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
