You need to do something with your voice. Voice acting, ASMR, etc. SOMETHING! New sub. I love how you show what happens when you mix something the wrong way.
This gel recipe has transformed my hair. It’s nourishing yet still provides hold without my hair being crunchy. I’ve able to go an extra week before wash day and probably could have gone another few days if my scalp wasn’t itchy. My hair is so much more manageable and the only thing I’ve changed in my routine is the gel. Thank you!
Girl, how are you so amazing?! I found your channel yesterday and I've been binge watching since 😅 I've learnt so much already. I'm already obsessed with DIY hair products but I've been feeling a bit lost with skincare lately and along comes WholeElise 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 I'm grateful for all you're doing. I pray that God's hand will continue to be upon your life, directing your path. Love you lots ❤
Your voice is so soothing. I’m glad I found your channel. I’m so lazy when it comes to DIY. I was looking for a link to buy the already made product but since this is super easy I guess I can try it. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. God bless you!!!
I honestly really prefer flaxseed gel it's cheaperaand it works on my hair and I understand everyone's hair is different so flaxseed gel is just what works better for me personally
I wish I could use it. It was beautiful but I am allergic. Looked like I had chicken pocks. And my whole scalp was inflamed and red. No flax on my skin or in my body.
@@WholeElise Does it cause much harm build up? Obviously I know I can clarify but trying to understand more about the ingredient. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Will be looking through your videos fir any updates etc.
Your videos are all so professional and beautifully shot. They're interesting and super informative. I've learnt more from just 3 of your videos than I have in 1 year. I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you for such beautiful content.
Hi! New subscriber here. I made this recipe for my daughter's hair. It works great...the only difference is, mine came out a brownish color because my aloe vera powder isn't white. I also added a couple drops of lavender oil. Thx a million 🤩
** Fantastic & revolutionary hair gel** It’s my 3rd test recipes from WholeElise, I recently made the leave-in-conditioner which amazed me for how simple and professional it looked ! I did the hair gel recipe as I was tired of each sundays cooking flaxseed gel. I wasn’t expecting much of it until i tested it on a strand of hair. One strand damped in water with the leave-in-conditioner (the Whole Elise one) then the gel and some argan oil. One other strand damped in water without the leave-in, gel and argan oil. That’s when magic happened ! The gel instantly glides through the hair and fully nourishes it. The curls are fully present and shiny. It’s the best hair I’ve ever had in my life ! Especially as I frequently play sports and swimm in pools, even when deep conditioning it hasn’t been so moisturized. Fantastic a huge thank you to Elise for sharing generously her knowledge ! Life changing recipe 🤩☺️
I didn’t put aloe vera powder, neither the preservative eco so I’m not sure if it slightly modifies the recipe’s texture and result. It’s definitely going to be a fast wash&go gel for after sport sessions. Especially when you’re the last one in the lockeroom still washing&styling your hair...😛😛
You are a God send to everyone of us💛💗💙 thank you so much for this... i have all the ingredients in the house💃💃💃 this week I will be making this gel, hair mask, deep conditioner and hair cream. Thank you so much🤗
Omg! Thank you so much for making this DIY hair gel. As I have low porosity hair, it is so hard to find gels that doesn’t have protein or aloe vera in them. BTW your channel is EVERYTHING! The content quality, the information, and your website (chef’s kiss). I’m so glad that I stumbled across your channel.
That's so sweet of you to say, really appreciate the support! It can be a real nightmare trying to find a gel that has everything you need, so I'm glad you'll give this a try 😊💚
I'm so excited that I found this channel!! This made my week. This channel and website is amazing! Hands down, so impressed with the content. I'm about to binge watch all the videos!
What, in your opinion, is the most natural preservative that works well. I don't mind making smaller batches but don't want to have to do it on a weekly basis, though I'd like the products to be as chemical free as possible. Thank you 🙂
First time here and this is my second video. I love it!!! So detailed and thorough! Ive been wanting to revamp my own hair products for my clients and wanting to give them more variety of products and adding more value to their hair. Thank you so much for your insight! This really helps me with a better foundation for my products!
