Margarita, 23 years old:

"After reading the next positive feedback about laminating hair gelatin at home, I decided to use this method to improve the condition of my hair. I did everything as indicated in the instructions. Results after the procedure did not inspire me. The locks became just a little softer, and I did not see any unexpected transfiguration.

The night began the most interesting - the scalp began to itch, and it continued until the morning. In general, I want to say that you will not get any harm from using a gelatin mask, but if you have very sensitive skin, hair gelatin treatment will not work for you. "

Unequivocally, the condition of my curls changed for the better: they became obedient, shiny and smooth. I recommend this gelatinous mask to everyone. "
