Title: Pink Grapefruit Styling Gel
Categories: Hair *
Yield: 8 Ounces

1/2	c	Warm water
1	pk	Unflavored gelatin
1/2	c	Fresh pink grapefruit juice
1	ts	Glycerine
1		Crushed vitamin C tablet

Grapefruit juice by itself makes an excellent styling lotion because it is full of natural sugars that help hold the hair in place. The protein from the gelatin in this recipe gives hair extra body. This is a powerful styling gel, strong enough for the most unmanageable hair.

Combine the warm water and gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Add the grapefruit juice, glycerine and vitamin C. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well mixed. Refrigerate the mixture until solid. Remove the solid mixture from the refrigerator. When it warms to room temperature, it will be ready to use. Stir the mixture thoroughly one last time before using. Store in an airtight container. You can use this gel on either wet or dry hair to set and style it.
