Their preparation is quick and simple, and the result will surprise you.
Gelatin and its properties
Before you do the lamination of hair at home with the help of gelatin, it is necessary to understand its properties and how it affects the hair.
Salon lamination is the application of a special composition to the hair coat. It covers each hair with the thinnest invisible film that transforms the general appearance of the hair. Due to this, the hair gets reliable protection from negative external factors. The procedure promotes healthy hair, which eventually becomes smooth and obedient.
The method can be called truly miraculous, as it is able to bring back even heavily thinned curls in life. However, the procedure carried out in the salons is very expensive. Those women who want to save money and want to look charming at the same time choose home biolamination for themselves. The product used for this is similar to salon products for the following properties:
Includes natural collagen, as well as amino acids, dietary fiber, vitamins, protein, cellulose, and even trace elements.- After all the components are absorbed, the structure of each hairs improves.

- It has thermoprotective properties, which means it is suitable for ladies who actively use curling tongs or hair dryers.
- Promotes easier remembering the shape of hair.
- Contains vitamin E, nourishes the hair and retains moisture in it.
Includes natural collagen, as well as amino acids, dietary fiber, vitamins, protein, cellulose, and even trace elements.Most of the products sold in stores and intended for care, contain gelatin. This should also be known.
The advantage of gelatin is that it contains collagen protein of natural origin. After treatment with masks with gelatin, the hair becomes healthy and thicker. But hope for a stunning instant effect is not worth it. In order for the changes to be noticeable, it is necessary to do at least three procedures.
Advantages of the home procedure
The process of lamination at home does not take much time. All that is needed is to prepare and apply a mask. Homemade hair product, which includes gelatin, is suitable for everyone and has no contraindications. Gelatin eliminates such problems:
- damaged hair ends
- thin curls,
- dullness and lack of elasticity.
Home biolamination is inferior to that carried out in the cabin only by the fact that its action cannot be immediately seen. While the professional procedure guarantees instant effect.
In addition, the effect of professional lamination is quite long. The effect is visible from 4 months to six months, whereas the procedure performed at home will have to be repeated after 30 days, as the gelatin is quickly washed off. But at the same time, it restores hair and has a tendency to accumulate, penetrating inside the hairs. If you go home a couple of courses, the hair will look gorgeous for quite a long time.
But it does not do without negative sides. The disadvantages include:
- Failure to comply with all stages of the preparation of the recipe can be confronted with unpleasant consequences, for example, with excessive fat content or overdrying.
- The long-awaited effect may never come.
- Hair becomes greasy much faster than before.
- Often there is increased dryness of the tips of the hair.
Like any other product, gelatin can be an allergen. You need to try the effect of the substance on a small area of the head before the start of the main procedure. It is best to apply a small amount of gelatinous mass behind the ear and wait about a quarter of an hour. If there is no redness or other negative phenomena, then you can proceed to the procedure.
Some ladies who have had time to experience the effect of lamination with gelatin, note that after all the manipulations the hair gets dirty faster, and therefore you have to wash your hair more often. Therefore, if the hair is different fat, you do not need to add to the composition of vegetable oil and milk. They are replaced by two or three drops of lavender essential oil, rosemary or ylang-ylang.
