How to make flax seed hair gel

Flax seed gel is amazing for wavy to extremely curly and course hair. Curls have volume, definition, and shine without crunch. Touchable curls.

Set out your container. * I'm using a cute mason jar. And your small strainer.

Bring 2c water to boil. Mix in 1/2 cup flax seeds. Stir often to keep foam at bay. Boil for about 6-8 minutes and reduce heat for 1-2min.

Flax seeds are full of omega 3 fatty acids. They are cheap, and widely available in bulk. I love this gel for air dry dos, for use with a diffuser, or a wet set.

Poor into your container.

Strain out the seeds.

* it looks like boogers by this point.

Add in 3-5 drops of essential oil. * I'm using lavender.

Let your gel stand at room temperature to cool. Once your gel has cooled place it in your fridge. I keep mine for about 2 weeks. It will start to smell FRESH when it's time to dump it.

Done.
