I Used Flaxseed Gel on My Hair for 7 Days… The Results Shocked Me!
📝 Step-by-Step Preparation & Application Guide
- Boil the Seeds:
- In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup whole flaxseeds and 2 cups filtered water. 🌾💧
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon.
- Simmer to Gel Consistency:
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Watch closely as a thin, frothy gel begins to form and the liquid develops a snot-like, egg-white consistency. (Turn off heat immediately so it doesn’t get too thick to strain!) ⏲️
- Strain Immediately:
- While the mixture is still hot, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer or a clean stocking/cheesecloth into a glass jar. 🫖
- Carefully squeeze the cloth or press with a spoon to extract all the smooth gel. Discard the leftover seeds.
- Add Nourishing Oils:
- Allow the gel to cool to room temperature.
- Whisk in 1 tsp coconut oil and 3 drops of essential oil if desired for added softness and fragrance. 🥥
- Apply & Style:
- As a Leave-In Styler: Apply a generous amount to clean, damp hair from roots to ends. Smooth or scrunch hair to lock in definition and air dry or diffuse! 💆🏻♀️
- As a Deep Conditioning Mask: Coat dry or damp hair generously, cover with a shower cap for 30 to 45 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and a light shampoo. 🚿
