Lamination of hair with gelatin at home

Every woman knows that in order to be attractive, it is necessary to take care not only of the face and body, but also of the hair. Today, salons offer many interesting procedures for the care of curls, and one of the most popular is the lamination of hair. It consists in applying special substances that return strands to their natural shine and healthy appearance. After it, an invisible film appears in each hair, which protects it from negative factors and does not interfere with the flow of oxygen.

Not many people realize that lamination can be done independently without leaving home. At the same time, you do not have to buy expensive ingredients, since the basis of the classic composition for home lamination is ordinary gelatin. This is a storehouse of collagen, which is necessary to maintain youth and beauty not only of hair, but of the whole body. The results from this procedure will exceed all your expectations, most importantly, observe the correct ratio of ingredients and act according to the instructions.

About how often you need to laminate hair at home and what kind of composition exists, read in this article.

During lamination, a special composition is distributed along the entire length of the hair, which envelops the core of each hair like an invisible film. As a result, curls look healthier, more beautiful, easy to comb, and besides, they receive protection from the negative effects of the environment. Home lamination also copes with this task, but it costs several times less. A bag of gelatin, which holds a tablespoon of powder, costs a few rubles. Even with the need for several procedures, the benefits are obvious.

In addition to natural collagen, gelatin contains protein, amino acids, dietary fiber, cellulose, vitamins and trace elements, allowing you to restore even tired and damaged hair to life. During the procedure, substances penetrate into the hair shaft and restore it along its entire length. Importantly, the film that appears on each hair does not prevent them from breathing.

When applying the composition, the scalp and a couple of centimeters of hair at the roots are not processed. This is done because rinsing gelatin from the skin is more difficult, and irritation from it is not excluded. Despite the fact that this product does not cause allergies, astringents in its composition can deliver uncomfortable sensations when it comes into contact with the head.

After the procedure, the appearance of the hair improves in several directions at once:

• hair thickens and looks much more voluminous, so the owners of thin and liquid curls especially like the procedure;
• an invisible coating protects every hair from the harmful effects of external factors that are especially relevant for cities with poor ecology: exhaust fumes, smog and other atmospheric emissions will not be able to harm your hair;
• lamination makes curls smoother and more lively;
• the procedure does not allow the pigment to be washed out, which means that you can longer enjoy the saturated color obtained after staining.

We will tell you more about the positive and negative properties of home lamination. Its advantages are the same as in the salon procedure:

1. protects against thermal damage, therefore it is recommended for use if you straighten your hair with an iron, curl it with a curling iron or blow dry;
2. the curls become more obedient and hold the styling better;
3. the hair is filled with useful substances, which is very important if they are damaged;
4. fragility passes, split ends are sealed;
5. rare thin curls look thicker and more voluminous.

It is believed that due to the formation of a thin film on the surface of each hair, they lack oxygen, which leads to negative consequences. In fact, this opinion is not supported by anything. The gelatin film passes air, there are no harmful effects from laminating hair at home, since all the ingredients of the home-made composition are of natural origin.

With all the advantages of this healing procedure, there are cases in which it is not worth doing, since it will not benefit or simply will not bring the desired results.

1. An unpleasant consequence that can occur from home lamination is increased oily hair. If your curls themselves have this property, then the procedure can enhance this effect. The dry type needs such nutrition much more.
2. Very hard hair of the oriental type can behave unpredictably after home lamination. Sometimes the hair becomes even tougher and naughty.
3. Too much curls should be cleaned first. At the hairdresser or yourself, you need to polish their surface, so that they will look more solid and healthy. Only then can home-made lamination be done.
4. If you just painted, then you need to wait a couple of days before the procedure. This time will be enough for your curls to "rest".
5. It is not recommended to experiment with gelatin lamination after perms.

Lamination of the house has one drawback compared to the salon - the result of it is visible only after several procedures. For the greatest effect, you will have to be patient and do it once a week for a month. However, a lower price can be a significant advantage of a home treatment. Let's consider in stages how to do it yourself. The proportions of the ingredients are based on short hair.

• First you need to dilute gelatin. Pour a 15-gram bag, which corresponds to about one tablespoon, into the container in which the composition will be prepared. It is better to take porcelain or enameled dishes.
• Pour in three tablespoons of cooled boiling water, close and hold for 20 minutes. If part of the powder does not dissolve, but forms small lumps, slightly warm the mixture. Do not boil, break them. If you over-hold the gelatin on the stove, then it may lose its properties.
• Now in the mixture you need to add half a spoon of the conditioner that you usually use.
• Wash your hair and pat your hair slightly.
• While the solution has not solidified, distribute it through the hair, avoiding the basal area.
• Wrap the head with plastic wrap and wrap it with a warm towel. For more active penetration of gelatin into the hair structure, you can warm them with a warm stream of air from a hair dryer. The latter is optional.
• After 30 minutes, rinse the mixture without shampoo, using not hot but warm water. It is believed that rinsing with lemon water (a tablespoon of juice per liter) will help to consolidate the result.

The second version of the composition for home lamination has a richer composition, and therefore you may like the effect of it more.

