Hair that looks more like a hay cop in a meadow than graceful curls is a nightmare for almost all ladies. Daily styling, frequent staining with aggressive substances, curling and many other harmful procedures can also lead to such a deplorable result. A special procedure - lamination, which can be easily arranged even at home, will help to bring the hair “to its senses”.

What is lamination?

Coating the hair with a special composition that gives it a healthy appearance, makes you more obedient, strong from the inside - this is lamination. The procedure is carried out in several stages, each of which has its own application technology.

It is most effective to use professional complexes from a specialized master. But the material inaccessibility of such complexes "domesticated" lamination, now any woman can make it just at home.

The positive qualities of home lamination

How can you not immediately note the huge plus of the home procedure - the cost. You will have to pay a lot to the master for lamination, so regular visits to the salon will significantly deplete the family budget. Besides, home procedure will do such wonders with tired curls:

  • relieve electrification;
  • will glue the ends of hair that have already been split and protect healthy ones;
  • straighten;
  • will make it thicker, shinier, softer.

Hair of almost any type and length can be laminated, and the procedure can be carried out even while in an “interesting position”.

Negative sides of the home procedure

As much as I would not like to save money, but at the same time look impressive, but it is not always safe to laminate your hair at home. And that's why:

  • Without fully studying the features of your hair, you can choose the wrong complex and only aggravate the situation: make dry hair even drier, and make thick hair tough, like wire, etc.
  • it is inconvenient to carry out the lamination procedure to oneself if the length of the hair is impressive: the product may not spread along the entire length and not be washed completely;
  • when you receive burns (allergic reaction, ulcers, redness of the scalp) there will be no one to complain, but only guess about the reasons for the resulting condition.

It is very easy to overexpose the composition at home, it is enough to be distracted by some household business and voila - the effect of the procedure can be unexpected, up to hair loss.

Use of professional complexes

Count on a penny among the variety of "pros" is not worth it. It is unlikely that it will be of decent quality and will lead to the expected result after the first application. The difference between budget funds and expensive ones is the composition and number of stages of the procedure.

As a rule, professional expensive products contain a greater amount of natural ingredients, thereby bringing the maximum effect from use. The result lasts longer and the hair does not lose its beauty after the second wash.

The stages of the procedure can be from 3 to 5 steps, each of which has a special special tool.


But lamination always begins in the same way - with shampooing:

  • Shampoo. The entire further course of the procedure depends on the stage of hair washing. The better the head is washed, the better the composition of the product will penetrate into the hair. The complete set of professional products usually includes special shampoos that can wash out all impurities (sebum, residues of hair care products, etc.).

Further, the process may differ, depending on the developed lamination systems. Detailed information about each of them can be found in the package of such a complex. The exposure time, the sequence of application - also differ from different manufacturers. Therefore, there are no exact universal guidelines “for all”.

Option 1

  • laminating agent (hot + cold phase);
  • nourishing mask.

This express version provides for the application of two lamination products, the first of which is dried with a hairdryer (hot phase), after which the second is applied (cold phase). After completion, the product is washed off without shampoo.

Option 2

  • tinting agent;
  • "laminate";
  • balm.

If necessary, the hair can be tinted and secured by lamination. The tint effect will last longer, while the hair will be healthier.


Option 3 (common)

  • hot phase laminating agent;
  • cold phase agent;
  • mask or balm;
  • spray.

After drying the first agent with a hair dryer (hot phase), apply the second for the cold phase. Further, without rinsing, a mask is immediately applied (or a balm - depending on the manufacturer). Thoroughly rinsing off all products with running water, you can make a safe styling using a spray.

After reading carefully all the instructions for using the lamination system. It will be possible to achieve the most positive result.

Home-style lamination

It is not always possible to purchase products from professional brands that must be used for hair lamination. But folk wizards can be found in any situation and will come up with analogs to expensive procedures.

The most popular way to laminate your hair is to make hour-long masks based on regular edible gelatin. As practice shows, this method is effective and affordable, suitable for almost every woman.

Lamination with gelatin

This food supplement for a tasty jelly or jelly can also come in handy in resuscitating tired hair. This is not in vain. Gelatin is a natural storehouse of collagen, which has a beneficial effect on hair. It fills the voids in the hair, retains moisture, making them look shiny and well-groomed.


