How to DIY an Easy Flaxseed Gel for Curly Hair
In this tutorial, we’re going to make two batches of flaxseed gel for curly hair.
The first will be a regular flaxseed hair gel and the other will have flaxseed detergent and a bit of honey.
I will also be adding essential oils to my hair gel, but you don’t have to add them. Let’s get started!
Tools and materials:
- Measuring cup
- Flaxseed
- Essential oils
- Honey
- Stocking
- Funnel
- Jars
1. Add flaxseed to water and boil
Pour about ½ cup of flaxseed into two cups of water.
You can do whatever measurements you want, such as 1 cup of flaxseed for 2 cups of water, but this is the general ratio. Let boil.
2. Add essential oil
Once the water is boiling, add ½ tablespoon of any essential oil. Continue boiling until you get a bit of mucus on top of the water.
3. Pour out the gel
Separate the gel from the seeds. Ideally, you should let your flaxseed cool down enough to harden a little, but I didn’t have enough time.
You should end up with about one cup of gel from the easy pour. Set the gel aside and let it cool down for a while.
4. Place your stocking over the measuring cup
Place your stocking over your measuring cup and the rest of the stocking should fall in the middle of the cup.
5. Filter the rest of the gel from the flaxseed
Place 2 tbsp of flaxseed of gel at a time into the stocking.
It shouldn’t be too hot to the touch. It if is, let it cool down or wear gloves. Start filtering the gel by squeezing it through the stocking.
6. Mix
Mix both of the gels together.
7. Filter the gel again
Filter it one more time to make sure that all of the seeds are gone from your gel. This time, I poured all of the gel into the stocking.
As you can see, there were still a few seeds in the gel.
You should be left with about 1⅔ cups of flaxseed gel.
8. Bottle
Use a funnel to pour the gel into a bottle for storage. I poured my gel into two different bottles.
9. Add honey to the gel
Add honey to the second bottle of gel. I recommend adding about ¼-½ tablespoons of honey. Mix it in well.
10. Label
Don’t forget to label your bottles with both the ingredients and the date you made them!
