Mercadona keeps all kinds of unique solutions for your skin and hair in its perfumery section. However, thanks to social media, we have discovered a hair trick kept in its food section.
Through platforms like TikTok, there are plenty of tips circulating about beauty routines and unexpected products that, according to those who try them, really work. This time, it is a simple trick that requires just 1 euro and promises visible results on hair instantly.
the hair secret hidden in the pantry
A product that is normally associated with sweet recipes has started to stand out as a natural remedy for hair care. Neutral gelatin sheets, available at Mercadona, are gaining followers for their benefits on hair fiber. What many did not know is that this ingredient is a rich source of collagen and proteins, essential for strong and healthy hair.
Collagen has the ability to repair damaged hair fibers, while proteins help improve hair texture. Additionally, this natural treatment acts as a sealant for the hair cuticle, which helps reduce frizz and makes styling easier. All this at a very affordable price and without resorting to harsh chemicals.
how to prepare this viral trick
The application method has been shared by several users on TikTok, including @andreavvn, who has shown how easy it is to prepare this mixture. The first thing you should do is put the gelatin sheets in warm water for five minutes to hydrate them. Then, they should be soaked again in hotter water and mixed well until they are completely dissolved.
Once ready, the mixture should be cooled in the fridge for about thirty minutes, allowing it to acquire a firmer texture. When taking out the preparation, it is well crushed and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar is added, another natural ingredient known for balancing the scalp's pH. This mixture is applied directly to the hair, from roots to ends, and left to act for half an hour before rinsing.
an economical trick that conquers social media
This homemade treatment has revolutionized social media for how economical and effective it is. With just 1 euro, you can access a hair care routine that has nothing to envy to much more expensive products. Users claim to notice a significant improvement in the texture, shine, and manageability of their hair after using this trick.
More and more people are opting for natural alternatives that care for their hair without the need for harsh chemicals, and this remedy with neutral gelatin seems to meet those expectations. Although it was not originally created for cosmetic purposes, its high nutrient content has made it a growing trend. Especially for those looking for practical, economical, and effective solutions.