Gelatin lamination will make your hair look fuller and thicker. Repeated use of such a tool will only increase the result. Accumulating inside the hair, gelatin strengthens its structure, and the external wrapping of the hair with a barely perceptible film protects it from the effects of temperatures, ultraviolet radiation.

How to prepare and use?

Almost all recipes for popular masks that are used for home lamination are based on several basic ingredients. Only the recipe may differ in the amount of the ingredient, depending on the length of the hair. The components are of little cost, and some of them are generally present in every woman's bathroom:

  • food gelatin in granules;
  • water;
  • balm / mask.

Here is a short list of ingredients that are very effective and easy to prepare laminating mix. Additionally you will need plastic bag(well, this shouldn't be a problem for sure). Prepare the mixture like this:

  1. Heat water (60-70⁰) or cool boiled water to this temperature.
  2. Measure gelatin with a teaspoon in this calculation:
  • for short hair - 1 tbsp. l .;
  • for hair middle length- 2 tbsp. l .;
  • for long ones - 3-4 tbsp. l.
  1. Pour the required amount of gelatin into a bowl and fill it with water in the proportion: 1 tbsp. l. gelatin three times more water (1/3);
  2. Stir well and cover with a lid for 15-20 minutes. At this time, you can just wash your hair with your favorite shampoo (better for oily hair). After washing, use a balm, rinse and wrap your head with a towel;
  3. Test the gelatin by stirring with a spoon. If any lumps remain, the mixture can be reheated in the microwave, constantly checking the dissolution of the lumps. If the mixture has become homogeneous, then a balm or mask can be added to it. For each used spoonful of gelatin, you need to take half a spoonful of mask or balm. Mix the ingredients well;

  1. Apply the mixture to wet, dried hair, stepping back 1 cm from the roots. A comb with rare teeth will help to distribute it well over the entire length of the hair;
  2. Wrap your head in a plastic bag (the "T-shirt" shape is best), and wrap it well with a towel on top.

Then you just have to wait. It takes a lot of time for this - from 45 minutes to an hour. It is worth being prepared for the liquid to drain down the neck. Therefore, it is better to use an extra small towel and wrap it around your neck.

After the end of the waiting time, the gelatin from the hair can be safely washed off, but without using shampoo.

Not so long ago, beauty salons began to offer lamination to give shine to faded strands, but many recipes for alternative formulations for this procedure, suitable for use at home, have already appeared. You will find the most effective and easy-to-perform ones below, but for now let's talk about what lamination really is, what advantages and disadvantages it has, whether it is suitable for everyone.

What is lamination?

Lamination it is customary to call a procedure for hair, which is the application of a certain composition with an enveloping structure to the strands. Thanks to this, each hair is covered with a thin film (laminated), which gives not only shine to the styling, but also noticeably straightens the hair (due to weighting), makes it smooth, soft, less brittle.

Undeniable dignity home lamination can be considered absolutely natural ingredients, the properties of which are only for the benefit of the hairstyle. At the same time, oil in lamination masks is not a base (unlike shining), so this procedure is also suitable for oily hair.

Cons of lamination:

  • Affects coloration ... Experienced hairdressers always advise combining tinting and lamination. In this case, first the hair is dyed, and then the laminating composition is applied. The fact is that this most notorious film on the strands, although invisible, is an obstacle to paint. As a result, the tinting can lie unevenly. Homemade shine masks are more rinse off than professional ones, but still keep in mind that you should definitely not laminate your hair at home before dyeing.
  • Depriving a certain amount of volume. This is due to the fact that the strands become heavier, straighten, and do not fluff, so the styling noticeably loses in volume.
  • Fragility ... On average, professional lamination lasts about three weeks, homemade - and even less. However, keep in mind that all shine masks have a cumulative effect, so the more often you pamper your hair with care, the more stable the result will be.

You have two options. Either you go to the store and buy ready-made lamination complexes, or you choose any of the recipes below and you can do it on your own. In the first case, you save time, in the second - money, since usually store-bought laminating compounds are not cheap.

The most common gelatin-based home lamination recipe:

You'll need: 1 tbsp. l. gelatin, 2 tbsp. l. water and 2 tbsp. l. any grooming mask.

