Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerous
Our hair needs not only nourishment, but also hydration, two essential elements in the hair routine of those who want to have shiny, defined and healthy hair. In fact, poorly hydrated hair has the undesirable "frizz effect" that with humidity amplifies excessively, making our locks appear swollen and shapeless.
To solve the problem in a natural way and without having to resort to expensive chemical treatments, there are many very easy solutions to be implemented at home even for those who are new to DIY beauty treatments. Whether you choose to make a pre-shampoo pack, a post-shampoo mask or a styling to apply before drying, it doesn't matter, if your hair needs hydration, then you have to focus on gels.
The recipe we propose is in fact an elementary gel, highly recommended for wraps. We are talking about the gel of corn starch or GAM, based on the very starch used in cooking, but this time we are not going to prepare puddings or creams, rather a moisturizing gel that can be used alone or in combination with nutrients such as oils (coconut, almond, evo and so on ) or fruit such as ripe banana or avocado, yogurt and much more. But let's see how to prepare the GAM.
Preparation
To prepare the GAM you need only 2 ingredients: water and corn starch. The proportions for a compress quantity for those with long hair are as follows:
- 1 cup of water (about 200 ml)
- 1 heaping tablespoon of corn starch
We first pour our nice spoonful of cornstarch into the cup of water and mix thoroughly until the starch dissolves completely. Then transfer the liquid to a saucepan and place it on the heat over low heat, stirring continuously until an opaque white gel is created that tends to transparent. And there you have it, simple right? Our GAM is ready, now we have to wait for it to cool to be able to apply it on the hair and keep it in place for at least 30 minutes. Use a shower cap to keep it from running off.
You can add anything you want to the pack: turmeric, cocoa, yogurt, oils, fruit, etc. to make it more complete according to your needs.
A few important recommendations:
- GAM can be applied to both dry and damp hair, we recommend the latter. If you decide to add the oils, then the hair must be absolutely wet otherwise you risk the opposite effect, that is, drying the hair and not a little.
- GAM should not be frozen, so if you have short hair, try half the recipe dose.
- Each hair has its specific needs and may or may not like certain products. Try the GAM at least a couple of times before saying “it's not for me”.
