Flaxseed gel grows your hair and very healthy. Use it with aloe vera juice and Castor oil to moisturize and for rapid hair growth.

[@MaryMaxinex333]

Flaxseed gel lays my hair better than any other gel! I was really shooketh. Like the hold is unreal. I love how thick it is and how it lays my hair. I put jojoba oil, honey and glycerin in mine cause it gives my hair shine! Your bun came out so cute 😍💛.

[@tanasia8719]

Maxine Jay that sounds like a good combination

[@SweetKandy1993]

How did you add the honey and jojoba oil into the gel?

[@MaryMaxinex333]

Kandice Harris I boil the flaxseed with honey. I add the jojoba oil and glycerin after the gel is extracted from the flaxseed. This lasts about 3 weeks for me. I always sniff it to see if it has gone bad

Hi I've been given side effects from using shampoo and conditioner i.e headaches. I've been exploring alternatives to shampoos and conditioners, I'm just curious what do you use to wash and moisturize your hair other than aloe vera and Shea butter?

[@nasriinmohamed7865]

TaShar16 you could try apple cider vinegar mixed with water to cleanse but I recommend you do your research. This KZbinr called indigenous strands uses all natural products and has thigh length type 4 hair

@@nasriinmohamed7865 thank you for responding. I've been using Aztec healing clay mixed with vinegar the cleanse recently. So far so good. I'm more so looking for a conditioner or moisturizer now to keep my hair soft. the clay has my hair feeling soft for about 2 to 3 days. but I need something to moisturize it after that without having to repeat the cleansing process. I've been researching and I'm thinking about trying Rosemary water diy... Since I've learned it is pH balance.

Not only does it have amazing hold but it’s actually moisturizing and promotes healthy hair growth which isn’t a benefit from literally any other gel

[@PixelPaperDesigns]

Flaxseed gel n aloe vera gel is the healthiest alternative. Most uv us been using eco goin on 10 yrs only to find out yesterday is dangerous 😟. But we still here alive n well. We shud b more worried bout the food we eat. But to each is own. My eco stays. It haven't caused me harm. B ur own judgement. Don't follow the trend.

[@buttercup13000]

plush furr I’m glad you said this. I’ve been saying this since they came to the conclusion that eco was “bad”

[@thriveflourishmotivate]

You actually don’t know if the Eco has caused you any harm or not unless you’ve had tests done? Either way it’s your life, so if that’s on you. If others choose to not use Eco it’s not just to “follow the trend”, but people actually really want to care for their health in any way possible. People “follow the trend” all the time, so how is this trend any different considering it’s basically harmless? Like if you want to use Eco make sure you start saving up for your possible cancer treatments as well.

[@omegatree7635]

plush furr That was debunked so🤷🏽

[@prettiilexii672]

plush furr That's exactly what I was about to post. It's only being cancelled because one of the ingredients is in the Type 3(unknown carcinogen). All of the scare is for nothing! We use and eat food and products with chemicals that scientists don't and do know about everyday. It's your choice.🙂

i wish i knew that before lol good to know!!!

[@OnlyOneJess]

okay!?? lol

[@norrieb8250]

Updated; 7/18/2019 I’ve been using it now almost or about a month and I absolutely love it!!! It has helped my hair by drastically reducing hair fall. (Postpartum hair fall btw) I noticed hair growth as well. Really recommend it. I say instead of letting it sit to cool off you should just strain it right away with a strainer covered with muslim cloth or a cut opened tight. Definitely saved me ALOT of time and awkward squishing.

[@LisaMichelleyt]

I use flax see gel just about every week I wash my hair. I usually only use it for twist/braid outs or roller sets. It makes my hair super soft and not frizzy. Plus its cheap. But you can also make it using aloe water instead of regular water, just for extra moisturizing benefits. Try it sometime! You just gotta keep it in the fridge. I keep it for about 2 weeks. And I buy cheap pump bottles from the dollar store to me it easier to use.

[@ChanaBee1]

New subscriber... My daughter told me how to make the gel & I messed up by not boiling it long enough, I threw it away after refrigerating and forgetting about it. She did say keep it in the fridge. I will make a big batch & freeze some in ice cube trays, so I can thaw & use small amounts as needed. Thanks, I like the results it turned out really pretty!

[@OnlyOneJess]

Thank you love! i've also heard about the ice cube freezing, i want to try that too!

