Gelatin Protein Treatment Recipe Update
Ingredients
  • Unflavored gelatin(e)
  • Water - distilled is ideal
  • Optional: citric acid, ascorbic acid or vinegar to adjust pH
  • Xanthan gum (if you hate xanthan gum, use guar gum but I think xanthan gum gives a better texture and smells less offensive)
  • subheading: Measurements:
  • subheading: This makes about 1 treatment.:
  • ¼ to ½ cup water (60 to 120 ml)
  • 1 packet Knox unflavored gelatin powder (0.25 oz, 7.2 grams, 2 ½ teaspoons) or crumbled gelatine flakes or sheets
  • ->Use half the gelatin for a milder treatment
  • ¼ to ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (¼ tsp with ¼ cup water, ½ tsp. with ½ cup water)
  • 5 drops vinegar (1/16th teaspoon) or a tiny pinch of citric acid or ascorbic acid (enough to fill this typed letter "O").
  • note: Note: More acid is NOT better.  Better to leave out the acids than use too much! Too much acid will interfere with the protein's ability to bond with your hair (yes, it does a little of that).

  • Double the recipe, triple or quadruple it and refrigerate or freeze the leftovers. Bonus points: freeze the leftovers in an ice cube tray (silicone ice cube trays work wonderfully).
