Making flaxseed gel for natural hair is a simple and effective DIY process. Here's how you do it:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- 3 heaping tablespoons of flaxseeds
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: Add one cup of water to a pot. Then add three heaping tablespoons of flaxseeds to the same pot.
- Cook the Mixture: Put the pot on the stove. Set the burner to low to medium heat.
- Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer until a gel-like consistency is achieved. Keep a close eye on it as it thickens quickly.
- Strain the Gel: Once the desired consistency is reached, remove the pot from the heat and strain the mixture using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to separate the gel from the seeds.
- Cool and Store: Let the gel cool completely. Store the flaxseed gel in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It typically lasts for 1-2 weeks.
