Flaxseed Hair Gel With Honey

Flax Capsules(author Rasbak)

Do you have curly, wavy or natural hair? Does your hair need extra nourishment?Well, if you need something that is super cheap, natural, good for your hair, and doesa good job taming and moisturizing your hair, then I have good news for you. Ivediscovered flaxseed hair gel with honey.

Flaxseeds have been around for centuries and have incredible health benefits. Thereason is that they contain omega 3 essential fatty acids. These are the good fats thatare good for the heart. Flaxseeds also are a good source of fiber, protein and a thing

called lignans. Lignans mimic the action of estrogenic hormones in the body, therebyminimizing many of the negative effects of estrogenic hormones in humans.

And lastly, flaxseeds are full of vitamins and minerals vitamin E, folate, vitamin B-6,zinc, copper magnesium and loads of potassium.

As far as honey is concerned, it is excellent for the hair because it contains vitaminsand minerals and it has the ability to draw moisture to the hair.

Flaxseed Hair Gel With Honey

Ingredients:

1/3 cup flaxseeds

2 cups water

1/2 tsp honey

1/2 tsp olive oil or shea butter

10 drops essential oil of your choice, but cirtus ones are more antibacterial (optional)

How You Prepare It

Add the flaxseeds to a pan of water over high heat, stirringoccasionally.Stir continuously and gently when the mixture starts to boil. Reducethe heat when the mixture turns thin and, foamy.When the flaxseeds remain suspended in the mixture instead ofsinking, turn off the heat and drain the mixture through the strainer

into the bowl. (At this point rinse your pot right away because if youtry to clean it later it will be much harder to do.)Add honey and any essential oils such as ylang ylang or lavender, ifyou desire. I used orange blossom oil and it didnt have the frangranceof a strong orange, but a more faint orange citrus, clean frangrance. Ilove it. At this point, add the olive oil or shea butter.Combine everything. Your gel should be about the consistency of thick

egg whites.Pour the mixture into a container. Your gel is now ready to use. Youcan store in the refrigerator to make your mixture last longer, or youcan leave it out and make sure you use it up in about a week or two.Arent you proud of yourself? Congratulations, you just made your ownhair gel and saved money, have a better natural product and you did ityourself.

Helpful Hint: I did not use whole flaxseeds, but I used the ones that had been milledand it worked just fine. Just make sure to strain it with something like old pantyhoseor something similar to ensure all the particles are strained and not swimming aroundin your wonderful gel.

How To Use Flaxseed Gel

Before we begin, let me mention that your gel will not be the typical consistency ofmanufactured gels. Yours will be sort of slimy. Now dont get grossed out by thisconsistency. It may be slimy, but it will work miracles for your hair.

Okay, now that we have that out of the way, you can apply the gel to your hair bysmoothing or scrunching it with your hands. Make sure you use enough of theflaxseed gel. If you dont your hair wont be as nice. So dont be stingy.

After you have applied the gel, let your hair air dry. You can even apply the gel, braidthe hair loosely, then let it dry. Unbraid your hair and it will be wavy, full and shiny.It will feel soft, conditioned, and your curls will be super defined with no stickiness orflaking. Experiment with it until you get it just right for your hair type and style. Youwill definitely love it and wonder where it has been all your life.

Thanks,

Ive been thinking of trying FSG , and ran across your blog in the process ofresearching it. I use the LOC method to keep my hair moisturized when stylingand Im wondering is this going to replace a product in my regimen or should I

just use in conjunction with the usual things I do when styling my hair?

Reply

Bev October 24, 2012 at 1:15 am

Hi Syrene: Its best to experiment to see what works best for your particularhair type. Since the hair gel is very moisturizing, why not try it in place ofyour conditioner to see how it does.

My daughter used flaxseed gel approximately 20 years ago when she was incollege. She had a patch of hair that came out while using perms. She stoppedusing perms and just used FSG to gel her hair down. She did use a hooded hairdryer and it was very beautiful. We found the recipe in and old beauty book.

Thanks for sharing your recipe. My question: Do you think agave can be usedinstead of honey? (Im vegan)

Reply

Bev December 2, 2012 at 11:11 pm

Lori: Just omit the honey. Many recipes for flaxseed gel does not use honey,so its alright. The honey just adds more moisturization and conditioning,but youll get excellent results just the same.

Hi, Im definitely going to try this one as Ive been looking for an alternative tomy usual stiffy string gel for quite a time.Id like to mention that Im a male and I always style my hair short and spiky ,nothing fancy , will this stuff be strong enough to hold a fringe and spikesupright for a whole night of clubbing ?.Your blog is great

Reply

Bev December 27, 2012 at 6:40 pm

Hi Alex: It depends on your hair type as to whether it will hold up for awhole night of clubbing. But, give it a try. You may want to omit the honeybecause while honey is excellent and will soften the hair, it may preventyour hair from spiking the whole night. I think youre going to love it,

though.

Please let me know how you like it.

Thanks so much for this Bev! Ive been using it for several months now and amSO glad to have given up commercial hair gels. This is cheaper, you can reusethe same container over and over, and its absolutely safer as there are nochemicals that none of us can pronounce! It works as well on my hair as the old

store-bought gels I used to use.

Hi,

What is the procedure to use this gel? Apply and then rinse , or apply and comb?I dont want curly hair , I like my straight hair , so if I just apply and comb willthat make my hair gradually curly which I dont like?Please let me know.

Many Thanks,

Sampada

Bev March 18, 2013 at 1:33 am

Sampada: This hair gel is very nourishing, so you can indeed use it on yourhair and let it dry overnight and then wash it the next day for nicelyconditioned, soft hair. But, most people who experience the best result with

the hair gel left in are people with curly or wavy hair because this gel helpsto define their hair. If you want very straight hair, then leaving the gel inmight not be good for your hair. But, if you want, why not experiment with itto see how it works for your hair type.

Thank you for this great recipe. Ive been using this gel for about two weeks now,and I LOVE it! I find that the crunchiness is similar to a traditional gel. Youdont need to use more of this product simply because its natural or homemade.I have type 3a curly hair, and I apply the gel to my dripping wet hair straight outof the shower. Then I scrunch my hair gently with an old t-shirt to get out theexcess moisture and gel. I let my hair air dry, and I try to leave it as undisturbedas possible which its drying. My curls come out defined, bouncy, and shiny. Ikeep the gel in the refrigerator to prolong its shelf life.

I just made what is about my 4th batch today. This time I added a capsule ofvitamin E, a decent squirt of honey, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a pinchof sea salt. The E, lemon juice, and salt not only bring the gel to a nice healthyPh of about 4.6, they also are antioxidants that make it last longer and theBODY I got with this batch was AMAZING!

Dear Charlotte: Thanks so much for sharing your experience and also youringredients for an amazing product!

I just love making my ownproducts it fun, you know exactly whats in it and it is less expensive..
