Thank you ! Yes, it's better to make a slurry first with glycerin or sorbitol but I didn't want to add an other parameter in that specific case. They actually influence the texture of the gels.
Great video! Just a suggestion but when adding gums to your water directly it can cause a lot of clumping. So to combat that you should hydrate the gums with Vegetable Glycerine first to form a syrupy mixture , then add it to the water to have even dispersion.
@@Yardenisrael I'm guessing that you're maybe vegan, if so you can use an immersion blender or any high shear blender to hydrate the gum without clumping. Hope this helps
It’s different for each formulation, but you can expect spoilage around the same time. Rancidity normally occurs within 3 months but can be much sooner, especially without a preservative. Signs of spoilage include change in odor, color, appearance, even pH, and/or obvious mold.
Thanks so much for making these videos....it would be nice to have a demonstration on your hair starting from xantham gel. would like to know if it results to a wet look.
Hello from Canada. Your video was very good. Good job and showing the end results as you worked your way through all the gels. I like agar agar for my S.E.Asian puddings. Like Xanthum gum for my salves and cream to make them less oily. I also add arrowroot powder, just a small bit to ensure smoothening of the end product. Aloe vera is great for shower section as also for facials. thanks again for your beautiful video.
Great video, thanks! I would appreciate a lot your opinion and help about this matter: I've made a Comfrey root alcohol liquid Extract (Symphytum officinale) for external use. However, it's use is not as comfortable as a Comfrey GEL (which is for sale in pharmacy). So I was thinking to use the comfrey alcohol extract as a liquid base, and add some thickening agent. What would you suggest to use for this purpose? Thanks a lot in advance for any help.
Je viens de comprendre le pourquoi du comment je n’arrivais pas à faire épaissir mon gel de carragenaan ! 😮😮😮 Est-ce que le sel est « safe » pour le cheveux ? est-ce que 0.5% de sel serait suffisant par exemple ? Aussi, j’ai expérimenter des résidus avec le gel de carragenaan . Est-ce qu’en rajoutant le sel ou encore de la glycine pourrait permettre de diminuer les résidus ? Merci beaucoup par avance 🫶🏽🫶🏽
I make my own hair gel with xanthan gum and glycerine.. Sometimes I add aloe vera. But I think a better idea is to add aloe and/ or hibiscus powder to boiled water and let it steep. Then use that to make the xanthan hair gel. That should give it longer shelf life.I made a big batchaand so far its still fine after more than a month at room temperature. I will never again buy hair gel. It works for several dayß after application. I just dampen my hair with a spritz of water. It reactivates the gel and I just fix up the flat sections of my hair. I also want to try using some herbal teas as a base for the xanthan gel.
@@PROSPERTEDDY I put a preservative called phenonip in it if I want to keep it outside the fridge or past 1 week. I make it in very small quantities though
Follow the directions of whatever preservative you buy. For example, I use phenonip preservative. The usage directions for phenonip state that it can be used at 0.25 - 1% of final volume. When the mixture is within the designated temperature range for phenonip, add the preservative and mix thoroughly. I usually use 1% when I use phenonip. So for 100 g final weight, I use 99 g of other ingredients and 1 g of phenonip. There are online calculators that can do this for you if math isn’t your thing.
A powder normally doesn't have a percentage. But depending on how much solution you want, u need a specific amount of the powder. So for 100 ml, u would need 1 mg to have a 1% mixture. Hope that helps
I mixed xanthan and aloe vera but it decreases the shelf life I think. I want to try making a tea from dried aloe vera or aloe powder and then straining and adding the xanthan.
I made a batch of xanthan gum hair gel and its lasted more than a month so far. Xanthan gum gel lasts very long at room temperature. Its when you add fresh stuff to it that you should be careful imo. I made a bit with aloe vera mixed in and I dunno if I imagined it but I detected a slightly funny smell. Not sure if it smelt like that from the start cos my sense of smell isn't good at all. I should have asked someone for a 2nd opinion.
Adding glycerin to the gums and THEN adding to water removes the possibility of clumping btw
Thank you ! Yes, it's better to make a slurry first with glycerin or sorbitol but I didn't want to add an other parameter in that specific case. They actually influence the texture of the gels.
UnivHair Soleil That makes sense. Will we get a video with them applied?
@SheRea DelSol Yes you will !
❤️ I prefer this method she did some of us are glycerine sensitive my hair hates it!
I was just coming to say this
Which one has the strongest hold ?
I like the ease of making the Agar agar helps. I liked this diy video
Thank you ! 🤗💕
The xanthan gel looks so easy to make 👏🏽👏🏽

I thought about it but glycerin can influence the texture of the gels so I decided to not add any.
Vegetable glycerin sounds good, as most store products have pork glycerin which I can’t use.