Just visited your website. Wow. I so pumped to make everything on it. Making homemade stuff is great because you know what you put in it and it saves money in the long run. Thanks for sharing freely. You will be blessed.
Thanks Elise, finally a I found a recipe that works for me. It is awesome! I have got natural red strait hair. Now in menopause it is going curly! My hair loves it all the way. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Elise, another great video...I've been making this gel with aloe vera juice instead of distill water. I totally agreed with you, it is indeed the best hair gel. We very much enjoy your videos....
holy moly this gel is so good!!! leaves a cast but crunches out into beautiful soft waves. this saves me a lot of money thank you so much ELISE@!! i didnt put any aloe powder and used propylene glycol in place of glycerin and still works great!
I LOVED this! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together and sharing this!❤️ I have been researching ways to make my own hair gel for awhile now since I decided to stop using wetline (great gel, great hold but not healthy for my hair or body) so this is perfect. Thank you
What do you think would be a good formula for a retwist gel for locs? The goal of this type of gel would be extreme, long-lasting hold with no build up. Seems like it would be a mix of a pomade and a gel.
You are the greatest of all times. Where have you been all this while? Well I'm glad I found your channel at last. Thank you very much. Pls can this gel be used as edge control? If not, then can you make a video on edge control pls. Thank you.
Aww you're so sweet! Happy to have you here 💚 I prefer to use this for wet hair styling but I do have a Shea butter edge control that you could try: ua-cam.com/video/jm7Zqk8cq50/v-deo.html 😊
Thank you dear Elise for this wonderful recipe 😍👏🏼!!! I made mine today and it is an absolute perfection🎉💛:)) i also added a few drops of peppermint oil to mine:)) Texture is great & the hold is excellent too:)) Thank you so much for this easy & healthy recipe 💛🌸!!!
I only use gums for cosmetics. They may be "edible," but they give me gut pain and make my sciatica flare up, and the research I've done has suggested that they're quite bad for our health, so I don't really consider them edible. But they are great for making cosmetics. Thanks for the video I love your tutorials! You really take diys to a whole new level I can't wait to try some of these 😍
Dearie.... Need help.. is the clear xanthan gum you used is same as the food grade one ? Because I can't find it here in my country. Can I replace it with food grade xanthan gum or guar gum or both ( xanthan + guar gum)?.
@@chandhanaanil3503 I live in the US and we do not have the clear Xanthan Gum (strange right?) I found & used the Xanthan that is ideally used for food and my gel turned out great. My problem is finding a preservative and figuring out the measurements. I would not combine Guar with Xanthan Gum -that's me though. Good luck!
The last time I tried to make a xanthan gum hair gel I did it with just water and xanthan and I was soo mad to see white clumps of xanthan all through my hair!! I'm excited to try your recipe and give it another go! Thank you!! 💜
@@millionaire6849 I’ve tried it 5 days ago without preservative and now I got preservatives and hyedeolyzed protein I’ll try it out again with them. The gel is really great actualy and so easy to make it, but after applying on my hair strands it becomes flaky and it didn’t go well with my 2 different leave-in conditioner. I don’t know if I did something wrong or is it just xanthan gum always like this with any leave-ins. I wanna also try this with other gels as well.
@@ceren8574 so I finally made a batch too. I tried it on some strands with very little leave-in and had no flakes at all. I also tried it on some other strands with Mielle's mousse and it worked well with no flakes! Hopefully you will find a combination that works for you.
