The flax seed gel (let the liquid cook longer) is a great alternative to hair gel for curly hair. Apply when your hair is wet, scrunch to create curls. Let your hair dry naturally and then scrunch out the cast and it leaves your hair curly but defined. A natural alternative to the chemical mouse and gels advertised for curly hair.
My hair is pin straight but a don't like hot curling and heatless curls don't form well on me. Do you think the gel would give my hair some wave and maybe a bit of better curling if I use it for heatless curling? Is there any other alternative other than flax seed? that is quite out of my budget for now.
hummm if your hair is pin straight it is tricky to create a wave. I dont think the gel would change the hair. So sorry. Also whole flaxseed is super cheap in Ireland but I can't think of an alternative.
@@FairylandCottage my hair is very stubborn. I have been googling alternatives but i also didn't find anything. I will try flaxseed once i can get it! I want to take the chance to say that i love your channel! Here, in Sweden, living different lifestyles is very expensive. Being vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, or latose intolerant can be crazy expensive. Zero waste and plastic-free is hard to find. The country is grea at handling their trash and so they don't strive for alternatves. there isn't a deman by the population either. there is a store called Normal that has a few zero waste alternatives for cheaper, so I can get a wooden toothbrush, wooden dishwashing bush, and bar shampoo. I already started using reusable cloth pads which i love1 Anyway, i mean to say that it is hard to make changes here because of the lack of alternatives, but I really want to do my best despite my very limited income. Thank you
Niamh, Thanks for this recipe. My hair was thinning, I would lose a handful of hair every time I combed through it. I used this recipe twice, my hair is no longer falling out as I comb it. I love this hair mask.
I tried the recipe first time today! The result was amazing!! My hair, I mean not my cat's hair but my own hair lol got so soft and shiny. I have been having troubles to style my extremely damaged hair. Now I have my confident back
Hey Niamh!!! I finally tried this today, and you're right, it's a miracle! Lol I also left it on for an hour, and my hair looks and feels FABULOUS!!! 😁 Thanks for sharing yet another great healthy diy! Tiina 🌾
Hi Tiina, yippeee isn't it amazing! and to think of all those years I spent a fortune on silly products and all I needed was a few seeds from the kitchen!
Just made this and used it on my hair (I added 2 drops of rosemary essential oil and 2 drops of lavender essential oil) ... and I love it! It’s made my hair so smooth and shiny. Thanks very much for the video! 🙏xx
I'm so happy to have found this wonderful channel and have the opportunity to connect with like-minded people. It's no wonder your channel is "Fairyland Cottage", magic is made there! You're spreading awareness and breaking the 'hippy' stigma too with your open approach, it's inspiring
@@FairylandCottage I think your videos are coming up in the youtube algorithm atm! Good luck, hope your audience grows. Btw you have a beautiful home from what I've seen in your videos x
I have very curly dry hair . Gave this a go and I'll use it FOREVER! my curls clump together beautifully and virtually no frizz. I've used just the flaxseed jel for many years . This enhances the combination.
What a delightful channel wished I'd found it sooner. My partner hasn't washed his hair for over 3 years and his hair is so soft and nice now, it's amazing. I haven't shampooed my hair for over 3 years but couldn't commit to not washing at all until recently but finally stopped washing my hair in September this year. For the last 6 months though I have been plagued with the most intense itchy scalp I think because my hair and scalp are so dry which has driven me crazy so today I have made this mask and the results are amazing. It gives your hair body and feels lovely so I hope it will help get rid of the itch. I have used amla masks on my hair this year which does colour your hair naturally and should cover grey, it's also great for conditioning your hair. I was hoping my hair would go white as I got older but instead, it has gone honey blonde for some reason yet my hair was originally dark reddish-brown. I haven't dyed my hair for 10 years but it looks like I have had highlights but without the roots. Try amla, it really gives a nice warm colour to greying hair and not the orange that you get with henna. For cutting perfect layers in your hair, try a Creaclip. My daughter has the most gorgeous thick very long dark hair which she cuts herself using a creaclip, I also use this. After layering, I trim the ends of her hair and she trims mine. It saves a fortune on hairdressing fees.
Hello there! Im delighted you found the channel... I love alma too... tried after some Indian friend suggested... This mask is pure magic isn't it! I'll totally look into that creaclip... I have just recently started cutting my own hair...
