- In this video I do a wash and go using diy / homemade flaxseed gel. I made the flaxgel perfectly this time around too! Flaxseed gel is super fast and easy to make. The recipe and instructions are below. Enjoy!
Flaxseeds Gel Recipe
Ingredients:
• 2 1/5 cups water
• 1/3 cup whole flaxseeds
Instructions:
1) Add water and flaxseeds to a medium-sized pot and stir to making sure all flaxseeds are submerged in water
2) Set stove to a high heat and bring water to a boil (STAY NEXT TO POT DURING THIS WHOLE PROCESS)
3) Once water starts boiling remove pot from eye and set stove to a low-medium to medium setting. Put pot back on eye and continue to boil for 8 minutes constantly stir the pot so that flaxseeds do not stick to the bottom of the pot.
(After about 8 minutes of boiling, water will be a SLIGHTLY thicker liquid (it will still be watery). There may also be a small trail of slime that hangs from your spoon once you remove it from the put.)
4) After 8 minutes, remove pot from hot eye, cover it and allow it to completely cool for at least 2 hours.
5) Pour seeds and gel into a clean wig cap, pantyhose, cheesecloth or milk bag. Squeeze the gel into the pot to separate gel from seeds. Then transfer gel to an airtight glass container or jar.
6) Store gel in fridge for up to 2 weeks. Store at room temperature from up to 4 days.

The easy way to do this is to simply strain the flaxseed mix with a regular strainer while it's still hot . It will thicken up as it cools down so no messy hands and no need for pantyhose. 1 to 2 tablespoon of flaxseed will yield enough for 2 week's use as the gel doesn't have to be very thick to get the hold and other benefits. Also, too much flaxseed may contribute to the likelihood of flaking. Add some oil for additional shine, smoothness and to minimize any hard cast.
Great tips! Thx!
In vegan baking we use flax as egg replacements . and you can literally put flax and water and let it sit no boiling and get the same texture
How long do you have to let it set? Can it be done with ?powder
Shelf life is drastically diminished though...
I used flaxseed to make delicious drink.. it's so good..
@@carinecampier put an essential oil and it will last for about 2 weeks 🤭 however yeah it's pretty...looll
@@Laura-sg6ss essential oil vitamin E oil one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Organic honey one teaspoon of Jamaican Castor oil as well.
Coat hair in oil (I use castor oil) before applying the gel should help keep the flakes and crunch away. Water/Aloe juice, oil then gel.
Thanks this was the exact information I was looking for. Nobody talks about flaking.
For those who don't know...eye means burner. We say that in the south🥰
Much easier if you strain the Flax seed out of it while it’s a still alittle bit runny. As it cools in a jar already strained out it comes out perfect, no mess.
That’s how I make my flaxseed gel.
Yes! I
That’s how I do mine. I strain it through a sieve while it’s still hot. No squeezing through a cloth and no mess😊
After stalling for a good 5 months, I decided today was the day to finally make my gel and I found this video. Thank you to the commenters who recommended straining right from the stove. My gel is currently fully strained and cooling and my rinsed flaxseeds are drying out in the strainer. This was so easy and I cannot wait to try it out. ❤️
Also, your hair is GORGEOUS!
I followed your instructions today and it worked a treat👌👌
Thank you Jamila. I just used your method. And love the results. Your hair looks bomb
I came out nice. I make such a mess when applying this though lol. Flaxseed gel gives me AMAZING hold. I got a good 5 days out of my wash and go the other day using it! It does set fairly hard at night when I pineapple it but I just spray my hair down the next day with my water and aloe mix and it’s like first day hair. Best of all it’s cheap. 😄
Yes to all of that! affordable, healthy, good hold. I'm here for it!
Thanks for the honesty. I experienced the same results. Good video.
Your wash and go looks gorgeous Jamila and your flax gel came out really nicely as well. I've never made flax gel before but I think I will now! Great video!
I’ve never seen a TH-camr who was my hair twin!
YES! This makes me feel good!
thank you soo much this wery thorough instuction vid. 😊🤗!!! I made my 1st clear flaxseed gel, super instructions👌
I can hardly wait to try this!
so so beautiful..wow!!!
This looks great, good to have options with the flaxseed gel.
Actually perfect
So Beautiful! Great results.
Thank you!
Looks pretty
Very good J. Will tryit
Thank you for this. You’re so pretty and love the way you speak.
Thank you! :)
Beautiful results 😍😍
Monique Purvis Thank you! 😊
Thanks my love for sharing I need it my hair to look nice and will try the flaxseed gel with castor oil and little glycerine and vitamin E oil ,lavender oil as well for longer use now will be making my own gel from now own
Try to leave in for 7 days and it works well and then wash out you will see many results that's very good
I always used it as a leave-in gel along with a few choice oils.
I add honey and a couple of tablespoons of oil to the gel and whip to eliminate any flakes.
Great idea! The honey doesn’t leave it sticky??
@@onelittleplum No, it doesn't I use this same method!!!
