Hi sis, I'm Jamaican and we have been using Irish moss since I was young. I still use it actually, it's a staple for Jamaicans. If you see the way I look at the age of 65 you wouldn't believe it. I look 40ish. Part of that is because I drink it often. Apart from using this awesome herb, God keeps me in a peaceful place.

This is one of the best, simplest videos on hair sea moss gel. I have gone through the mid-life, rights of passage. The change in hormones caused my hair to shed and thin out so much until I made my own herbal products. I made clove and cinnamon water to stimulate growth (I’ll try oil next time). Rose and lavender buds water with aloe vera juice stopped the hair shed INSTANTLY and made my 4c hair pop. I think this gel is going to complete my new regimen. Here’s to healthy hair 🥂

I've made homemade flaxseed gel many times before. It is messier than this, because you wind up squeezing the gel out through a knee-high. But it definitely did work. I found out the hard way that making flaxseed gel is simple in terms of just flax seeds and water... But if you want to add something like hibiscus for it's conditioning and moisturizing properties, you definitely don't want to add that until after the flaxseed gel is off of the stove. If you added during the boiling process, then the flaxseed gel never forms, it stays liquid. But, adding hibiscus after I took the pot off the stove turned the gel a purple color and actually made it moisturizing for my hair even without adding a little extra oil... Which of course I did. Definitely looking forward to trying this recipe; I already ordered my sea moss! Really enjoy your content, MD. Your hair looks great!
