Month of Hair Masques: Vinegar & Gelatin

How was your weekend? Mine was super fast, but fun. I attended 99x's Mockapalooza (90s Alternative cover bands concert), chilled & grilled at the pool, and strolled along the market in Piedmont Park (outfit for that tomorrow). While I had fun, being in the sun so much was not as fun for my hair (if my hair could talk, that is). In the summer I tend to wash my hair a lot more and every little bit of pampering helps. For this week's hair masque, I again sought out Google for unusual ingredients (that's what this series is for, after all). This recipe is particularly useful for dry, brittle hair. 

Simply mix

• 2 tbsp. unflavored gelatin
• 1 cup hot water (to dissolve gelatin)
• 1 cup cold water (to dilute vinegar)
• 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar

Directions

• Wash hair.
• While wet, apply mixture to hair (I assembled my masque before I shampooed my hair & applied it in the shower). Really work it into your hair.
• Leave on 15 minutes.
• Rinse out.
• Reshampoo & condition as usual.

How Did It Work?

Yes! Even though the gelatin was rather goopy, the masque worked like a charm. My hair was very soft and I was surprised that it worked. 


Would I Try This Again? What Would I Change?
Why not? I already have the box of gelatin. I was worried the unflavored gelatin would be hard to find, but it wasn't (PLUS, I've got another us for it coming soon!). Next time, I would just wet my hair since I'm going to shampoo it anyway. I might add more gelatin & avc since my hair is long & thick. I didn't smell the vinegar either, yay!
PS--It's 2 years today that I moved to Atlanta, yay again!
