I never saw anyone slow cook or “simmer” their flax gel on low heat before!! That’s amazing! I could never tell when mine was done, but your way looks so much easier! And can I also say that I simply love how you are taking it back to the golden age of KZbin, when not everyone was a product pusher, or click baiting for likes and subscribes and reminding me in every single video to click that damn notification bell. This is so authentic and what you are doing with your hair is so simple, yet edifying. I don’t feel like I’m watching some glamorized “channel”, but a real person who is opening up their home and way of life to me so I can LEARN something. Thanks sis!!😘

J C that's really sweet of you I really appreciate it funny you say that because I also look at other videos and other girls on KZbin and I be like damn why can't I just be more glamorous or be more this I'll be more of that and I really realize that it's just not in my nature I'm not one of those people who wears makeup everyday or feels like I have to do my hair in a different style everyday I just like to keep things really simple because to me that's what life is about it's about keeping certain things simple so you don't have to constantly live a life where you feel like you have to constantly live up to these unrealistic expectations I guess but you know sometimes I have my days. I just recently got offered a opportunity to work with the company and test their products out for reviews and I have to turn them down so I'm like nah that's not what my channel is about homie lol

I love you sister!!! Let me start by telling you how much you have changed my life by sharing your wisdom. I developed an allergy to hair gels, hair dyes and started to get eczema throughout my edges in the past two years. My hair became super dry, brittle and throw in the itchy scalp to go along with the allergy obstacles. Lord, I didn’t know what to do anymore. My go to style was a bun and the daily struggle was epic. Now that I completed my flaxseed gel following your instructions on Monday, my hair game has changed. I am delighted to report that the experience this week has been wonderful. I moisturized mid week and used your recipe to style. Now Im ready to tackle this dryness, and grow out my hair. I used twists throughout the week using a home made hair oil. I will continue to use this gel in my hair, just made my second batch!! I have thrown out my synthetic hair products. I will not suffer needlessly anymore. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Please share your growth oil recipe with us 💋😻😻

Zo L you can wrap your twist at night with yarn or bands to stretch them. I usually grab my bangs into a ponytail and wrap them so that they can hang long.

I like how you simplified how to make the jail, just two ingredients and not adding any oils. I wonder if you know, I take flax seeds in smoothies and I want to make the flaxseed gel but at the same time I believe that I might be protein sensitive and I was alarmed to hear recently that flaxseed gel or flax seeds and aloe vera juice are proteins and I wonder if they are the kinds of proteins that makes my hair dry brittle with the snap crackle pop. I have sprayed aloe vera juice mixed with water on my hair because I also heard on KZbin is very moisturizing, so how can it be both? if you know I would be interested in your Insight or if anyone else wants to respond who knows I would be grateful. Thank you.
@Kindred046 жыл бұрын
Sable 711 - Hi Sable! I'm not as knowledgeable as the young lady in the video, but just wanted to share my thoughts on your comment since I'm also protein sensitive. I've never tried flaxseed gel so I can't speak on that, but I can tell you that my hair does not like aloe vera at all. I tried it years ago because, like you, I heard that it was very moisturizing but it made my hair feel hard and dry. Now, I've never tried aloe vera juice mixed with water simply because I was scared to try aloe vera anything after my previous experience. You mentioned that you have sprayed your hair with the aloe vera juice and water mixture. How did your hair respond to it? If you didn't have an adverse reaction then I would say it's worth giving it another try if you haven't already. I think everybody's hair responds to products differently, that's why some will say aloe vera moisturized their hair while others say it dried their hair out. Also, aloe doesn't have very strong proteins like wheat protein or keratin, and it also contains some essential fatty acids, so some people may be able to tolerate aloe better than they would a stronger protein alone.
@sable71146 жыл бұрын
TheLotusFlower I'm amazed that you could understand my comment at all as I look back, really jail for gel. My phone needs a hearing aid. the aloe vera juice mix with the water does not provide any moisture. I'm definitely not reaching for it when I want to wet and detangle my hair. so I am not experiencing moisturization as others have. so now I've got to figure out what to do with that huge jug of aloe vera juice. I think I can drink it? Or maybe put it on my skin. I was curious about trying glycerin as well and I heard that it was also a protein! is there anything we can use? maybe I just need to dilute it more. I certainly appreciate your responding to my comment and trying to help, good to know it's not just me and I'm glad you found out early on that your hair doesn't react positively to aloe vera. anyway, I hope you're having a good day.

You're honestly the first person I've ever seen who's let it simmer instead of bringing it to a boil and finishing the process faster... I'm starting to wonder if cooking it on a higher temperature still has the same benefits as the slow and steady way that you do it... I'm gonna have to try it this way next time for sure!
@IndigenousStrandz116 жыл бұрын
Julia Pettis when it comes to herbs and roots and seeds and things of that nature you really want to make sure that you are either infusing very slowly because if you do it too fast you're not getting all the medicinal property and if you do it at such a high temperature and faster than your cutting a lot of the benefits but you just have to know what herbs what routes and what seeds at the better at a higher temperature and a lower temperature the majority of them works better at a lower temperature
@SimplyJuliaLauren6 жыл бұрын
I never thought of it that way... Thank you for your wisdom! I'll be sure to use a lower temperature from now on! :D

Well, i tried to make the gel today but nothing was happening. I had some flexseeds in a glass container. When i found the packiging i realized that the flexseeds are over one year out of date. The water has a slippery consistency but it’s no gel. I’m so sad right now. I need to buy some new seeds 🥴

I really enjoy your videos, the knowledge you share about health and wellness period. I just started my healthy hair journey after cutting my locs, i got tired of depending on 'Loctitians"and others to do my hair and teach me about proper hair care. I am taking ownership and control now. I really enjoy your energy, How can I email you ?

Hey Pretty lady. Its not uncommon to develop carpel tunnel syndrome when dealing with so much hair. I'm a braider and I need to take months off sometimes to give my hands a break. You can try alternating between ice baths and heat for your hands

I just started wearing my hair in twist since the quarantine was ordered. However, I've fell in love with my twist and can't wait til I have to go grocery shopping again to get some flax seeds to make this gel. Thank you so much for sharing. And oh yeah, I'll also be at Walmart looking for the castor oil you use from the laxative section (?), especially seeing it's inexpensive. ❤

T $blue I make just enough for about a month I've never experienced it going bad but if you smell it and it has a certain smell to it then you should not probably use it but then again don't make so much to where you're not using it all within a certain time and yes I keep it in the refrigerator

Greetings queen, thankh yah for sharing your experience and hair care regimen. I never could get into doing "a lot" to take care of my hair but I've always desired to be healthy so this feels so right. Have you heard of th women in Chad who use an herbal mixture and braids to keep their hair healthy and to their thighs? I recently came across th video about their traditional hair care routine and that's what lead me to your videos. Although I'm sure that th herbs they use are beneficial to their hair, I realize that th constant between your method and theirs is th proper balance of maintenance. not doing too much (washing, deep conditioning, switching up styles, etc) and doing enough (keeping et moisturized and covered up in a protective style). I plan to twist my hair up today and start this regimen for myself! Now I do have a question: Do you ever get so active that your scalp starts to sweat and if so how do you go about cleaning it? I know if I've been super active I'll start to sweat through my scalp. I'm thinking maybe just wiping my scalp and roots down with a damp cloth and something like tea tree should do th job for me... but I'm just wondering if you ever experience that. Again I really appreciate you sharing, I'm very excited to revive my hair! 13love
