BEST DIY Gel Detangler and Tea| Flaxseed, Marshmallow Root and Hibiscus Tea

[@joybanks4974]

I strain flaxseed gel through a fine metal strainer while still hot. I get all that goodness without having to squeeze and muscle it through a stocking.

[@NowIAmNappy]

Thanks for those tips

[@SheReaDelSol]

The thickness is coming through!!!

[@NowIAmNappy]

Yesss I’m hype sis

[@belindabillingsley1719]

Girl, your hair is out if control! It is GROWING so much! That is my goal, in addition to healthy hair/scalp. Thanks for your tips.

[@sherrithomas9140]

I am so excited about this tea and gel! My hair is thriving finally!

[@NowIAmNappy]

Yess Sherri!! I’m so excited to hear that your hair is thriving

[@bolanleasala5928]

My hair love love love this. I didn't make mine so thick, but it's so soft and moisturized.

[@NaturallyKayD]

I’ve actually been using this tea mixture since you first made it. I’ve used it as the liquid for one of my DIY treatments, I’ve been putting on my scalp, and I’ve even made another mixture where I added in a few additional herbs as well. So I am super excited to be using it again this week.

[@Purplerules94]

Looks like a great gel! I like to use my pitcher strainer while it's still hot so I don't have to squeeze anything. Definitely makes the job easier and less messy. 😁

[@BellaHairCare4u]

That actually work? My gel always got caught through the strainer but maybe it was just too thick

[@Purplerules94]

@@BellaHairCare4u yup! I pour it in the strainer as soon as it comes off the heat. Once it cools, it's too thick for the pitcher strainer and I'd have to use my nut milk bag. If it's too thick coming right off the heat, you may need to use more water.

I'm still in this challenge. ....and my hair is flourishing!

[@tnyce0313]

I have locs in my hair now, I think I will stick to the sprays and oils for now. Your hair is amazing!!!

[@NowIAmNappy]

[@naturally_nica]

Flaxseed gel is the one thing that made me want to have a vacuum pump and bruchner funnel in my kitchen 😂 it's so thick.

[@NowIAmNappy]

Lolol right!!! I was playing in it for a while afterwards, it’s the thickness for me lol

[@hali746]

Hi @nowiamnappy do you use any oil to seal in the moisture afterwards?

[@bolanleasala5928]

Wow!!! Look at the definition. Can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks as always for sharing ur knowledge. ❤

@@NowIAmNappy I do 💃🏽 I’ll be using the chamomile tea bag instead. I can’t wait they both look so yummy!

[@kimberlyviolaraysor1008]

I also strain it through a stainless steel strainer

[@BellaHairCare4u]

I love flax seed gel but I hate all the work. The hold is everything. I make sea moss gel because it’s easier and actually lighter. I love that you try all the things I want to make ☺️ great job btw

[@ijay4400]

I have protein overload whenever I use flaxseed gel. My hair has a straw like feel to it whenever I used flaxseed gel

[@NowIAmNappy]

Ohh I’m sorry to hear that. I’m curious does your hair feel crunchy like a gel cast when it dries or your saying the application process feels like straw

[@6ftNaturalBeauty]

The protein molecules in flax seeds and other foods are too large to penetrate the hair strand, you can not get protein overload from them. Foods can coat the hair and be washed away, it does not bind to the hair strand like a small hydrolyzed proteins which can cause protein overload

[@senzelongema4022]

Hi sister. My diy flaxseed gel defines them curls. But I always end up with these white flakes that look like dandruff on y curls. How do I prevent that from happening? This also happens with the oats gel

[@socautious1]

Where is this challenge information? This is my first time seeing you. Nice hair

[@vanessarenee.butterflyreborn]

So can you put the seamoss and the flaxseeds and marshmallow root together to make the gel. Just thinking out loud.

[@NowIAmNappy]

You definitely can!!!

[@vanessarenee.butterflyreborn]

@@NowIAmNappy have you ever seen it done before. Just wondering about measurements again. 🤔

[@MyEvette]

Hi there Good day... On your DIY Detangler & - tea recipe, U - used the "Flaxseed & - Marshmallow Gel" Mix together, can I - also use this Flaxseed & - Marshmallow Gel Mixture as a - Hair Mask???

[@tomeishasimon5622]

What preservative would you use for both mixtures

[@NowIAmNappy]

You can use optiphen

[@preciselyavri7944]

you refrigerate it too? if so how long do you keep it?

[@justKKB]

Do you have your hair professionally trimmed/cut? Or do you dust on your own?

[@NowIAmNappy]

I trim and cut my hair myself

[@naturally_nica]

😂😂😂 my pookie poo nephew!!!

[@NowIAmNappy]

I knew you would enjoy him

[@abifabi]

Hi, I'm doing the tea challenge. Im looking forward to this one my hair seems to need the moisture. I noticed you used chamomile instead of the candula that was on the calendar. Can you comment do they have the same properties. I only have the candula

[@naturally_nica]

😂😂😂 you better shake it sis 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@NowIAmNappy]

Girl I was feeling it

[@wiser0185]

Question did u wash it out and if u didn't why not??

[@NowIAmNappy]

No I didn’t, I wanted defined and moisturized curls, so I left it on

[@wiser0185]

@@NowIAmNappy Oooh oook but u can wash it tho??

[@vanessarenee.butterflyreborn]

[@shaelott1428]

[@NowIAmNappy]

Yes thanks, you be knowing!! I’ve seen your flaxseed gel, I’m curious what’s the shelf life of the one you sell

[@ulaniewilson]
