DIY Flaxseed Hair Gel

The jury is IN. People are LOVING this. I seriously encourage everyone to try it, because even if you decide it's not for you, you've spent less than a dollar to figure that out.

I have a few clients who have been using their own home made flax seed hair gel for a while, and I decided to make a batch at home to see what all of the hype was about. I found this video on youtube, and it's about 5 minutes from start to finish.

1/4 c. whole flax seeds - Hello Omega 3 fatty acids!! Read about the benefits here!
2 cups water
cheesecloth or pantyhose (to strain)
plastic tongs
vitamin e (mild preservative)
a few drops of essential oils of your choice
airtight container

(she mentions that this makes just enough to last her before it goes bad.) Remember, it's TOTALLY FREE of artificial preservatives! Keep it in the fridge! The girl in the video mentions her supply lasts her about 3 weeks.

How To Make Your Own Flaxseed Hair Gel

This whipped up as easily as the video showed. I suggest using pantyhose to strain as the cheesecloth was a little hard to work with.

Yet another reason why I loathe kertatin for curly hair!

Because for MOST types of curly hair, using keratin treatments results in a very confused and damaged looking head of hair. I didn't even do her color - she's just detoxed and hydrated and cut correctly for how she wants to wear her hair.

Post keratin and it turned her hair into dry mush. If that's even a thing. I guess it is, because I see if with keratin victims all of the time. We fixed her all up with Ouidad Cleansing Oil , Curl Qeuncher Condish Moisture Lock leave in, Climate Control Gel and Shine Glaze. Jiggity. The Curl Girl Florida's Curly Hair Expeet

coconut oil treatment & apple cider vinegar rinse for curly hair

I'm a little obsessed with coconut oil right now. I've been using it as a "pre-conditioner" in the salon , I melt anywhere from 2 tablespoons to 1/2 cup of coconut oil (depending on how much i need to really saturate the hair from root to end, then apply it to dry hair. If you do this at home, you can do it hours before you plan to wash it - I sleep with it in my hair and wash it out with Loreal Professional Delicate Color Sulfate Free Shampoo the next morning. If you're a no-poo-er, I suggest using the Ouidad Cleansing Oil instead. You can condition your hair as usual, or, for extra awesomeness, follow with an apple cider vinegar rinse use up to half acv to half water, or try using 2 parts water to 1 part acv. Let that site for at least 2 minutes, RINSE WELL. Be SO careful not to get it in your eyes, it burns like a BITCH . It's not harsh on your hair, though - the acidity of the vinegar is actually very gentle on the cuticle helping to close it...
