I Tried Making and Using Flaxseed Gel on My Curly Hair (again...)

Is it a one product wonder?!?! 😱
After seeing all the comments on my last flaxseed gel video, I felt a second one was in order. In today's video I'm sharing the whole process (again) of how I make and use homemade flaxseed gel on my curly (3c) hair. But this time, as a REGULAR GEL instead of as a treatment/experiment lol. I was surprised by the results, to say the least. Hope you enjoy the video!

Absolutely obsessed with your curls! So gorgeous

[@stylebyariel]

Thanks Micaela 💖💖💖

I followed Mrs Alba Ramos' flax seed gel diy and love it. She uses nut milk bags to strain the gel (which seems to work much better than just cheesecloth). I only had cheesecloth so after my struggle effort I decided to sew the sides of a couple of pieces of my cheesecloth material to create something more user friendly. ☺️

[@marinagutierrezart]

This is the only gel I use that replaced three ... the leave in conditioner, store bought gel and store bought oil for shine. Just blot dry my hair, section into smaller sections and finger comb it through the hair and crunch it. Let dry natural or use the defuser for more volume. Once dry, the curls are shiny and bouncy. It is the only gel i use now😊

[@ketchup8496]

you can use it as a leave in?

[@CP-xy7rp]

coincidently stumbled into this video just after researching on flaxseeds. The reason I believe the first sttempt worked because flaxseed oxidises if left open. it needs to be used up promptly. It worked the first time as you used it soon after.

[@angelac4803]

Thank you for posting this video. I tried flaxseed gel and it wasn't giving me the curl definition that I was looking for either...but I am going to keep with it after watching your newest video. I don't think that I am using enough.

[@jolaniperez3794]

Im also here from your other video you posted trying the gel as a treatment. After watching this one Im going to try it out for sure and i wanted to say thank you. Also youre so adorable i think im in love 😅🖤❤️😘

[@stylebyariel]

Haha aw thank you so much you're so sweet 🥰😘❤

[@tamuh5415]

You can use some tights to strain. That way you can put it over the glass and nothing slips...

[@IAmSam1952]

I use the cheap knee high stockings, they cost about $.50 a pair and are reusable. I let my gel cool for about an hour before I pour into the stocking that I have stretched over a large measuring cup. After I get it all into the stocking, I take it off the cup and squeeze out all of the gel into the cup, from there I pour it into a mason jar.

[@stylebyariel]

Yes I need to try those!

[@Ohquesarah]

Strain while hot, it will transfer like water and then cool into it's gel consistency.

[@reginacummings1736]

Thank you Ariel. I am trying this. And your hair is so beautiful.

Use a wig cap to strain the gel.

[@ericalynn6878]

@@stylebyariel continue doing ur hair like that hair products is a struggle I'm considering this as well. I'm figuring out the right shampoo and conditioner for my hair at this moment. Covid 3 kids it sucks...it's dry needs protein grows super slow.

[@jazdan6471]

Use a fine metal strainer and you'll avoid all the punishment to you're hands

[@Sherrypie1111]

When I make flaxseedgel (MY RIDE OR DIE😍) then I make a lot of it and what I don’t use in yet, I put in an ice cube tray and freeze it in. It stays good in the freezer for months. And when I need the gel, I take a few cubes out the freezer the night before. Its perfect👌🏽

[@alexamarie_3]

You're probably not gonna see this but I HIGHLY recommend you strain it (while it's still hot) using a regular metal strainer.. soooo easy and not messy at all

[@goldensand4575]

Very true. It should be like that. Flax seed should be strained when it is hot by an ordinary strainer. No need of using any cloths. And then you can keep it in the refrigerator.

[@danaconceicao3079]

Im here from that other video... I was so shook that you really used a gel as a hair treatment. lol Idk who asked but you really stuck it out for us doin that challenge 💪🏽😅.. Thanks for showing how it would work as an actual gel! looks bomb and now I just might have to try. Do you think it works in humidity?

[@stylebyariel]

Thanks girl! You gotta try it. I let my hair air dry outside in the humid summer weather and these are still the results I got! It’s my new favorite. Just made another fresh batch to use it again 😁

[@jessy9514]

Live in Texas where the humidity gets about 60% and I'd say get a mousse or something with hold because flaxseed by itself doesn't have much. It'll hold for about half a day after it's dried and then start getting frizzy.

