Easy Hair Gel--Medium Hold Recipe #378389
After wanting to try this, I finally had the courage. Good grief, I bought two pounds of gelatin for $.59/lb. several years ago. I've had a lot of experience making home made cosmetics and soap and that experience has served me well here. Why on earth have I waited so long to do this? Enjoy! NOTE: Cooking time is cooling time. You may use isopropyl or ethyl alcohol; the recipe format didn't allow that note.
