Orange Queen

I've been reading about gelatin treatments for hair and decided to try it out.
I used a table spoon of Knox gelatin (original in a small square orange box), 4 tablespoons of warm water, and a little bit more than half a table spoon of conditioner.
Mixed the gelatin with water, stirred it to get the clumps out, then mixed in the conditioner.
Poured the concoction on my head, put on a plastic bag, and wrapped my head in a towel.
I kept it on for an hour. No itching, no burning, no other unpleasant side effects.
I Washed the gelatin without shampoo or conditioner. Everything washed out perfectly, and my hair didn't tangle at all once it was dry.
I wasn't expecting Pantene shampoo commercial hair, but it exceeded my expectations.
As soon as my hair dried I noticed how much more manageable it is. It feels a little bit thicker, and not as brittle as it usually is. The top part of my hair is super shiny, almost looks like I used a smoothing serum but without the greasiness.
My ends are not so great looking, but definitely an improvement from before.
Overall my hair feels moisturized, and silky.
After I slept on the hair I noticed that it's not as staticky as it usually is in the morning, and it wasn't sticking up in every direction like it does every morning.
I added the before and after photos to an album in my profile. Not sure how to attach them here. My hair wasn't the greatest before the treatment, but you can definitely see the difference.
Oh, forgot, I accidentally applied the mixture to dry hair, and had to add a little bit of water to work it in. The treatment is supposed to be applied to damp hair.
Also, the treatment seems to work better on healthier less porous hair. I'll try to put it on my ends only next time, see if maybe it needs a little bit extra.
