A proud mumma moment.

My handsome boy, who is nearly 14, asked me to get him some gelatine today. What for? I asked.

I am going to make my own home-made hair gel – it’s cheap and it’s got nothing artificial in it, he says.

Winner!

He had researched on Google and found a recipe on Yahoo.

It’s so easy. You have to try it!

Okay, so this is what you need:

1/2 teaspoon of gelatine (if you are vegan, you might like to try agar agar)

1/2 cup hot water

Okay, so this is how you do it:

Whisk the gelatine into the hot water. Put into the fridge until it sets. Mix it up well before you use it.

Use a tiny bit on your hair and rub it through well.

Check out the gorgeous curls on my boy  – the girls at school always want to touch them ! 😉

If you want it to smell nice, you can add some essential oils.

It will keep for a week in the fridge in a sealed container.

So, I am pretty happy that my boy is thinking about what products he is using and trying to come up with alternatives. Not only is this natural, it’s cheap too!
