Cheap and Easy to Make! The Recipe for Homemade Hair Gel.

Here is a hair gel recipe super easy to do it yourself.

This gel is nontoxic and natural! It is cheap and it works beyond my expectations!

For this you only need 2 ingredients. A third can be added as an option.

We have quite a few recipes for hair on this site to make yourself, especially for making homemade shampoos.

But until now, I had yet to find a hair gel that works with my curls.

make natural hair gel yourself

Previously I had my favorite brands of gel that I have always loved and used. But recently, I noticed that with each use I had eczema attacks on my hands ...

Normal! While doing research, I realized that these gels sold in supermarkets contain a lot of toxic products. Yuck!

So I tried a lot of natural recipes! But none of them worked well for me. The flaxseed hair gel was sticking to my hair and after a week it was worse than plaster!

I also tried shea butter, coconut oil, the combination of the two, aloe vera, glycerin ... I have probably tried everything!

I had almost given up on finding one that worked. Until I stumbled upon this natural recipe. She only uses gelatin and water. What could be better than these 2 very simple ingredients?

Why do I love this homemade gel?

It is not expensive to make. It only costs a few cents per jar. There are 96 teaspoons of product in this box of gelatin, and we only use 1 per jar. Your investment for this gelatin box is therefore very profitable!

It smells good. The essential oils I use are lavender and peppermint, or orange and rosemary. I smell it all day and it's great.

It is easy to do.

It is completely natural and safe for health.

Funny tip: my mom told me that synchronized swimmers in the fifties used gelatin so that their hairstyles wouldn't budge! Not bad is not it ?

A gel with 3 levels of hold

Normally my hair needs a lot of styling cream because it is dry and unruly (very thick, dense and very frizzy).

When I made my gel for the first time, I was surprised at its light structure which held well on my hair. I found that medium strength was enough for me.

And for my hair, it lasted for several days.

The strong hold is really too strong and a little cardboard for my taste.

I find mine a bit sticky when drying, but pliable once it's totally dry.
