Flaxseed Gel

Has anyone ever tried it? Have you made it? I was thinking about making some, I just wanted to see if anyone else has any opinions on it.

I enwver tried it. Never used it. But let me know how that goes.

I have a long weekend this weekend, so I think I'll make it and see. I'll report back with my thoughts.

My sister makes it all the time and loves it. I've never tried it. She also uses it to make a detangler.

Never tried it but have heard it can work well for some hair types. I have told myself that 2017 is the year I master the wash and go, so I may try it out. So far my two strand twists and twist outs have matured so I am looking for new styles.

Is it only for hair? What is it supposed to do?

I have only heard of hair benefits so far. It may be good for other uses too though. This site lists some of the benefits: urbanbushbabes.com/diy-flax-seed-gel-and-its-benefits-on-the-hair/

This is late but. . .I make my own flaxseed gel. I love the stuff to the moon and back. My hair is really fine textured and used to lose curl easily when touched/manipulated. Flaxseed gel changed that game (and protein but that's another story) up to the point that I started being able to get more days out of my wash and go.



It's also economical for me- I buy a ~1lb bag of flaxseeds for $1.15-1.20. It usually lasts me at least a year. I make batches about once every month or two depending on how much I make and how fast I use it up. I freeze any gel that I'm not going to use in the week or two after I make it in ice trays, then defrost individual cubes as I need them. I've been doing this for about 4 years now.