• Similarly to the previous option, first you need to pour one tablespoon of gelatin with three tablespoons of not too hot boiled water. Stir the mixture so that no lumps form, and set it to swell.
• Wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo to remove all dirt. No need to use balms for better combing. Dry your hair slightly, leaving it slightly damp.
• Place a pot on the stove and use it to make a water bath. Put the gelatin to heat to completely dissolve, but do not allow it to boil.
• Cool the resulting mass and mix the rest of the ingredients into it.
• Apply the composition to the hair and rinse it off after an hour.

The third composition includes apple cider vinegar, which is known for its beneficial properties in cosmetology.

• Bay gelatin all in the same ratio, leave it saturated.
• After 20 minutes, pour a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into the mass and mix again.
• Lightly heat the container with the composition in a water bath and drip there lavender oil. Gently rub the mixture into the hair and leave for half an hour, and then rinse.

We bring to your attention useful hair masks, which contain gelatin. They must be used after home lamination to keep the result as long as possible. We also consider several recipes that enrich the composition for lamination with vitamins and minerals.

The above classic recipe for lamination is the basis for home cosmetics. So, if you replace the water with something more useful, you can get a very good mask.

To strengthen the hair follicles, it is good to add half a teaspoon of castor oil or burdock oil to the gelatin base. Keep the composition for an hour under a towel or a warm hat.

Put gelatin to swell and after 15-20 minutes pour the yolk into the mixture. If it is difficult to get a homogeneous mass, you can add a little water - the main thing is that the consistency of the mask is like sour cream. Then sprinkle all other ingredients. Keep the mixture on the hair wrapped in a towel for about an hour.

To prepare the mixture, the following products are taken:

• dry mustard;

The ratio of ingredients is selected by eye, the main thing is that the resulting composition has the consistency of sour cream. Shake the raw eggs in a bowl with a whisk or a fork and gradually pour mustard powder into them. Distribute the resulting gruel in the hair, rubbing the strands together for better absorption, and then go through the hair with a comb with rare teeth and insulate the head. After an hour, the composition can be washed off, while cleaning products do not need to be used.

When laminated in a hairdressing salon, the effect usually lasts up to one or two months. If you constantly do this manipulation, then the appearance of the hairstyle will improve significantly, however, you need to remember that the benefits and visible results directly depend on how correctly it is done. Home lamination disappears faster, so in order to achieve a long and powerful effect, it is recommended to repeat it weekly for two to three months.

After the gelatin has accumulated in the hair, you can not remember lamination for several months, and then repeat this course again. Another option is to apply a gelatin composition every three weeks.

1. The best effect of this procedure is noticeable on thin and overdried hair, but rebellious curls give in to it very poorly, so you will have to choose other procedures for them.
2. It is also good to do home lamination on the hair after dyeing, since gelatin envelops the hair and prevents the dye from rinsing off.
3. The result of the procedure will not come to naught from using a hairdryer, and it is better not to use ironing and curling iron. Moreover, hair will become more obedient and look gorgeous without additional styling.
4. The first day after lamination, do not do the tail and other hairstyles, so as not to pull the hair.

Try to use combs made from natural materials. Accessories with soft bristles are best suited.

When washing, it is recommended to treat your hair more carefully. That is, do not lather them too intensely, do not twist them during squeezing. Gently foam the shampoo and rub it into the scalp without sudden movements. Do not use too hot water to wash your hair.

The less alkaline compounds in shampoos, the longer you will enjoy smooth and obedient hair. You can replace the usual detergent with a special one designed for hair after painting.

The results of home lamination impress not only the girls themselves who did this procedure, but also experts in the field of beauty. Some hairdressers admit that they themselves do it at home, since the price of a home composition is much lower than a salon, and the result is not inferior to a more expensive counterpart.

Many women experience hair fluff in rainy weather and in high humidity. The strands do not want to lie evenly, they begin to beat out of the hairstyle or even curl. For them, lamination becomes a real salvation, as it protects your hair from the effects of weather conditions. In addition, after treatment with gelatin, the hair ceases to be electrified. If usually when changing clothes they crack slightly when in contact with clothes and are magnetized to the face, then after lamination you can forget about these unpleasant moments.

Most of the positive reviews about this procedure are left by girls with thin and sparse hair. Due to the weekly use of the gelatin composition, they transformed their hair in several procedures, giving them visual volume and density. But girls with very curly hair can not get the perfect smoothness, however, the curls become more elastic and shiny, which is also a positive result.

An important advantage of home lamination is also the fact that gelatin, as a rule, does not cause allergies, and women with a tendency to such reactions have to choose any synthetic means with caution. Note that adding synthetic components to the home composition, such as balm or mask, the hair reaction can be different. For example, one of the girls added a coconut mask to the classic composition and the result did not just disappoint, but turned out to be the opposite - the tips began to look even drier.

Smooth and healthy hair never goes out of style. At all times they serve as an adornment of any woman, giving her image femininity and charm. That is why smoothing hair treatments are always popular in hairdressing and beauty salons.

After home lamination, the hair does not just look shiny - it really becomes stronger and healthier. It is also important that during this procedure harmful substances are not used, which cannot be said, for example, about keratin straightening. The composition of the mixture includes exclusively natural ingredients that can be found in every housewife or will be easily bought in a store, as they are quite inexpensive.
