As I was paroosing online to find some make-you-own gel, I found that one can make it using gelatin (and some scent, if you want) and water. It said that a lot of people use it every day, and that some dilute it further and use it as a hairspray.

Do you think that this would cause a bunch of breakage over time, or do you think that I could dilute my 1 cup water to 1 gelatin package even more to create an alcohol-free hairspray?

Does anyone use gelatin as a gel?

Also, if anyone has any hairspray recipes tucked away, it would be greatly appreciated. My hair hates traditional hairspray, but I can never get any down style to last without some Superman strength hold in there.

Sure. Many gels are high in protein. If your hair likes protein, it should be fine. Fine and porous hair tends to like protein. Try it! If your hair gets brittle, lay off and moisturize your hair a lot.
