Gelatin Protein Treatment


Gelatin is an hydrolyzed form of collagen. Hydrolyzed protein is good for your hair because the protein has been broken down and the molecules are able to penetrate all layers of the hair better to repair damage and make the hair stronger.

You will need:
  • 1 packet unflavoured gelatin (about 10g)
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or conditioner

Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water and mix with your mayonnaise or conditioner until well combined. Shampoo your hair with a clarifying shampoo to get rid of build up (your hair must be clean to absorb maximum protein). Apply to wet hair combing through to ensure all strands are coated. Cover your hair with a shower cap. Sit under a dryer for 20-30 minutes. Rinse the treatment thoroughly with warm water and follow up with a moisturising conditioner.

This treatment is great for both relaxed and natural hair. Bear in mind that this is a "HARD" protein treatment and as such you should only use it once ever six weeks or so depending on your hair’s moisture-protein balance. Please make sure your not protein sensitive.

Coconut Milk Deep Treatment

Coconut milk is rich in protein, iron, manganese, and fatty acids. Which makes it great for conditioning, strengthening and minimizing hair breakage. It also protects your hair from the UV damage of constant sun exposure. Its great for restoring shine and softness to your hair.

You’ll need:
  • 4 tablespoon to 1/2 cup Coconut milk (depending on hair length)
  • 2 tablespoon of Extra virgin olive oil  & coconut oil or your favorite oil
  • 2 tablespoon of Honey

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. You can apply the cool mixture directly to hair, or preheat the mixture in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. When applying, massage mixture on dry hair and scalp. Cover with shower cap for 60 minutes. Then use a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to rinse it out and style your hair like you usually do.