@@millionaire6849 hey there thank you! I am so glad to hear this! Yesterday I made a new batch also with hydrolyzed protein as well and it turned out awesome! I guess either I used too much for my hair or because of trying with half of the ingredients just to try it out to see it, but thankfully this time as I also followed every single step with the exact amount of ingredients it worked perfectly for me as well which I’m very happy about it!🙏🏻
I Just find this. Flaxseed Gel is actually to heavy for my Thin Hair (I think) and I don't Like the smell. So I would try this Out. And your voice ist soooo calm and nice. Reminds me so much of my sleeping meditations
Any suggestions for making a firm super hold gel? something the consistency of your typical edge control? Also how would oil act in this mix? Have you heard of Ceteryl Alcohol?
Amazing and stunning as usual ... I want to ask u for something...would u please mention alternatives as much as u can because in my country there is a lot of missing items and I don't wanna improvise ... thanks in advance
WholeElise....wow, this was excellent, I have locs and don't use a lot of gel BUT I have to try making this. I wonder if sodium lactate would work if glycerin doesn't work for some...I wonder if aloe vera juice would work instead of water for additional moisture....hhhmmm, time to experiment. The fact that you shared this is awesome.
Hi Elise, hope you are well, I know you have uploaded a video since this one but I was sooo inspired by this one. You mentioned that this can be kept for months instead of weeks; May I ask the shelf life of this gel please? Thank you 🙏🏿 in advance x
I realized after watching your videos I am left more confused in good way thou. Half of the stuff you talk about I have no clue about hence the confusion but your videos are really good.
Another amazing video, you are a life saver. Looking gorgeous as usual and your voice is soo soothing my goodness! Quick question what kind of changes can be done to make a gel that one can use in braiding hair. Like in the salon. Thank yoouu😍😍
Im really liking your channel. The videos you've created are soothing yet informative. Sometimes we want to get creative and not follow recipe. You took the time show what happens when we dont "follow directions" lol. And hunie hunie your website is beautifully created and Unique. You have gained a subscriber. Thank you!!
I love it! I don’t use gel on my hair but I use gum tragacanth or glucomannan (konjac) gel as a moisture hair treatment, I leave it for one hour on my just washed hair and then just rinse with water, it’s amazing!
Girl I just tried this gel can you say🔥this gel define my curls so good I thought I was 🔥lol thanks so much I will definitely stay for more excellent recipes🤩😍
Whole Elise, thank you 🙏🏿 so much for this recipe; it looks great 👍🏾!! As someone with 4c hair, I would not be able to resist adding oils or Shea butter to make a nice custard (with a bit of e-wax), but yeah - winner!! Thank you again and I sooo look forward to your next video 😉❤️ xx
Absolutely! Feel free to customise this as you see fit. I tend to layer my products in the LOC method but having a multi-purpose product is a great idea 😊
My hair is dead straight but I (weirdly) have curly edges and side burns that can be quite hard to tame and a lot of gels just won’t hold them down, would this work for me? Btw I love how you make natural diy products so simple and easy🥰 I’m really into making my own products and channels like yours are my saving grace 🙏🏼❤️God bless xx
I always use flax and Aloe since I have them readily available but I want to try this it would be nice since my hair is notoriously hard to keep moisturized and unfrizzed
After watching a couple of your videos, I have already subscribed. I look forward to trying out some of your recipes so that I can lessen store bought products! :)
Thank you so much for your great help with making gels. You make it seem so easy so following your lead is a pleasure. Although, I have a question. I want to add my Ayurvedic herbal extracts in my gel for their healthy and amazing qualities. I'm thinking of making them into a tea. Strain well and use that as my water base. What do you think? Is there another way that I can do it? Thanks so much in advance.
