Once the flax seeds cools, you can mix it with the aloe vera, to save time and you can keep it in the fridge for whatever you want to use it. Also next time boil the seeds with some cloves. And strain it like normal. The cloves is a extra power house for the hair.
I just made this the correct way. Use 2-1/4 cups water, and 1/4 cup flaxseeds. As soon as the water gets slightly slimmey, remove the pot from the stove and let it cool off for only 10 minutes. The longer you let it cool the thicker the gel will gets and the harder it is to strain. Then strain it into a bowl.
I've been using flaxseed as a gel for many years including on all my children and I can't stress the benefits of this little beautiful seeds. My kids hair wan't stop growing. Its amazing..
Can you share your recipe or how you use it on your children's hair? And what oils you find that works best with this when left in as a leave in conditioner/gel. Please and thank you
@@Curious_gen Hey! Check out this video for the recipe in the description box: ua-cam.com/video/dMd8448Q_dE/v-deo.html Jojoba would probably be good. Thanks!
I realize most persons wait until the seeds cool before straining. However its best once you boil it you can strain it hot. It strains out better tgat way. You just let it cool and it will thinken up. When you boil flaxseed at times it doesn't seem to be thickning up after 15 min to 20 min but after straining hot as mentioned and then cooling it you'll see it. That how i do it works. Too much work to cool it and the try strain. It slips through strainer when hot.
I saw this Flaxseed thing over the weekend and got shocked. Here in Kenya I bought 100g at 0.75 dollars, divided the portion into two and now I have almost 300ml of the gel. I can't wait to try and show this powerful ingredient! Thanks for showing us how to apply it 😍😍😍
I LOVE FLAX GEL!! THAT IS ALL I USE! my curls love this! I also add rosemary from my garden and mint to stimulate my hair follicles. Boil it all together and beautiful curls you will have!!! Wonderful on your skin too!
Hi Jamila. A few tips... Try straining the flakseed gel whilst still hot and you get more gel out of it and less messy. Next tip, you can try applying flakseed gel on your hair next time without any cream first, it still gives you that beautiful shine and obedient curls. Michelle.❤
I love how your hair came out. I guess nature is the way to go. Flaxseed is way better than the regular gel they sell. With Flaxseeds you don’t have to worry about chemicals.

You've now convinced me to buy some flaxseeds and make this gel! Your hair had sooooo much shine and definition😫girl your hair looks bomb💕
Love your curls...it's beautiful and springy. I have loose curls and its sometimes frizzy. Gonna try flaxseed gel recipe shared by you. Thanks much for sharing. ❤
It also works if it's a bit watery. I generally get just enough for one application with 1c of water and 2tbs of flaxseeds. It stinks after awhile so I don't make to much at once 😅
I use 1/4 cup Flaxseed to 2 cups water and get the consistency I want in about 10 minutes. I use a mesh strainer immediately after boiling then let the gel cool in a container that can handle heat.. I have heard of some people buying a strainer that fits over the pot then boil the seeds in the strainer.
Your results are beautiful! I used to do flaxseed gel but I used to apply it to wet hair and so it would get very messy. I have a sensitive scalp and most gel I used causes itching after a couple of days. I think I'm going to try flaxseed gel again using this method
I don’t know much about the gel thingy but I read you can use 1/4 cup of the seeds and 3 cups of water and when it begins to foam, you take it off the stove while it’s watery. After it cools, it gets thick and slimy.
Love this tutorial. I am about to go curly for 3 months straight .no heat I am excited.and I want to get to a place where I only straighten it for part of the winter.with a silk head wrap
Hi, thanks for this vid! I had a similar experience first time I made flaxseed gel in that it came out much darker than I expected from the vids I'd seen previously. Turns out there's 2 types of flaxseeds, brown and golden... guess which ones I'd been using! Also, if you use the golden ones and add hibiscus it's comes out a lovely pink colour, unless you're heavy handed like me, in which case it comes out properly RED...
Wow thanks for sharing this powerful remedy I will definitely try this out ,my hair is still short but I will curl it with flaxseed gel definitely 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You let it cool after few minutes of pouring the flaxseed into the boiling water. Then set it aside to cool. As it cools off, the watery consistency of flaxseed begins to thicken up. Then you pour into a tight sieve or stocking to squeeze out more of the gel.
❤ your transparency I had some of the same issues with getting the flaxseed to make enough. Your hair turned out really elegant. I'm thinking i can rock an up do similar to your slicked down ponytail. Thanks!
You are using too much water. All you need is a cup of water. Once it gets a little slimmy you remove it from the stove and let it sit for 30 minutes to thicken.
GIRLLLLLLL thank you so much for doing a video of your FIRST time preparing & trying flaxseed gel! I have brought all of what I need and am looking forward to my daughter and I going on our hair growth journey 🥰
Actually it's better to boil until slightly thick. It can be poured into a metal strainer easily. Thick is not good as the cooling down process makes it thicker. Strain while hot and it works perfectly. It will continue to thicken In the container. No need to use cloth strainer. What a mess that can be!!!
Another great recipe for flaxseed gel is mixing it with Wetline or EcoStyler gel. You can add whatever oil you wish. Mixing them together makes a nice custard. It gives the best of both worlds between Flaxseed and Wetline. Any gel would probably work too:)
Your hair is so pretty. I would like to try those hair products you were showing but I couldn't make out the name you were saying and the light wouldn't let you see it good. I love anything lemongrass :)
I use to use Eco styler but it kept my hair dry and shedding. I just made mine with cloves been using it for a week and I love it, makes my hair soft and definitely my curls pop. Haven’t tried with wash n go but definitely love it for my buns. Time will tell on my hair growth being that I added the cloves 😉
Pls how long can the flaxed seed last without been refrigerated.does it spoil fast after preparation.how can someone preserve it after preparation for use.
Myesha Ha. When you do a hair style, but wish you can instantly try another. Lol. But honestly, I put my hair in a few twists the day after this style. There’s something about wearing simple twists during this time of quarantine. 🤷🏾♀️
I don’t know if anyone mentioned in the comments yet. I don’t go through the comments. You messed up by over cooking it. It was fine at first before you let it dry and add more water. It normal for it to look watery while is hot, once it cools down it gets to the texture that you need. I love your hair girl 😍
You did very narrating your procedures. I'm just learning about this Flax Seed. I did see the texture of your hair. Didn't appear damaged well kept past 18months or so.

