warm water.
The hair must be washed before applying the jelly.
Another method of applying gelatin to hair is to add a 1-ounce packet of gelatin directly to the shampoo bottle. Gently twist the bottle up and down to mix and dissolve the gelatin into the shampoo. Use the shampoo as usual, making sure to completely remove the foam and gelatin from your hair.
Another topical use of gelatin for hair is as a natural gel. To make the gel, mix a 1-ounce (28-gram) packet of gelatin with 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water and place in the refrigerator to set. After a little hardening, the gel can be used as a very firm and safe hair gel. Be careful, however, that this gel leaves your hair wet. Gelatin hair gel is often used by synchronized swimmers to straighten their hair during routines or by stage performers to create dramatic hairstyles.
It is advisable to consult a doctor before using hair gel.
Some estheticians believe that ingesting gelatin can increase hair growth and strength. Scientific evidence on the use of gelatin to promote hair growth is limited and incomplete. Gelatin, in reasonable amounts, is not harmful, so trying gelatin for hair growth is perfectly safe.
To ingest gelatin, flavored gelatin can simply be prepared, refrigerated, and eaten. Unflavored Jello Packets can be mixed with ice cream, juice, or anything. Gelatin supplements are also available at most drug stores, supermarkets, or health food stores. The bottle of gelatin tablets should be carefully consulted to determine the proper daily dose. If you have health concerns, it may be wise to check with your doctor before taking a gelatin supplement.
