Want to know how to make DIY flaxseed gel for curly hair? How about how to make flaxseed gel last longer, up to six months to be exact! Not to mention, there will be NO pantyhose involved in the extraction process (your hands will thank you later). There are two easy ways to preserve your flaxseed gel so that you don’t have to make a fresh batch every two weeks. Homemade flaxseed gel has always been the best way for my curly hair to last for a full 5 days without having to rewet or restyle my curls. I prefer to style and set my curls one day and forget it for the rest of the week and DIY flaxseed hair gel helps me to do just that.

Right?! This video is so well-made, and so engaging! I am a nerd who loves science, but I’ve always struggled with chemistry. (After five minutes, I struggle to remain conscious. Doesn’t matter what time of day, what professor. High school, college, whatever. Ended up taking it at community college so I can get the credits I needed.) it is much easier for me to connect to material when I have some idea how I can use the knowledge. I always thought chemistry should be taught as a cooking class, with digressions into things like gardening or DIY beauty products… I also love functional art exhibits. But I digress, I would be so excited to take a lab like you are suggesting. I know your students will love making their own hair gel! The fats in flaxseeds oxidize more rapidly than others.

Yeeeesss finally, how to preserve! Ive been longing for this recipe for so long!!! My trick to seperate gel from seed is to not move it at all, let cool, itll be thock enough to slide off the seeds sitting on the bottom. Also I eat the seeds, you can salt them or sweeten them, put in oven with parshment paper to make a light biscuit

Totally new to making flaxseed gel, so glad you've shared the process, especially the ratios of ingredients and timing! Going straight to the french press as soon as I'm done boiling the mixture works best, allowing it to cool some let it get so thick I couldn't press it. But on my second try I went straight to the press while it was still super hot and thinner and it worked like a charm! Excellent video and instructions and your hair is beautiful!

@@gramnet A few drops of a high-quality extract go a long way, depending on how big your batch is. If you add in ½ to 1 tsp full you should definitely be fine, just make sure you purchase good quality grapefruit kernel extract - when you drop it on your tongue, you want it to be so bitter it takes all you've got to not spit it out. (And yes, it can be taken orally and it's very beneficial for health, great when you feel a cold is coming etc.)

Yes you can, flaxseed gel is a very lightweight gel that is water soluble, doesn't cause build up on the hair and washes out clean when you get to wash day. But feel free to experiment to see what would work well for your hair. Without preservatives it works excellently. I would recommend storing it in the freezer in silicone ice tray as I showed in the video. If you store it in the fridge it will only last 1-2 weeks. Yes, you can add any essential oil of your choice to create a nice aroma to the gel 😊.

This is not the easy method,because when you start extraction the separating part can slightly move and then seeds will mixed up again. The most easy method is to boil,blend with mixer(to get all nutrients and get real white Color), and strain while it super hot. Why would you complicate things when there are more easy ways available. And this type of extractor normally used to have tea,not everyone might have it.

Highly recommend Distilled water b/c it is less likely to have trace metals/minerals and helps decrease probability of bacterial growth compared to tap water.

I'm assuming this would work on wavy hair that is naturally (without anything in hair) 2b/c ?

Flaxseed gel is useful for all hair types. You only need to adjust the amount you use for your hair curl pattern, density & length + a lightweight water-based leave in.

Absolutely! I posted some time ago (now deleted) accidentally stating that I used fenugreek seeds. 😂 Please know I’ve tried ONLY whole flaxseeds, boiled even longer longer than directed in some cases, for thickening, and still noooo gel. Btw: the loose result I have used. And your French press solution is a WINNER. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Any suggestions to achieve GEL are greatly appreciated. ❤❤