I tried it today, It really makes my hair very soft and light with a little shine. Love it! I go for no-poo more than a month now by using all your method. What I noticed currently probably was reduce hair fall and new growth hair looks healthier also shinier. :)
I can’t tell you how much I fell in love with all of your homemade beauty products. I’ve already made your toothpaste yesterday and I can’t wait to try this l will probably make it Monday.
i cannot wait to try this!! ive recently eliminated conditioner and use olive oil occasionally to condition my hair. ive just came across your chickpea shampoo video also and am hoping it will help me eliminate the need for shampoo. thank you for sharing x
Massage ur scalp with some warm coconut oil or any other oil. U can find the proper way of hair massaging on youtube also . This is ancient aayurvedic remedy for weak and damaged hairs. U can shampoo after 3 hours, keep it overnight it would be great. Very nice video btw, i love the way u shoot ur videos. Blessings from india ❤️
@@sardonyxz ohh i see. I works great for almost everyone i know. Try to find pure coconut oil or u can try something else like this hairmask. May be hair oiling is something very 'indian' 😊🙏
Homo sapien i have used good oil .. my hair is just protein sensitive.. I live in the West Indies and my ancestors are from India so I know about all that ..
I just tried this hair mask this morning, and it's worked beautifully! My scalp is not itchy, gorgous shiny hair! I just added a spoon of honey for the moisture and because my scalp and hair love honey. I think that maybe it wash the hair a little bit so, it can be use like a smooth gentle mask/shampoo!
An easier alternative to the cheese cloth and having to squeeze out the gel is to use a coffee plunger. The trick to this is to cook the seeds until they boil and then simmer for only 5 minutes. Any longer and I find the gel is too thick to pass through the mesh. Once left to sit until cool it solidifies enough to use.
So glad I found your channel, I am loving your videos so far. I must try this recipe. I love the country like area you are at, looks so peaceful. Thanks for the video
I had never seen this diy anywhere before, thank you so much for sharing! I’ll be sure to give it a try as soon as I can get my hands on some fenugreek! 😃
I have been using your chickpea flour shampoo recipe for about a month now and I am really enjoying it especially not using those store bought chemical ridden shampoos that just leave my hair greasy, fine and brittle. I'm hoping I see a more noticeable improvement as time goes on using your recipe and I will definitely give this one a go! Thank you Niamh ☺️☺️
Ah that's great to hear Meghann! Yeah you should notice a difference. As time goes on you may be able to reduce the chickpea flour to 1 tbsp. I think this mask will also work wonders with the flour!! yay. Keep me posted how you do as the months go on.. x
How do you use chickpea flour to wash your hair? I really want to try the no-shampoo method. But I don't want to use baking soda in place of shampoo as that'll dry out my hair. So does chickpea flour dry out hair too? How's the results so far? How to use it?
Anushka Dhar hi there! Niamh has a video all about using chickpea flour as a base for shampoo, I use that recipe☺️☺️ I haven't found it to dry out my hair but I have naturally oily roots anyway, only thing I have noticed is that after washing my hair with the chickpea flour it can feel a tiny bit dry on the ends and perhaps a bit gritty, it's hard to describe 😂 but definitely feels very clean which is so amazing!! (Yay for no chemical ingredients we can't pronounce!) but a good fix for that is Argan oil as Niamh outlines in her video☺️☺️ I used argan oil ages ago and it makes your hair so sleek and shiny ☺️ I don't think I'll ever go back to regular shampoo 👍
@@meghannmcg8904 heyyy, that's great!! Thank you soo much! I'll check out her video right now n try it out, I hope it works well on my hair! All the best for your hair journey 💕
This reminds me that I have flax seed gel in my fridge that I love using as a face moisturizer. I just used henna on my hair and it’s so dry now so I’ll be putting this on my hair as a mask! Thanks!
with so straight hair as you, i use as a last rinse a salted water: 2 grams of sodium chloride ( table salt) for 1 gallon of water; it makes my hair soft and ,with 3 drops of vegetable oil on the wet lengths, it detangles well
Thanks so much for the recipe. I added some rosemary along with the other two while making the gel. It’s made my hair soooo silky I can’t stop touching it.
Ah let me know how you get on. I have a tendency for dry scalp too and it definitely improved it by at least 60 percent in my opinion but see how you go with your daughter....
Can't wait to try this! I've been meaning to mask with castor oil but so hesitant after my last hair mask with coconut oil which I had to wash over and over to get it all out *shudder* with no discernible benefits mind you. Ugh
Looks simple to make, great results but the gloopiness looks so ugh! That being said I will still try it. It's a simple natural method that looks effective.
