Hair ties Bobby pins (~100) Hair net Knox Gelatine (original unflavored) Boiling water Bowl and spoon Busting brush for applying knox Comb Hand towel

Preparing the Hair

• Pull hair tightly into a ponytail high on the head
• Form a bun, wrap with a hair net, and secure with bobby pins
• Mix two packages of gelatin with hot (boiling) water using a small amount of water (about a 1/2 cup) to dissolve the gelatin (not lumpy/not watery)
• Apply the liquid gelatin to the exposed hair including the bun
• Brush and pat little ends into place
• Let dry for a few minutes and re-apply another layer or 2 (when the gelatin dries, the hair becomes stiff and will remain in place throughout the routine)

• Secure headpiece around bun using more bobby pins
  It is important to make sure the hair and headpiece are secure. A headpiece that starts to come off during a routine is distracting to the judges and to the swimmer. To remove gelatin, rinse the hair in warm water and it will melt away.