[@nakeasimone13]

I stopped using ECO 6 yrs ago when long time you tuber Nap85 shared her flaxseed gel recipe. I been following her for years she would give you exact measurements and how to make flaxseed gel. She will also show you how you can put you essential oils in there to preserve the gel because it will go bad after a week or so

[@chalseywilder937]

You can boil it a bit longer to make it thicker, should have more hold

[@sabrinagoddess_]

Chalsey Wilder to make it thicker, should you boil it for 30 minutes instead of 20 like she did?

[@minusthewhitney]

There's loads of videos of people making flax seed gel so I was hesitant to watch yours...but, I really like that you actually showed us how it works! Thank you! I'm excited that it can wash and go/ sleek ponytail. Those are two styles I haven't tried because I don't use gel so it's nice to know that it works well!

[@OnlyOneJess]

thanks so much!!!

[@kit2418100]

I love flaxseed gel! Its super healthy and beneficial for your hair in so many ways. I have modified mine only because just basic gel gives such an intense hold I found it to be too much for me so I add rosehips to the water when making the gel then once its done and in my container I will add olive oil and sweet almond oil which def gives it that eco styler feel and scent then I will add 6drops of peppermint oil and 6drops of rosemary oil mix it together in container and its ready to use! It will make those curls pop with definition and your hair will be soft and smell so good! Try it out :) I keep mine in the fridge and it keeps very well without preservatives.

[@tron-j6875]

Yes I do use flax seed gel myself, and without preservatives it last up to two weeks in the fridge alone. Flex seed gel will spoil if not put into the fridge. I do not recommend making a lot at one do to time frame and how much it will be used.

[@arrynwilliams2842]

You don’t have to cook the flax seeds for that long, cook for a bout five to ten minutes, and remove from the seeds as soon as possible. The gel will thicken when cool.

[@nat2000]

How many drops each do u put?

[@MadlyinLovewithJesus-1953]

You have a darling personality! I did some research on preservatives, and rosemary extract or rosemary oil is not only famous for being good for hair but also as a preservative (which is even used for meat). Either way you must put it in the fridge, but with the rosemary my guess is that it might last considerably longer. Also, my guess is that for slicking down the hair the answer would be to make the gel thicker -- and use maybe double the amount flax seeds. Just a guess though! (I'm trying the flax gel on my old dried out white girl bushy hair that USED TO be wavy-curly. Not sure about the results yet. Also used my homemade shampoo for the first time, so I'm going to give it a couple washes before I decide if it works for me! It's just now drying and I'm going to go comb it out now....)

[@keelansteele8138]

I make this gel regularly. 2 cups of water and 1/4th of a cup of seeds is perfect imo. It'll be a snotty consistency but putting it in the fridge will make it thicken. Adding 4 drops of an essential oil (i use peppermint oil. Its fragrant, keeps insects away, prevents/soothes itching and stimulates the scalp promoting hairgrowth) will make the gel last longer before it spoils (keep it refrigerated, because of how much water is contained in the gel, it can accumulate mold). The gel lasts 2 weeks. 3 weeks with the essential oils.

[@OnlyOneJess]

ooouuu great ideas! thanks love!

[@EBL1SS]

Vitamin E, Grapeseed Extract, the Refrigerator will slow down the the process of it going rancid but doesn't stop bacteria etc in a water based product. Also, the amount (IU) matters. I've used neem, rosemary, tea tree as well but mostly just make small batches that last no more than 7 days or freeze large batches in ice cube trays and thaw in a squeeze bottle when I need it. I hear there are natural presvatives you can order like Optiphen Plus. I'm no expert so... Happy Researching and Money Saving 👍🏾

Hey Jess. So I read that the Pink Eco (curl & wave) and the Blue Eco (sport) ingredients do not contain the specific concerning elements that were pointed out in AlopeciaFreeWithJess & Bri Hall's videos. I have not done my own research on this but I wanted to share as another alternative for those who don't necessarily want to move away from Eco but are being more cautious. As for the DIY Flaxseed Gel, I followed Naptual85's recipe years ago and added a bit of shea butter and honey. I also keep it in the fridge. It does not give me the lasting hold that I need to sustain a wash-n-go for 1 week with my workouts and sweat. I do like it for a simple 2 to 3 day (max) hair style but that is just my experience and my preference.