How to make a laminate?

Place the gelatin in a small saucepan. Fill it with water and let the mixture swell for 30-40 minutes (usually the dissolution time is indicated on the package). Then we put the saucepan on low heat and heat, stirring constantly so that each crystal has time to dissolve. Attention! The mask mixture should not boil. As soon as the gelatinous water has become completely transparent, the mixture is ready.

How do I apply the laminate?

While the gelatin mask cools down to a comfortable temperature, you can go to wash your hair, as lamination sticks to clean strands better. During washing, it is advisable not to use a balm so as not to close the hair scales, again, for better interaction with the gelatin mixture. After bath procedures, you do not need to dry your hair - just blot it with a towel.

While you were washing your hair, the gelatinous water should have cooled down to a comfortable temperature by now. But just in case, check it out. If the mixture seemed warm to you, and not hot, then you can safely add a ready-made caring mask to the gelatin blank. Stir until all ingredients are homogeneous - the laminate is ready.

Directly applying

We distribute the gelatinous substance along the entire length of the hair. After application, it is advisable to comb the strands so that the laminating composition is evenly distributed. But if the hair is long, then it will be quite difficult to do this. In this case, "do not torture" the hair, just try to smear all areas of the hair.

Then we form a bundle on the head, put on a plastic cap (or a bag, cling film) on the resulting structure, wrap it up for additional heat with a towel and wait 1 hour.

Just don't forget to wash the saucepan in which the gelatin was boiled! Otherwise, the mixture will harden and it will be very difficult to wipe it off the sides!

It is advisable to wash off the laminating composition without shampoo and balm, not with hot water.

Important nuances:

  • Why Gelatin? This powder is a "live" collagen, the property of which is so beloved by cosmetic companies. It both restores the hair structure and promotes regeneration, so be sure to apply a laminating mask to the roots - the scalp also needs nourishment.
  • Which gelatin should you choose? Any. Instant gelatin does not differ in properties from the usual analogue, only the grinding of the powder is finer.
  • How to calculate the amount of finished lamination mask? This recipe provides quantitative data for medium length hair. If your strands fall below the shoulder blades or are very thick, then double the proportions.
  • Which mask to choose? The finished mask in this case is a base that helps the gelatinous water turn into a thick composition that will not drain and stain everything around with gelatin. Of course, it's good if the store mask is with the most natural composition.
  • Is it possible to replace the mask with a hair balm? No, this is not recommended, as the conditioner will close the hair scales before it has time to be saturated with gelatin.
  • Do I need to heat my hair with a hairdryer? Some lovers of home lamination prefer to warm up the structure on the head with a hairdryer, while others do without it, since the laminating mask is under the influence high temperature may start to drain from the hair. At the same time, based on the reviews, the hairdryer does not affect the final result at all, therefore, if you do not add oils that just "like" heating, then you can do without thermal devices.
  • How often should lamination be done? Due to the fact that this procedure has a cumulative property, it is advisable to repeat it at least once a week for one month. Then you can gradually reduce the amount of exposure to the laminate to one or two times a month.

What can be added to the laminate mix for greater effect?

  1. Essential oils 1-2 drops (burdock, almond, argan, sea buckthorn, olive, etc.). However, if you have fat type hair, then this is not recommended due to the fact that the strands will become untidy faster after washing. In addition, oils have the ability to wash out dye from tinted hair, especially bleached hair.
  2. Honey 1 tsp . This product is rich in natural "health benefits", but keep in mind that adding honey will make the laminate mixture more difficult to wash off.
  3. Ampoule vitamins for hair(about a third or half of a standard ampoule).
  4. Yolk 1 PC. - natural hair structure restorer.
  5. Herbal infusion(chamomile, nettle, string, etc.). In this case, the infusion replaces the water in which the gelatin dissolves.
  6. Vitamin capsule content "AEvit" or 1 drop of solution liquid vitamins A and E(sold at the pharmacy).
  7. Colorless henna 1 tbsp. l. - is an excellent laminate in itself, but remember that the powder of this herb dries the strands.

There are many more alternative formulations for home lamination procedures, but the gelatin mask is one of the easiest to perform and budget options... Try it! The result will make you wonder!