[@arturochavez5500]

@@stylebyariel jujjjjjjjjjjjuhuh

[@plee6223]

Flaxseed gel thickens when it cools. You don’t need to boil it so long. If you strain the gel when it is hot, using a strainer it is easy to get the seeds out. I strain it into a measuring cup so I can pour it into a container.

[@igbaniliz2878]

I used to use only aloe vera gel which was good enough but I recently started using flax seed gel which was better. Then I have added nolan cactus gel which is also sooo good. The moisture is extreme when I mix all 3 gels together and use.

[@EloraLiveZ]

Nice video! Flaxseed gel is a humectant. It needs to be used before any leave in and oil otherwise it wont penetrate and hydrate the hair well. And it will dry off.

[@sxt4447]

Thank you for showing the entire process because I’ve been looking for something to keep my hair moist and help with hair growth for so long and both your videos on the diy flaxseed gel were so well produced and informative. I would’ve done the same thing as you did before using the gel as a treatment rather than a regular styling gel. Happy mistakes make for teachable moments :) Happy new year!

[@stylebyariel]

Wow, this is the best comment I’ve gotten in a while. Thank you so much! Happy new year! ✨

OMG THIS WAS AN AMAZING VIDEO😌🙏🏾 It's the quality for meeeeeeeee😌 man I really want to try this, ill have to try when I take my braids out. but your results were so bomb the curls and volume 😍😩

[@stylebyariel]

😍😍 thanks girl!! Yesss you definitely gotta try it! I’d love to see what it does to your hair!!

[@tawana2inspire]

I love flax gel. Next time try a 99 cent knee high or and a stocking cap to strain the gel out.

[@curlydi6677]

You can re-use the seeds if you dry them out afterwards

[@stylebyariel]

Good to know, thanks for sharing!

[@kanakamahalakshmimaddula1078]

can we re-use them if they are in romm temperature. and is it necessary to shampoo hair after every application or we can rinse off with water. thanks in advance

[@MoncœrCoyoteSmith]

Add in some boiled corn starch. Don’t add in any other products because by doing that you are dealing in the cuticle and blocking the hair from taking up the gel. It is just sitting on top of the hair. No conditioner. No leave in conditioner. The gel is your conditioner.

[@tajr.2650]

Use a regular strainer and just put it in the freezer (in a plastic container) until ur next time to make it. 🤓

[@lisagriffin8898]

@@tajr.2650 Great idea!

[@theonlyja]

Ariel, good job next time don't forget to add a little coconut oil or vitamin E to your gel.

[@ChrisWhite-lj8hi]

Great video! A tip I would give to preserve it is to put in cubes and freeze them.

[@tajr.2650]

Only use distilled water when making this, a strainer and squeeze bottle is so much easier for application. 🤓

[@sherryboulden5013]

I haven't made it for a while , so I'm making flaxseed gel today...your hair is beautiful girl♥️

[@stylebyariel]

Love that. Thank you ❤️

[@vagirl240]

WOW!!! I forgot how well flaxseed gel worked! Your curls look vibrant & juicy!!!! I stopped making it because I felt like it was too much work & my hair suffered. I guess I’ll stop being lazy

[@stylebyariel]

It’s true it’s a lot of work 😅 but the results are worth it and it’s so affordable too!!

[@Sherrypie1111]

You can make A LOT and you can put the left overs in an ice cube tray and freeze it in, works totally perfect! It stays good for months and when you need the flaxseed gel, just take a few cubs out the freezer the night before

[@jeannedowney7970]

I bought flax seeds today!!! I can’t wait to try it!!! Thank you for such a great video ❤❤❤❤

[@JR-bw3tn]

have you ever tried a stainless steel strainer instead of cheesecloth?

[@stylebyariel]

No but I will have to!!

[@chandnikotian3433]

Sweetheart after turning off the stove let the gel cool down for approximately and then sieve it

How did ur hair not get crusty and flaky after applying the gel though? Because my hair always gets crusty when the gel drys

You touch your hair too much People with curly hair should not touch their hair so much especially while it’s drying

May be u applied to ofter hence the dryness put some COCONUT oil , please allow it COOL.

[@ankitaghosh9981]

How many times a week can we use this??

[@stylebyariel]

If you're using it as a treatment, I recommend once a week. If using it to style your hair, you can use it every time you wash/style but I'd still recommend no more than a few times a week to avoid protein overload!

[@rosinaengelbrecht7211]