[@OnlyOneJess]

Thank you love! and yes i did notice that the hold does not last long as eco at all lol

Just a lil Tipp from me. I make flaxseed gel too. But u can reuse the "old", flaxseeds until 2-3 times. They won't make a thick gel like before, but if u let them boil longer and u put just a lil bit fresh flaxseeds with the old ones then u will have ur gel. U can freeze the old flaxseeds in the meantime

[@karen.n4]

Freezing it can help to preserve it and I’ve heard that lemon is a natural preservative

[@khariscadogan7619]

Karen .N pure lemon or the essential oil you talking about

Karen .N the gel doesn't freeze at all?

Keirsten The Party's Here vitamin e only prevents oil going rancid. This isn't an oil and lemon juice won't be sufficient for a mixture like this (or any really)

[@michellewise9152]

I made some flaxseed gel and split it into two containers. I added a few drops of tea tree oil in one container and the other container I added peppermint oil. They both lasted 2+ weeks in the fridge! The first time I made the gel without adding a preservative and I left out at room temp and within 2 days it was rancid / stinky!

[@karatediamond8107]

I've been using flaxseed gel since I've been natural for about 4 years now. It is great for defining curls in a wash and go, I use it for twist outs and braid outs, but I don't generally use it to do slick back looks because I have serious fly aways, and flax seed gel doesn't help me with that issue long term so through out the day my hair looks frizzy, but some people may not have as many fly aways as me. I preserve it with some peppermint oil and I leave it in the refrigerator. I generally can get away with two weeks of my flax seed gel before it starts to smell a bit sour. Although I would recommend putting it in a container that's a little easier to use when you're doing your hair like a cleaned out conditioner bottle.

[@OnlyOneJess]

[@louisejohnson3433]

I will try this most definitely

[@mya3233]

she’s so pretty 😍😍😍

[@shaebuttastyles1106]

[@OnlyOneJess]

[@shaebuttastyles1106]

OnlyOneJess no I haven't tried it yet. Heard bout it, but obviously this was bangin on your hair. My edges are hard to lay too but I'm gonna try it

[@pamelarodriguez5217]

I'm definitely gonna try this with my daughter!! Shes one and I'm so hesitant to use any products on her hair and has extremely curly hair! So definitely can't wait!!!

[@danielafagon5961]

Yessss 😍😍😍 I might have to try this

[@OnlyOneJess]

[@kstjohn-vi4ke]

Your hair is so beautiful when you brush it out!!

[@justtoya6579]

Yes i love making it! 💖

[@mentionedbymarli]

It's the best! I used it yesterday on my wash and go!! The only con is that it only last in fridge for 2 wks, but no biggie!

[@OnlyOneJess]

ah im so excited to use it for a wash and go!

[@sapphirejohnson2644]

Jess i have not tried flaxseed gel before u just put me on girl..😊😁..i think it does work ok as far as if u want to use it for an out n about hairtyle..., like if u had to run to the store but using flaxseed gel for a hairstyle going out to the club or concert to turn up where u going to be sweating i dont think it has that much of a hold as regular gel especially eco styler but it did slay your low bun doe girl.....Cant wait to see how it make your wash n go turnout babes....😊!!#FlaxseedGelWillDo

[@OnlyOneJess]

haha yea i can definitely agree with this.

[@thatlovelydancerIlao]

I used my diy flaxseed using the grounded flaxseed and it didn't even finish cooling and got my curls Poppin. I feel you sis. Like woah🤗🤗

[@Mickeii617]

I personally prefer flaxseed gel before this whole Eco Styler band thing came around I couldn't use it. I'm talking YEARS. Like the results that everybody talked about never got them. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@OnlyOneJess]

how well did it hold for you?

[@Mickeii617]

I never knew that was how you make the Sleek low buns since I've been natural I've never tried to do it. (4yrs) very CUTE 💕💕💕

[@OnlyOneJess]

thank you babessss!!

[@KellyJelly9976]

I Have made and used flaxseed gel a couple times (naptural85's recipe) and every time it tangles my hair so badly and the hold isn't longer than 2 days. I've only ever used it in a wash n go and not for a ponytail.

[@alex1462]

KellyJelly9976 try adding marshmellow root. It makes the gel more slippery and adds hold

[@KellyJelly9976]

thanks for the suggestion

[@OnlyOneJess]

it didnt tangle my hair but yea i did have to reapply some gel after day two, but it wasnt so bad for me =)

[@denesesummers9079]

So I've been using flax seed gel for. Some time now and kinda expending with it and I've got a tip or to . when u use the flax seed gel just like that it leaves your crunchy . so what I find that works best at least for me is I make it a bit lest gooie and I add aloe , vitamin E oil , Jamaica . castor oil to it and use for my wash and go and its perfect and u must keep it regenerated or it will go bad , to get rid if the stiff u must moisturize your hair before add all the oils u prefer and then add the flax seed mixture . when I use it in my wash and go the curls last me for 2 weeks and they still pop then too. Best thing ever . I ask I do I mixture of raw shae butter ,organic. Coconut oil , olive oil along with the flax seed gel and I find for me the to go together like peanut butter and jelly . best thing i ever used in my hair .