😯 wow! This is so interesting! Thank you very much for sharing! I was looking for something like that cause recently I’ve stopped using shampoo with silicones and I have a hard time finding a sostitute for hair mask... 😊your hair is gorgeous!!! Ciao! Alessandra
Thank you for this recipe. I've heard of flaxseed gel but never with fenugreek seeds. I noticed how healthy and pretty your hair looks! Definitely worth trying!
natural recipe for a detangler for brown or red hair ( colour orange) : grate the kernel of an avocado; let it boil in 1/2 liter of water for 10 mn; strain, add a preservative and let cold use as a commercial rinse out conditioner
Niamh, brilliant hair mask you've put together! May I ask where you found fenugreek seeds in bulk? I'm based in Dublin and haven't been able to track them down in my usual zero waste spots :)
Fairyland Cottage I made the hair mask today. I halved the recipe because my hair is shorter and thinner than yours. I added a few drops of rosemary essential oil which is supposed to be good for the scalp. It smells very nice. My hair has never been shiny, but my husband says it has some shine to it now. My hair feels more healthy. I do have some flyaways up top that I usually don’t see, so I might make and use the gel for that. Thanks for the recipe. Hopefully with continued use, I will see even more shine and repair. How often do you use the mask?
Thank you Niamh! I will get the seeds this week & give it a try...Can this be used in place of conditioner on wet hair? Sometimes I use Avocado oil with ginger 'juice'; together on my scalp before washing. :-)
Ohh I like the idea of ginger juice, I haven't tried that before... Yes this can be used as a conditioner. Sometimes I just make half the amount and use on wet hair after washing... It's wonderful!
Niamh, thank you so much for what you do. such a nice recipe, as always :) can't wait to try it but need to buy seeds first. how do you think will it also work as a hair conditioner?
It works great as a hair conditioner. I make half the amount and use after washing. Bit more effort as you would need a preservative if you wanted to keep more than a day or too
Hi there, I don't use shampoo but if I did I would use the Sukin brand. Carbon neutral company. I use chickpea flour as shampoo but this mask really helps my scalp. I have also heard that nettles are good for itchy scalp.
the two tensives in this shampoo are very gentle, but caution; much citrus and orange peel essential oils wich can be photosensitive, and a polyquaternium in the formula
I think here we dont have fenugreek seed so going to try with flaxseed only. Is there another thing i could add or is enough with only flaxseed too?Thank you
Thanks! I asked my partner to smell. He said it smells of fenugreek... now I like the smell of fenugreek but not everyone does so if you dont maybe add some essential oils to the mixture.
yes actually.. half the mixture and because I wash my hair once a week I make it up sometimes as a conditioner.. I find it works great! just a bit of trouble to make but if you only wash hair once a week then its fine...

When you mentioned your cat, I wondered if this recipe might help with some animals' skin issues. I will research more about that.
From what I can see briefly online, for cats and dogs it is not only safe, but can be beneficial.
@@bingsballyhoo711 I never tried it on my cat but it might be good to try.
Ci love how everything has a purpose and a repurpose before going back to the earth

Your hair looks gorgeous 😊
This is so great . I’m going to try it.

Looks simple to make, great results but the gloopiness looks so ugh! That being said I will still try it. It's a simple natural method that looks effective.
haha yes my other half hates the gloopiness too!
Love all your DIY recipes 😊
CANNOT wait to try this!
Heather Quinn let me know how it goes for you!!!
Hi Niamh, you have a beautiful hair! I have an idea, you can add some essential oil drops on it 🍃
Ah thanks! yeah I add some essential oils sometimes. Just a drop or two works, especially if you dont like the smell of fenugreek
Thanks! Your hair is beautiful , love those pretty Irish birds too :)
Aren't the birds the sweetest!
Your channel is such a blessing!😍❤
Thank you for saying... you are a blessing!
This was a really nice video, thank you.

Ciao!
Alessandra
Hi Alessandra,
Yeah is much better than hair mask I use to buy in the shop with loads of harsh chemicals!
suggestion:
its better to use non-eatables for washing hair.
Thank u sooo much . Could you plse do your skincare routine and what is good for large pores. Thank u😍😍😍
I have a skin care video up...th-cam.com/video/0eL-l7HZmVA/w-d-xo.html
I don't know for large pores sorry...
Wow!
Thank you for this recipe. I've heard of flaxseed gel but never with fenugreek seeds. I noticed how healthy and pretty your hair looks! Definitely worth trying!
