In this video I'm testing DIY flaxseed gel on my natural hair for the first time. This flaxseed gel is very easy to make. I show how to make flaxseed gel in this video as well. I will definitely try flaxseed gel again on a wash and go. Enjoy!

Once the flax seeds cools, you can mix it with the aloe vera, to save time and you can keep it in the fridge for whatever you want to use it. Also next time boil the seeds with some cloves. And strain it like normal. The cloves is a extra power house for the hair.

I realize most persons wait until the seeds cool before straining. However its best once you boil it you can strain it hot. It strains out better tgat way. You just let it cool and it will thinken up. When you boil flaxseed at times it doesn't seem to be thickning up after 15 min to 20 min but after straining hot as mentioned and then cooling it you'll see it. That how i do it works. Too much work to cool it and the try strain. It slips through strainer when hot.

I have heard of some people buying a strainer that fits over the pot then boil the seeds in the strainer.

Hi, thanks for this vid! I had a similar experience first time I made flaxseed gel in that it came out much darker than I expected from the vids I'd seen previously. Turns out there's 2 types of flaxseeds, brown and golden... guess which ones I'd been using! Also, if you use the golden ones and add hibiscus it's comes out a lovely pink colour, unless you're heavy handed like me, in which case it comes out properly RED...

You let it cool after few minutes of pouring the flaxseed into the boiling water. Then set it aside to cool. As it cools off, the watery consistency of flaxseed begins to thicken up. Then you pour into a tight sieve or stocking to squeeze out more of the gel.

I don’t know if anyone mentioned in the comments yet. I don’t go through the comments. You messed up by over cooking it. It was fine at first before you let it dry and add more water. It normal for it to look watery while is hot, once it cools down it gets to the texture that you need. I love your hair girl 😍
