Conditioner

A DIY flaxseed gel conditioner made by boiling flax seeds in water until they release a thick, slippery mucilage. It conditions and adds definition without any silicones or film-forming polymers — the gel coats the hair shaft naturally. Optional aloe gel boosts moisture and argan oil adds shine; use it on scalp or face as well.

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1/4 cup flax seeds

Instructions

• Boil and stir occasionally
• Once you see the gel, set aside for 45 minutes for it to cool down
• Strain with a cheese cloth
• Optionally add aloe gel and a tiny bit of argan oil

Note: massage it on your scalp or even face.

Storage

Store in the fridge in a sealed bottle. It should last couple of weeks
