I made your hair cream and my hair loves it. I changed the formula a bit by adding mango butter and shea butter. Also, I removed the aloe vera . after doing research, i found out that btms 50 does not go well with aloe vera. No flakes and easily melts in my hair. Thank you for sharing.

[@MixedChick1]

I had no problems with bts 50 and aloe vera for years so what do you mean it doesnt go well together? proof?

[@azeezareed5452]

Great video! Just a little feedback, you honestly don’t need to boil flaxseeds long to get a really good thick gel. You only need about 8-10 minutes and it turns out nice and thick when it cools. I like mines thick too. Also strain immediately through a strainer while hot that way you don’t have to use your hands unless you really want some extra.

[@aliciamoore8679]

I do the same with mine.

[@darnlove55]

I think she put a 10 mins time stamp on the screen when she boiled it .. but might not have said it so I was a little off

[@girlbosskollection]

So I used your measurements to make my own curling cream and I just want to say you made life easier for me. Before I would boil fenugreek seeds, sea moss, flaxseeds, hisbiscus flower (for the color), roses and chia seeds. strain everything use my emersion blender to merge everything together with some xanthan gum and my oils. with a preservative, it would like for 2.5 months but i cant wait to see how long this emulsion last.

You loose a lot of gel when using cheesecloth, a strainer is best and it’s alot easier too 😊

[@cbchang6200]

I actually create a Deep Conditioner using the leftover flaxseed after making my flaxseed gel. I use the gel as my detangler by itself. With the leftover flaxseed I put into a blender with aloe vera juice and fenugreek powder and oils. Blend that on high and strain. I use this as my deep conditioner and rinse out.

Yes! I just experimented with these ingredients this past weekend. There is ZERO waste doing it this way and u get the most out of the seeds. Im going to see how my hair grows within the next 30 to 90 days but after just 1 use I'm pretty impressed already. U def need to try if ur looking for a remedy for dry hair.

I do prefer the cream method bc I personally cannot deal with the plain flaxseed after the boil, it reminds me too much of snot. Thanx for showing us there are different ways to actually use flaxseed gel. I had mine sitting in the cabinet bc I just can’t put my hands in it after it boils like that. And I can handle a lot of things but plain flaxseed isn’t one of them. Thx again and very much appreciated ❤

[@carolynmathison4981]

Thank you for sharing positive educational information I really appreciate it ❤

[@trianna2008]

This is a fun product idea- I might try something similar in a few weeks when I take down my crochet braids. For your problems with the final product, I have a few suggestions based on my own experimenting with homemade products: 1. Reducing the amount of flaxseed gel. I think it’s fine to do 1/2 plain water 1/2 flax gel in your water phase, as the mucilage in the gel adheres strongly to hair. Fine when it’s crystal clear but not great when it’s in a very obvious white product. Flax seed extract is one possibility, but seems a bit pricey. A cheaper alternative is to simply soak the seeds in boiling hot water until the water cools, then blend and lightly strain the mixture. Still extracting most of the lovely benefits, but you’ll miss the worst of the film forming. 2. Changing the emulsifier. We all love BTMS for it’s cationic conditioning properties, but its applications are much more limited than the DIY community will originally lead us to believe. I don’t want to get too much into the science of it, but plant mucilage can have a wide range of pH’s though the ones lauded in the natural hair community tend to be alkaline and full of lovely electrolytes like Ca, Mg, K, etc., and a bevy of negative ions to bind these lovely electrolytes. These, when mixed with cationic BTMS, is every high school chemistry teacher’s wet dream and hairstylist’s worst nightmare: precipitating salt. So you can avoid the worst of this by switching to a non ionic emulsifier like Montanov 68 or a Polysorbate, blending like hell, and then testing pH adjusting bit by bit to find the best point when you can maximize preservative efficiency while minimizing flake. It’s also worth looking into getting a preservative with good operating at less acidic/neutral conditions. 3. Like you mentioned, certain co-emulsifiers might work to increase spreadability. Cetyl alcohol is very good, but I find stearyl alcohol works even better to decrease drag. I think it’s also worth looking into changing your main oil to something oilier- an olive or avocado oil or even Shea butter might be a good choice. However, I don’t think your stability is going to be an issue at all with this product as mucilage has some emulsifying properties so it’s essentially acting as its own co-emulsifier. Those are the main useful suggestions that ran through my mind as I watched this video. I’m excited to see where your reformulating takes you!

[@YayaDIYCreations]

This was awesome information and well said. Thank you so much. I will take many of your suggestions and others into consideration when reformulating. I love this learning community! The fact that we can all learn from each other is amazing. Thank you again for sharing. 😊💜

Hi, if I may ask. Why?

[@callyjr3356]

@ahhhhhh6085 It's more foodier and takes less time to cook. You can actually soak it for a period of time and consume it. I soak in a little water flaxseed...chia... almond nuts...pumpkin...hemp seeds. Then I add almond milk nitric oxide vitamin c powder and collagen powder.

Use a soap calculator or an excel spreadsheet to figure out the percentages of each ingredient and you will understand the basic formula and can we experiment from there.