Cheapest and simplest way to care for hair. Buy okra soak in water for 24 hours then strain out the gel. Add preservative or just freeze into ice cubes. Very cheap cheap multi use product. Can use as a deep treatment leave in or regular conditioner
Really enjoying the DIY videos! With all due to respect, if there is a chance of boosting the equalizer volume before your next upload.. It can difficult to hear you... Much love, and thanks again
I just made this with xanthan gum. And finally I found a DIY gel that works for me. I put a bit on my hair to test it and it is good as is but I am gonna add 1 tbsp conditioner and 1 tbsp oil. I made a batch of about 2cups ( cos I must always be extra y'know😂). Flax seed gel is just too much effort considering I can only make enough for a week. The xanthan gel is no effort and no cooking or messinvolved plus it looks better than flax seed gel on my hair. Next week's batch will have some aloe vera gel added. I have 3b/c curls and this just works fantastically on my hair. Good enough clumping and hold without the wet look. Edit- I have been using it for almost a week now. Everyday I would rnse my hair in the shower and reapply. Today I spritzed with water and just had to reshape here and there. So I wasted time and gel by rinsing it out everyday cos thats what I always did with other gels. This is a game changer.
I absolutely LOVE your channel! I hope you don't mind but I created a list called Lotions with all your videos. I think more people should know about you! I hope it's okay! Much love and health. 💗
Thank you so much for this gel video!! I'm desperately trying to make pain reliefing arnica, st.johns wort and calendula oil, Aloe Vera gels, which arent oily, nor sticky, which can be applied on kids before bed, without staining the bed sheets. xantan gum was working, but I couldent rubb the herbal gel into the skin too long, bec it made skin flakes and a huge mess. i will try with a bit of glycerin again now. thank you soo much for those tips and tricks.🌺🌺🌻🌻🌞🌞💓
This CURL-DEFINING HAIR GEL lasts for months instead of days! Try it here: wholeelise.com/blog/curl-defining-hair-gel/ 💚
Can you use Aloe vera juice to replace the powder?
hi, i really love your recepie but can I use preservative leucidial liquid SF in this recepie?
I tend to disperse my xantham gum in honey. My hair isn't super fond of glycerin.
Hi Elise, how do I reduce flakes in this gel?
Hii I have been trying many of your all have come out well
I just made this gel yesterday, and let me tell you it works soooo much better than flax/aloe gel! Thank you for a great recipe!
Where did you find the hydrolysed wheat protein?
Green beauty sells it on Amazon

Gums have synergy effect. You can combine guar gum and xantham gum for extra "geliness"
This looks amazing! Would it be ok with you if I make a video trying this recipe (giving you full credit and linking to your channel, of course)?
Aww thanks hun, love your channel! Oh that'd be great, once I started making my gel this way there was no going back to boiling flaxseeds 😅💚

Thanks Naja, absolutely! I would dilute it to about 50% aloe Vera Juice and 50% water but it should work just fine 😊

Great tip about mixing with glycerin before adding water. Have you made a hair gel with fruit pectin?
Any suggestions for making a firm super hold gel? something the consistency of your typical edge control? Also how would oil act in this mix? Have you heard of Ceteryl Alcohol?
Try adding sugar and cooking it in a liquid to ensure it’s dissolved. Then blend it all together.
Genius, so brilliant this may be very good for babies and people with scalp conditions. Thank you
Amazing and stunning as usual ... I want to ask u for something...would u please mention alternatives as much as u can because in my country there is a lot of missing items and I don't wanna improvise ... thanks in advance

Bummed because my hair despises glycerin. :/ Looks great for those who don’t have that issue!

Whole Elise, thank you 🙏🏿 so much for this recipe; it looks great 👍🏾!! As someone with 4c hair, I would not be able to resist adding oils or Shea butter to make a nice custard (with a bit of e-wax), but yeah - winner!! Thank you again and I sooo look forward to your next video 😉❤️ xx
Absolutely! Feel free to customise this as you see fit. I tend to layer my products in the LOC method but having a multi-purpose product is a great idea 😊
@@WholeElise Hi! Would you use this gel as the L or the C in the loc method?
Hello I'm 4c, as well so will it not work if I make without oils or Shea butter?
This looks so good but I wonder what the hold is like.