Or boil it in rose water!
@@json9368 You have all the tips! Love it. Thanks :)
Yes cloves does wonders for your hair!
Cloves are a natural preservative so you can store your diys for longer
Sooooooo all these years I have been buying hair gel an I could have boiled flax seeds..omg I love UA-cam...saving me money
😭😂
Yes, girl! I just wish it lasted longer, BUT it is all-natural, healthy, and chemical-free! 🙌🏿
@@jamilania9230 how long did it last?
It last 3 days when stored in the fridge
@@abbymit5126 mine last between fresh hair washing, 7 to 10 days in fridge.

Does it have residues when it dries out like guar gum or xanthan gum?
@@Curious_gen Hey! Check out this video for the recipe in the description box: ua-cam.com/video/dMd8448Q_dE/v-deo.html
Jojoba would probably be good. Thanks!
@@crepusco9821 I remember it leaving a little bit of a residue after a few days, i believe.

Yes this is what I dois so much easier
I made soooooo much of this reboiling the seeds plus i strained it while it was hot it makes it easier
So smart!
Thank you for this tip. ❤
I boil my flaxseeds in the stocking so it’s less messy 💕
Shayla Lue that’s interesting! Never thought about going that. Thanks for sharing!
If it doesn't melt the stocking it's so worth trying!!
How?
This sounds so great. Am gonna try.
Interesting will try boiling it in the stocking thank you :)

Hey gal flax seed ni gani
For those in Kenya, did the flax seed gel work?
Where did you buy the gel? Am in Kenya
@@doreenwanja8066 I saw in Naivas and you can also try jumia
Where did you buy the flax seeds?
The gel is watery when hot but it thickens as it cools....so you don't have to boil it as much....it would've made way more than you had
Thank you
I LOVE FLAX GEL!! THAT IS ALL I USE! my curls love this! I also add rosemary from my garden and mint to stimulate my hair follicles. Boil it all together and beautiful curls you will have!!!
Wonderful on your skin too!
Don't you wash it off?

You can always freeze the gel in an ice cube tray and pop out a cube and defrost overnight as needed. That's the easiest way to preserve flaxseed gel
I use 1/4 cup Flaxseed to 2 cups water and get the consistency I want in about 10 minutes. I use a mesh strainer immediately after boiling then let the gel cool in a container that can handle heat.. I have heard of some people buying a strainer that fits over the pot then boil the seeds in the strainer.
tks Ann Dee. God Bless
Thank you Ann I’m purchasing the flaxseeds now and will be using your formula. I wasn’t quite sure how much water to use.
Your results are beautiful! I used to do flaxseed gel but I used to apply it to wet hair and so it would get very messy. I have a sensitive scalp and most gel I used causes itching after a couple of days. I think I'm going to try flaxseed gel again using this method

