I’m so excited about my new flaxseed hair gel for my curly hair. It works surprisingly well and is super easy
and inexpensive to make. I was watching
Shark Tank, one of my favorite shows, and a couple of women were launching
their own flaxseed gel product. The
results on how it worked on curly hair was amazing so I was inspired to try it
myself since a small bottle costs about $25. I love that it is a natural, organic product
that is made from food! My hair is curly
and very frizzy without product. The gel
held my curls well with no frizz. Love
how it left my curls feeling soft and not crunchy like many other gels I've tried.
The flaxseeds are nourishing for the hair with omega 3s, so it is non-drying too.
I added the gel to my hair while damp and then crunched my
curls. Works like a charm!
Ingredients
¼ cup of whole flax seeds
2 cups of water
Instructions:
1.
Add 2
cups of water and ¼ cup of flaxseeds in a pot.
2.
Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer
3.
Simmer for about 45 to 50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The longer you simmer the thicker the gel is
the stronger the hold.
4.
Place a strainer or towel over and bowl and pour
the mixture in.
5.
If using a towel squeeze into the seeds and gel
are separated. I found the towel to be
messy so I will try a fine mesh strainer next time.
6.
Let cool and place in a jar with a few drops of your
favorite pure essential oil if desired.
7.
Place in the fridge. Will last a couple of weeks.
8.
You can save the seeds to reuse them again.