[@GDaEssence]

Dang girl!! The shine was blinding!! 😎 lol!

[@OnlyOneJess]

lol thank you love!

[@meshaboo6920]

What edge control do you use? Also your hair is just wow I'm starting the natural life and your videos have really helped me with my hair🙌🏾😩

[@ionavinson8547]

Super cute Jess! So I know Eco cancelled what about other gels?? You used Aunt Jackie's flaxseed gel before they, got the bad stuff too?? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️. So I tried the texture ID (BTW, like the leave in) but I had to use a gel...but got the crunch not as bad tho. I wonder if you use the flaxseed gel over the texture ID would you get bomb results...lol 🤔🤔. Well as always thanks for sharing. Maybe an homemade Aloe gel next???? 😏😏

[@gracecreamx]

Eyeona Binson I tried the Aunt Jackie’s gel and it broke me out😭 Never again

[@bomm3189]

aunt Jackie’s flackseed had some of he same concerning ingredients. I threw mine out. Home made flaxseed gel worked better anyway.

[@OnlyOneJess]

i used aunt jackies before but it wasnt as good as the eco so i never used it again lol

[@ionavinson8547]

glamberries O No!!! Sorry to hear that. I use it and it works nothing special. I am trying to get aways from gel for my wash n gos.. bc it's cute the first and may e even second day but I can't take the crunch and my roots take for ever to dry and poof up... smh

[@Chin715]

I had a worse allergic reaction to Aunt Jackies than Eco and Wetline. They all have at least one of the two problematic ingredients. I think there are more than two, but I only react to two.

[@crumblesfadays]

GIRL YOU ARE STUNNING ❤

[@kimessex3678]

Love your channel thank you for the information it can last for a month in the refrigerator

[@jazzdriver6364]

😍The looks you make are hilarious. ...loove!! Flaxseeds give great shine and moisture. ..eco has always been the only thing that's worked to truly lay my edges but i may give this a retry

[@OnlyOneJess]

loll thank you babes, i dont think iver ever had a gel that actualy laid my edges for more than 2 minutes lol i always have to use an edge control.

[@jazzdriver6364]

OnlyOneJess omg all edge controls I've tried so far are just too soft a hold for how I like my edges slicked back but I recently heard of one by ebin new york that i'm considering giving a try...have to see how that goes😯! Haven't had luck with others in the past but i'm open to trying

ah thank you boo!!!

[@HerbalHarmony_1]

Look good sis ! I really like the flax.

[@JM-qg9bo]

I made a leave in flaxseed conditioner on 7/4 and I like it. Not thick as the gel, but it's not supposed to be. I spray it on my hair every few days. I added some oils to preserve and putting it in the refrigerator helps extend the life a few weeks. I will also say you can reuse the seeds a few times as well to make more.

[@MorenikeKokumo]

recipes please on this conditioner

[@erikablack6761]

@@MorenikeKokumo RIGHT!?

[@erikablack6761]

How did you make it into a spray-like consistency? What spray bottle did you use?

[@MorenikeKokumo]

@@erikablack6761since she didn't reply, I gave it much thought and said easy. I made my flaxseed , added that in my mist bottle with my favorite oils and aloe vera juice. I shake it up before spraying and twistmy vhf hair. I just keep adding water if I put too much gel so I dont harden my hair. That is all. 😁

[@erikablack6761]

@@MorenikeKokumo thank you so much makes since & my hair LOVES aloe vera juice 😍 I'm tryin this ASAP lol

[@MusicalChef_94]

Adding oils that your hair loves will add further nutrients and moisture benefits. You just add them and stir well before using your gel. Getting some tongs helps strain the seeds better and gets you more gel outta the process.

[@OnlyOneJess]

thank you love!!

[@kinkyyogi]

I tried this and i love it😍😍never using eco again..flaxseeds are so cheap too!

[@ssandiaa]

Noel Elizabeth to be honest eco and flaxseeds are both around the same price. Either is fine and work the same way

[@PhoenixEchoesAudio]

@@ssandiaa but one is natural and the other laden with preservatives and potentially harmful chemicals!