The final look is so pretty! 💕
Adesuwa Obaizamomwan Thank you! 🤗💕
The flax seed will thicken naturally after a short boil. And it’s easier to strain on its thinner state. All the best to you - great video.
You’re correct! Thanks!
*The perfect curl definition* 😍
I tried this and it gives me the best definition it’s absolutely way better than the other gels I’ve tried.
After u use the flaxseed, do u wash it?
Meivia Henrietta no I use it as a wash and go.
ቄ
Your hair even before applying is sooo pretty! So much shine

I haven't made any yet but I got some flaxseeds,so, gonna check it out , thanks for your info, you have some beautiful hair too btw

not even 3b more 4b but yea
You are using too much water. All you need is a cup of water. Once it gets a little slimmy you remove it from the stove and let it sit for 30 minutes to thicken.
Did your hair have a white residue on your hair the next day when it was all dry?
Beautiful as usual. Love watching your videos. My hair looks similar. Thanks for sharing
Hey beautiful this style looks lovely on you. I'm gonna have to make some gel to. Do you store it in the fridge how many days does it last.
This is my question 🙋🏽♀️ as well
Thanks a ton! Prayerfully, my daughters-in-law and granddaughters will use this great info. God blessings to you.
Wao i like it and I am going to try it.Thank you my God bless you. You are amazing.
Never heard of this your hair looks beautiful thank you for sharing . Question do need to do this daily? How long did it last?
You are doing it in such a neat way. I did it with too much flax seeds and it is too thick I'll add some water.
Flax seed gel worked awesome on my hair the hold was softer than gel and a small amount of flaxseed went along way.
I love how free it flows !

FLAXSEEDS ARE THE BEST FOR NATURAL HAIR
YES they are are 😍
I think you are my hair twin, My hair is super curly with the same size curls.
Just to confirm, can you leave gell in and then blow hair or does it have to be washed off
It seems its not wash off
Waooh I love it I will go to try it for my self how can I make those flax seed and stay for a long time
Please keep growing your hair...its so beautiful
Your hair is beautiful!!!!!

Haven’t tried with wash n go but definitely love it for my buns. Time will tell on my hair growth being that I added the cloves 😉
How long one batch should last ?
Do u have to use cream or oils when using the gel?
Omg i love it❤ u are beautiful
Your hair came out so beautiful 💛💛💛

Your hair is beautiful ❤️
I actually think that’s how the brand/ type (arrowhead mill) of flaxseed is _dark... I made a video on it during the week and it came out the same
Thanks for sharing this wonderful posting. 100%
Your hair looks great thanks for the video
Pls how long can the flaxed seed last without been refrigerated.does it spoil fast after preparation.how can someone preserve it after preparation for use.
Refrigeration after made and it can last up until two weeks, do not use after two weeks..
Nice video. Can I use this gel on treated hair? Like relaxed hair
🔥 girl you go girl I don't know how to get your products but I like it👄💞☺
So pretty🌷 I just twisted my hair now I want my curls lol
Myesha Ha. When you do a hair style, but wish you can instantly try another. Lol. But honestly, I put my hair in a few twists the day after this style. There’s something about wearing simple twists during this time of quarantine. 🤷🏾♀️
Thanks You Tube University. I’m definitely doing this. All we need is organic staff . 🙏🙏
Stunning
Your facial expressions when applying 🤣🤣🤣 that's my reaction too
You right 😅😅
Waoooooo... Thanks for sharing beautiful lady. Thanks to my sister who made me know about this video
How long do you leave thus on your hair?! N doesn't it dry it out after you wash it out
When you use this how long can u wash your hair! Or you use as gel.
Simply stunning
I just made mines today n yes it didn't thicken up while cooking.. When it cooled it got thick.. I placed in jar n then used.
How long do you keep it in your hair for? Before washing or the gel smelling
It’s not a rinse out treatment, it’s a styling gel. So you until you wash your hair again, whenever that may be.
Where can I find flax seed gel, & the lemon grass oil that u used?
Your hair is beautiful!!
Leslie Arellano Thank you!
Awesome. Why buy gel then when I've got alot of flaxseed in the house
Yes! I just wish it lasted longer.
Can I use aloe vera instead of water?
I don’t know if anyone mentioned in the comments yet. I don’t go through the comments.
You messed up by over cooking it. It was fine at first before you let it dry and add more water. It normal for it to look watery while is hot, once it cools down it gets to the texture that you need.

My hair is not soft its dry. What technique should I use? My hair is dry now can I put the flaxseed on dry hair I want it to stay soft n moisturize for a week or so.
