12/ Can I use gelatine on straight hair? Find out if the product works on aligned strands
Those with straight hair can use gelatine to give the strands a messier effect, or to help with styling the updo hairstyle.
Gelatin is a finisher with a differentiated texture, which helps to better define the curls, and can be used alone or with a styling cream. That's why many curly and curly divas bet on the product to guarantee a prolonged and more powerful day after. But what about girls who have straight hair? Can they use it too? What is the effect that gives more highlights? Learn more here at Stay Diva!
Who has straight hair can use gelatin yes!
Of course, those with the straightest hair won't use the gelatine and become their own curl diva. However, you can use the product on this type of yarn, whether for a change in your day-to-day finish or even to style a hairstyle.
For those who have the most undefined locks, almost wavy, it's even easier to get a messy effect full of waves with gelatin. Those who have very straight hair can make gelatin an ally when it comes to holding the accessories and securing the strands.

Gelatin helps to add texture to straight hair
If you're tired of using straight hair the same way, you can try gelatin to give your strands more body. In order not to dry the hair too much, it is worth mixing it with a little cream for lighter combing or oil.
The tip is to separate the highlights into strands and go through them little by little, without exaggerating the amount, to facilitate the application. Then scrunch the hair from bottom to top and let it dry naturally. Or, if you want, dry the hair with a hairdryer and use a curling iron with wider waves, for a neater effect. Just don't forget to apply a heat protectant before using heat tools.

Swap gel for gelatin when styling
One of the biggest complaints of those who have very straight and dry hair is that the strands do not hold any accessories. Therefore, it is difficult to do up and down hairstyles on a daily basis. However, in addition to having a smoother composition than the traditional gel, gelatin can help you resolve this issue.
The application can be done in the same way as explained above, or focusing only on the part that will be stuck, if you prefer. The ideal is to apply the gelatin with the strands still damp and wait for it to dry before straightening the hair.
