Homemade Hair Gel

Hair Gel




This recipe came from Mommypotamus. She deserves the credit for this, I just adapted it a bit for my needs. 


Hair Gel

What to use:
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin (if you want less "hold" then use 1/2 teaspoon gelatin)
  • 1 cup very warm purified water
  • 5-10 drops essential oil (optional)
  • 8 oz mason jar

How to make:

1. Dissolve gelatin into warm water.
2.. Add essential oils if desired. Store in mason jar in the fridge.
What I do with it:
Apply to hair like regular hair gel. Store in fridge.

*Mommypotamus came up with this info. I am just passing on what her blog says about the essential oils.*
