How To Make Hair Gel At Home Using Simple Ingredients
How your hair looks makes or breaks your day. Bad hair days can be torturous and are likely to make you feel low on confidence.
This is one of the reasons why hair gels have turned into a must have these days, but spending a bomb on buying them each month can be frustrating, especially as you are so habitual about using it that you cannot think of a day without styling your hair without your favourite gel.
Using a hair gel makes sure that your hair stays the way you wish it to after having styled it. You do not want the air and pollution outside your home to spoil the style that you wish to adorn. This applies not just for the ladies, but for men as well who are conscious about how a hairstyle can perhaps make them look much more handsome.
Preparing a hair gel at home is simple and the easiest way to avoid spending huge amounts on purchasing hair gels each month.
With few minutes in hand, you can prepare a hair gel at home with simple home ingredients. It will not require much effort or hard work too. So, now you can keep styling your hair daily using the homemade hair gel.
The ingredients used to prepare the gels mentioned below are simple. You might already have them at home. If not, you can approach your nearby pharmacy or departmental store to get it.
Simple Homemade Hair Gel Recipe
Ingredients required:
Half to one teaspoon of unflavored gelatin and one cup of distilled warm water. Use of essential oils is optional - you can use them if you want to.
Steps to follow in order to prepare a homemade hair gel:
•
To
the
cup
of
warm
water,
add
the
unflavoured
gelatin.
Keep
stirring
the
mix
of
gelatin
in
the
water
until
it
fully
dissolves.
•
Based
on
your
need,
you
can
choose
to
increase
or
decrease
the
amount
of
gelatin
that
you
use
to
add
in
the
water.
If
you
use
less
amount
of
gelatin,
it
would
mean
"less
hold".
The
less
hold
gel
is
preferred
by
people
having
frizzy
hair.
So,
depending
on
your
hair
type,
you
can
adjust
the
amount
of
gelatin
that
you
would
prefer.
•
When
the
mixture
is
done,
put
it
in
the
refrigerator
for
about
3
to
4
hours.
This
is
done
so
that
the
gel
would
get
ample
time
to
set
when
refrigerated.
•
You
can
consider
adding
few
drops
of
your
favourite
essential
oil.
This
is
only
if
you
want
to.
After
adding
the
oil,
mix
it
well.
This is all you need to do to prepare the customized hair gel of your choice using a simple technique within the comfort of your home. Apply it onto your hair as you would with any other cosmetic hair gel. This homemade hair gel has a short shelf life of about just one to two weeks. Therefore, you would need to prepare small batches of this gel to avoid them from getting spoilt.
DIY stuffs do require a little bit of patience and some good amount of practice. The same holds true in the case of this homemade gel preparation as well. You might need few trials before you get the consistency of the gel right.
It might not turn out or look perfect the very first time you prepare it, so don't be disheartened and do not lose patience. Keep trying and you are sure to attain the right consistency of the gel within a couple of trials. Here, patience is the key.
Another hair gel recipe that you can again prepare right at home is using flaxseeds. Read on to know how a wonderful hair gel can be made using flaxseeds.
Flaxseed Gel Recipe
Ingredients required:
•
Two
tablespoons
of
whole
flaxseeds
•
One
cup
of
water
•
It
is
optional
to
use
aloevera
gel
(1/4th
of
the
flaxseed
gel
quantity)
and
essential
oils
(a
few
drops)
Steps to follow in order to prepare flaxseed-based gel:
•
Boil
the
water
first.
•
Add
the
whole
flaxseeds
to
the
boiling
water.
Keep
stirring
it
continuously.
•
This
would
take
about
5
minutes
of
time.
It
wouldn't
require
much
time
for
the
flaxseeds
to
dissolve
in
the
water,
not
more
than
five
minutes.
Ensure
that
you
keep
stirring
once
you
have
added
the
flaxseeds
to
the
water.
This
would
further
enable
the
process
to
be
quick.
•
When
the
solution
begins
to
look
like
a
gel,
remove
it
from
heat.
•
Strain
it
using
a
fine
sieve.
•
Allow
it
to
cool
down.
•
Pour
it
in
a
small
squeeze
or
pump
bottle
once
it
has
cooled
down.
•
You
can
add
aloevera
gel
to
this
mix,
if
you
wish
to.
Aloe
vera
would
make
the
gel
thin
and
also
give
it
moisturizing
properties
that
would
be
beneficial
for
your
hair.
•
You
can
also
add
essential
oil
to
the
mix.
Shake
the
bottle
well
and
the
gel
is
ready
to
be
used.
Using The Gel
To use the gel as a natural homemade hair straightening gel, you can mix the flaxseed gel with one teaspoon of lemon juice, two teaspoons of castor oil and two teaspoons of honey. Apply this mix directly to your hair strands.
Leave it on for about 30 minutes and then wash it off using a good nourishing shampoo. Let your hair dry naturally. When you do this regularly every month, it will leave your hair straight and shiny and will also give it a natural smoothness and lustre.
Make sure that you store all the extra gel prepared in the refrigerator to ensure that it remains fresh for later usage. To enable easy application, you can transfer the gel into small squeeze bottles.
So, now that you know the simple methods of preparing hair gels at home, you surely wouldn't need to spend on those expensive hair gels available in the market.
