How To Make Natural Hair Gel

Boiled flax seeds produces a gel that will make your curly or frizzy hair manageable and shiny. Flax seeds also contain antioxidants that will protect your hair from the elements and make it stronger. I have been using this natural gel for a long time now and my hair has become healthier and stronger. This gel will save you a lot of money since only need a small amount of flax seeds to make the gel. You can alter the following recipe to make more or less gel to suit your needs.

1/4 cup Flax Seeds

1 cup Water

Mix the flax seeds and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. After the flax seeds are brought to a boil, turn down heat and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure that all of the seeds are not sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Continue cooking the flax seeds until the gel is the consistency you like. Let it cool awhile and then strain it through cheesecloth or even old pantie hose to remove the seeds. You can add a little essential oil to the gel for scent. Aloe vera gel can also be added for extra moisture. Keep the gel in the refrigerator since there are no preservatives used. It will stay fresh for about a week if kept in the refrigerator.

This gel can be used on dry hair or wet hair. Thoroughly work it through your hair and style as usual. I make and use this frequently!