Yeah Debbie, let me know how you go if you try it! The fenugreek added is amazing!
Thank you dear, I will try this.
Please add to description! Many of us can’t quite hear the second ingredient. Flax seeds and what else? Thanks!
Fenugreek seeds
Tiffany Chiang it’s in the description box now! Sorry I totally forgot to write them! It’s 2 tbsp fenugreek seeds and 2 tbsp flaxseed and 2 cups water
I’ve been curious about your skincare routine for a while now. Would be great if you’d share. Thanks!
Great idea.. Its super simple but I can do a video on that. Thanks for the suggestion. x
In this age of complicated (and quite consumerist) skincare routines, a simple one is refreshing :)
This is amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing (:
Thanks for watching lovely! :-)
Your hair is gorgeous!
Thanks its the gel!! hehe x
Thank you for sharing 👍
Beautiful....😍😍
We add both the things in our hair oil and apply.
Hi!! I'm just wondering if you use this on clean or 'dirty' hair? I.e does this also clean the hair or should I do it after a shower?
I use on clean hair.... but once or twice I have just used on my hair and washed off with water..
natural recipe for a detangler for brown or red hair ( colour orange) : grate the kernel of an avocado; let it boil in 1/2 liter of water for 10 mn; strain, add a preservative and let cold
use as a commercial rinse out conditioner
Thanks! ill try that for sure!
i wait for your advice after use, dear mrs Niamh
Thank you so much...
Thanks for sharing 😊, love your video 😍
Thank you my dear!
Can i use this conditioner on my curly hair?
Instead of using a cheescloth,I normally grind it once cooled and then apply it....
nice idea!
Niamh, brilliant hair mask you've put together! May I ask where you found fenugreek seeds in bulk? I'm based in Dublin and haven't been able to track them down in my usual zero waste spots :)
Love it live it
stay blessed
you too xxx
Amazing 😉
Fenugreek seed is also called Methi seed. I found Methi seed in an Asian store.
I should have said that! delighted you found some! Enjoy shiny hair. x
Fairyland Cottage I made the hair mask today. I halved the recipe because my hair is shorter and thinner than yours. I added a few drops of rosemary essential oil which is supposed to be good for the scalp. It smells very nice. My hair has never been shiny, but my husband says it has some shine to it now. My hair feels more healthy. I do have some flyaways up top that I usually don’t see, so I might make and use the gel for that.
Thanks for the recipe. Hopefully with continued use, I will see even more shine and repair.
How often do you use the mask?
How often?

Thank you Niamh! I will get the seeds this week & give it a try...Can this be used in place of conditioner on wet hair? Sometimes I use Avocado oil with ginger 'juice'; together on my scalp before washing. :-)
Ohh I like the idea of ginger juice, I haven't tried that before...
Yes this can be used as a conditioner. Sometimes I just make half the amount and use on wet hair after washing... It's wonderful!
Niamh, thank you so much for what you do. such a nice recipe, as always :) can't wait to try it but need to buy seeds first. how do you think will it also work as a hair conditioner?
It works great as a hair conditioner. I make half the amount and use after washing.
Bit more effort as you would need a preservative if you wanted to keep more than a day or too
@@FairylandCottage thank you so much for the answer!
@@FairylandCottage Hi, do you think this has a big difference from just putting something like coconut oil in your hair?
Love your videos which shampoo you recommend me for dry itchy scalp? Please reply
Hi there, I don't use shampoo but if I did I would use the Sukin brand. Carbon neutral company.
I use chickpea flour as shampoo but this mask really helps my scalp.
I have also heard that nettles are good for itchy scalp.
the two tensives in this shampoo are very gentle, but caution; much citrus and orange peel
essential oils wich can be photosensitive, and a polyquaternium in the formula
I think here we dont have fenugreek seed so going to try with flaxseed only. Is there another thing i could add or is enough with only flaxseed too?Thank you
Thanks for sharing this, Niamh. Another wonderful and informative video. 😊 May I ask, how does this hair mask smell? 🙂
Thanks! I asked my partner to smell. He said it smells of fenugreek... now I like the smell of fenugreek but not everyone does so if you dont maybe add some essential oils to the mixture.
Thanks again, Niamh. 😊☺️
This looks great. Im wondering if you could use it as a conditioner rather than a mask...
yes actually.. half the mixture and because I wash my hair once a week I make it up sometimes as a conditioner.. I find it works great! just a bit of trouble to make but if you only wash hair once a week then its fine...
