~ Hair Tip ~

~ Homeade Hair Mousse ~

Dissolve 1/4 teaspoon plain gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Let sit at room temperature until slightly set. Rub into dry or wet hair, and blow dry.

Use this mix when shampooing hair. It will help remove product buildup.

Using too much shampoo will strip the oils from your hair and contribute to flyaway hair. Massage the lather into your hair, don't rub. You can activate the sabaceous glands, causing more oil to be released. Rubbing can also cause the hair to catch on the other hairs, causing hair damage.
