A lot of people would ask me what is a curl popper? lolz, that's my own form of popping hair gel. not only is this extra easy to make, but for those who decide to go on a budget; this is amazing for controlling frizz, conditioning and moisturising your tresses.
Things needed for the hair popper
-2 tablespoons of gelatine
-2 teaspoons of coconut oil
-1 teaspoon of olive oil
-2 teaspoons of glycerine
-1/2 cup of water
-1 teaspoon of lemon or lime juice
-4 tablespoons of aloe gel or 1 freshly cut aloe plant
-1/2 teaspoon shea butter
-3 drops JBCO
-few drops of tea tree oil
-rosemary herb/lemongrass herb
DIRECTIONS
*In a deep bowl, add water, lemongrass and rosemary herbs together. Allow to sit over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, then drain the liquid after removing the herbs.
*over medium heat, add gelatine to the premixed infusion in a saucepan. Let it sit till the gelatine is completely dissolved.
*In another small container, mix your oils and shea butter together. You can either whip till its extra fluffy and creamy or u allow it sit over low heat so it doesn't loose its healing properties.
*After allowing to cool, remove the gelatine mixture which, if observed would have a gel-like consistency. Add your aloe gel, and the oil mix.
*place in a blender, blend until it has a creamy silky consistency.
*Add your jbco and essential oils.
voila your homemade popper/gel is ready for use. I call this my own eco styler gel lolz. This works well for all hair types ranging from the type 1-4 hair types, as it has extra hold to it. You can store this in your refrigerator for a week and use, else u add your preservatives in case you have to travel.