AWESOME JOB SIS AND YOUR HAIR IS A TRUE CROWN OF GLORY

Dear beautiful sis , I am here enjoying myself way the GELS CAME OUT, My favourite gel currently is the FLAXSEED GEL, AS IT GETS MY HAIR POPPING

Please does flaxseed gel leave white flacks on the hair cheers
Can we make elastic gel with decreasing the amount of agar agar
Are any of these gels shelf stable or do you have to refrigerate them all? How long do these gels last for?

First time seeing the Agar Agar...I'm an avid aloe fan 🤗
I like the clear gels a lot!
Thank you !
I have recently started back using gel only because it lays better now than mousse for my wavy/curly hair. I like the thicker gels 😊
Glad ur back love your videos

Thank you ! Carbomer is not natural at all.
Türkce için teşekkürler
Hi do u make any flaxseed and if so do u put any fragrant in any of your your gels. And how long does it last.
Will the Xanthan gum gel hold the hair in place? How long will it keep befor it spoils? Thanks for the Great video!
So the more you add the thicker it gets?
How many spoons of powder gel

Hi i love the clesr one where can i buy the powder from?
Thank u
When I blend the aloe vera am getting juice instead of gel 😔
You can use xanthan or guar gum to thicken them. I do this for putting aloe Vera on my face/hair bc I HATE the dripping.
Dont stir as much
@@krenee984 What's the life span of the Aloe after adding Xanthan?
@@PROSPERTEDDY I put a preservative called phenonip in it if I want to keep it outside the fridge or past 1 week. I make it in very small quantities though
Can u show us how to make a natural hair mouse or something natural that gives volume
Can you say which gel has high holding power? For hairstyle like finger waves or locs.
Looks like it could be the agar agar, judging by it's stiffness, however, it may need to be mixed with an oil to soften a little.
I want to ask, which is the clearest thickener for making dish soap?
How do you add preservatives to it?
Follow the directions of whatever preservative you buy. For example, I use phenonip preservative. The usage directions for phenonip state that it can be used at 0.25 - 1% of final volume. When the mixture is within the designated temperature range for phenonip, add the preservative and mix thoroughly. I usually use 1% when I use phenonip.

Thanks for the great video. Btw how good is xanthan gum?
Your simply awesome..
Thank you ! I appreciate you !
WHERE DO U GET THE ALOE VERA FROM
Beautiful 💕🇺🇦❤️🌍🙏🏻🌿
Are all of them fragrance free?
Hey can we mix all of this and make hair oil?
Which amount of water you use for these gels?
I love it new Sub here
How can i get all these materials pls🤗🙏
U are angel
How do you know it’s one percent
A powder normally doesn't have a percentage. But depending on how much solution you want, u need a specific amount of the powder. So for 100 ml, u would need 1 mg to have a 1% mixture.
Hope that helps
Be careful with Aloe Vera Gel, it has a very low PH and can cause skin irritation, needs to be pH balanced with other chemicals.
Really? I didn't know that. It always used to make me itchy
Can all of them mix together??
I mixed xanthan and aloe vera but it decreases the shelf life I think. I want to try making a tea from dried aloe vera or aloe powder and then straining and adding the xanthan.
I always throw out the dark color thinking it was bad just yesterday I literally threw out half my aloe 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Have you experienced any flaking after using these thickener based gels?
Yes , I use xantham gum based Aloe Vera gel , and it creates flaky ness to my skin.
how can i preserve it?
I made a batch of xanthan gum hair gel and its lasted more than a month so far. Xanthan gum gel lasts very long at room temperature. Its when you add fresh stuff to it that you should be careful imo.

Hello, love your video! Have you already try "toloman" from the caraibeen,🤔 I don't know if it's a good idea😅, I never did myself
Hello ! Thank you ! No, I haven't tried it yet. I think it's an excellent idea ! 💕
Wow I've learned so much from u
🤗💕
Not bad
Where can we get the Xanthan gam gel.
You can buy xanthan gum at health food stores, asian grocery stores or online. I put amazon links in the description box.
Wow love it but is hard
Xanthan gel is the best but god there is no way i can get that
I fell a french accent??? Are you a french speaker ???
In aloever gel you don't add anything
Show many tea spoon please. Can u specify.
it is possible to make just a batch of these with all the ingredients or would they have a bad interactions? can you try it?
Is xanthan gum good for lip gloss gel?