Me too, I'm gonna make and try it
Discovering your channel and i loved this video! So informative, so on point; so relaxing lol New subie. Thank you for sharing
My hair is dead straight but I (weirdly) have curly edges and side burns that can be quite hard to tame and a lot of gels just won’t hold them down, would this work for me? Btw I love how you make natural diy products so simple and easy🥰 I’m really into making my own products and channels like yours are my saving grace 🙏🏼❤️God bless xx
I always use flax and Aloe since I have them readily available but I want to try this it would be nice since my hair is notoriously hard to keep moisturized and unfrizzed
Your videos are so well put together and informative♡ Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Love ur video
After watching a couple of your videos, I have already subscribed. I look forward to trying out some of your recipes so that I can lessen store bought products! :)
I have so much flaxseed, I might just need add the gum to thicken it up a little bit.
@Cakesandrainbows Rainbowsandcakes Thanks for the confirmation. I’m going to try it out😘🥰
does this leave flakes?
Thank you so much for your great help with making gels. You make it seem so easy so following your lead is a pleasure. Although, I have a question. I want to add my Ayurvedic herbal extracts in my gel for their healthy and amazing qualities. I'm thinking of making them into a tea. Strain well and use that as my water base. What do you think? Is there another way that I can do it? Thanks so much in advance.
im in love
im glad i bumped into one of your videos, one more subscriber in the bag

Just discovered this channel. Wow, impressed! Very informative video👌🏾
Can you please DIY Kinky Curly Curling Custard and show us how to use Fruit Pectin? ❤🙏🏽
Hi Elise, can you make a video on homemade hair vitamin gummies please?
Thank you so much Whole Elisa for this great knowledge.
Cheapest and simplest way to care for hair. Buy okra soak in water for 24 hours then strain out the gel. Add preservative or just freeze into ice cubes. Very cheap cheap multi use product. Can use as a deep treatment leave in or regular conditioner
Can you use anything other than glycerin?...My hair does not respond well to glycerin...
Im really glad to find your channel ❤❤
Awesome!!!! Great tutorial very highly informational. Definitely can't be lazy to do this recipe.
Hi love the gel but can you Please do a diy hair wax that gives strong hold for people with deadlock
Really enjoying the DIY videos! With all due to respect, if there is a chance of boosting the equalizer volume before your next upload.. It can difficult to hear you... Much love, and thanks again
Elise you are AMAZING!!! Thank you for this video. I've learned so much from you....God Bless❤️
I just made this with xanthan gum. And finally I found a DIY gel that works for me. I put a bit on my hair to test it and it is good as is but I am gonna add 1 tbsp conditioner and 1 tbsp oil. I made a batch of about 2cups ( cos I must always be extra y'know😂). Flax seed gel is just too much effort considering I can only make enough for a week. The xanthan gel is no effort and no cooking or messinvolved plus it looks better than flax seed gel on my hair. Next week's batch will have some aloe vera gel added. I have 3b/c curls and this just works fantastically on my hair. Good enough clumping and hold without the wet look.
Edit- I have been using it for almost a week now. Everyday I would rnse my hair in the shower and reapply. Today I spritzed with water and just had to reshape here and there. So I wasted time and gel by rinsing it out everyday cos thats what I always did with other gels. This is a game changer.
I absolutely LOVE your channel! I hope you don't mind but I created a list called Lotions with all your videos. I think more people should know about you! I hope it's okay! Much love and health. 💗
Excellent excellent EXCELLENT tutorial and explanations. I have to subscribe
Thank you so much for this gel video!! I'm desperately trying to make pain reliefing arnica, st.johns wort and calendula oil, Aloe Vera gels, which arent oily, nor sticky, which can be applied on kids before bed, without staining the bed sheets. xantan gum was working, but I couldent rubb the herbal gel into the skin too long, bec it made skin flakes and a huge mess. i will try with a bit of glycerin again now. thank you soo much for those tips and tricks.🌺🌺🌻🌻🌞🌞💓