Hello. If you put all that good products into the jar alone with the flaxseed gel and add a few drops glycerine, avocado oil, and conditioner..it works for me beautifully. Good luck
I just tried this and it came out amazing. First time making flaxseed gel. I'll do a wash n go and let you know how it goes
Thank you xo
Sorry I forgot to do an update lol it came out great and my curls were defined but I think next time I'll have to mix the flaxseed gel with another gel that has more of a hold
@@TheAddams3 👍
I'm going to do that. I use 10 drops of Lavender after I squeeze with 3 Vitamin E capsules.
My hair is so damaged it tames it beautifully. Thanks for your video!!!!
Just wanted to mention that vitamin e is a preservative for oils, not for liquids. The lavender essential oil acts as a preservative in your case.
Wow
Kinky Curly (KC) hasn't been completely honest with its ingredients. Several years ago, I worked with a cosmetic chemist to help create a natural curling gel like KC for my own haircare line. When they reverse engineered KC curling custard, they said it was no way they only used what they listed on the jar. They added some other things in their formula and I have no idea what it is. It would have cost $25K to reverse engineer the formula and I didn't want to know that bad.
Wow! Very interesting. I have been a KC devotee from the very start of my natural journey and when the product was in short supply at the height of the pandemic, I really wanted to find other options but nothing worked as well. Now that my hair care supplier only sells the 8 oz jar, I cannot justify paying that price anymore. So happy to have come across this video and your insider info about KC.
Your hair is so healthy and beautiful!😍
Nyah Thank you! 👌🏿
WILL THIS MAKE MY HAIR GROW
You’re gorgeous!!🙂
Hi' can you use it as a leave in conditioner for a week or two.
tried it omg the curls tho👍
Yes! Thanks! 😊
Hi I'm loving your interesting videos, hair wraps are brilliant.
Love using natural products especially cruelty free.
What was the curly curling custard please ? Name and brand ?
I have afro type hair also.
Thank you 😊 x
Your hair and you are beautiful!
Rhead Sparks Thank you!
Hi! Question: Why use aloe vera along with flax seed? Does the aloe gel work differently than the flax seed? Or is the aloe more like a moisturizer or leave in conditioner?
You should use the flax seed gel on its own, if you use it with so many other products of course you'll get flaking. I have never experience flaking from the flax gel on its own. Only beautiful shine
You showed us your hair the next day after it dried. How did you prepare your hair for bed since it was somewhat wet?
Hi, are you protein sensitive? I am How do I properly use this if I’m protein sensitive?
I'm making my gel and it's a little liquidy but its slimybis that ok
how many can we store the used flax seeds with room temperature....can anyone please respond
What about boiling in marshmallow root or using only marshmallow root instead. As flaxseed, marshmallow root makes mucus too!
In my opinion... From marshmallow root you would get slip and definition but little to no hold ...
@@carinecampier I wonder if marshmallow mucilage would make a good detangler??
@@carinecampier it would just not a good hair gel because it has zero hold properties
What did you say you used as your “primer”?
Thanks for the feedback🤗 I've used the fs☆gel with Ricewater plus AfricanPride#Rosewater&Arganoil curlmousse
and had no flaking🥳. Maybe to much products with the Flaxseed gel can cause flaking?Try it with different products is my advise😊Greetings from Holland🙋🏽♀️🇳🇱Love your hair😍👌
I’ll try that! Thanks for the tip and thank for watching! 👋🏿
It's really cheap and I've tried it ,so amazing curls ..I've given out alot of money Euros buying curly sprays.
But now oh I thank you so much jamila.god bless you more 🙏❤🕊️🕊️🇺🇬🇩🇪✍️✍️👌👌🤗🤗💖💖💐💐😅😅💃💃 iam really happy to save alot of euro's 😅😅😅😅
Do I've to wash out please??
So adding oil helps it not to flake
I suggest draining right away when it's hot. Less work.
Yup. I learned that lesson. Thanks! :)
How can you remove the flaking on my hair ???
The best way to strain flex seeds gel without any mess is to use french press, I always use it. You could thank me later.
Thanks!
I am going to make this gel and add hibiscus powder in to the mix
Oh.. I’m interested. what does hibiscus powder do? You’re going to put it in your hair?
Yea I use hibiscus powder in my diy deep conditioner sometimes along with other Ayurvedic herbs, but I want to see how works in the gel. I’ve seen others on TH-cam mix the two for gel. Hibiscus has quite a few benefits for hair but to name a couple it’s rich in vitamin C & amino acids, and helps hair to be more shiny and smooth :)
@@shai19ful does it have a pink colour to it??
@@onelittleplum no but I suppose the more you add it might
When I used the flax seed gel, when it dried, my hair was hard, dry and brittle. I like the curl it gave me what can be done to soften?
When your hair dries, put some oil on your hands and squeeze or scrunch the hardness out. Hope this helps!
I actually put castor oil and grapeseed oil in the container after I separate the seeds and then stir it so that it is moisturized AND defined.. Hope this helps!
Aloe vera juice soaked in funegreek seeds Can definitely soften your hair. Make you a leave in conditioner spray if the gel makes your hair hard
How many days can I leave flaxseed in my hair
I am new to yur channel. Where do I go for the ingredients to get the info of making the gel?
Hey! I got my flaxseeds from the grocery store.
Can I use ground flax seed as well?
Yes it works the same
Did your hair feel crunchy after your hair dried? The results look great 👍
Of course it's gel😂😂😂
How long did this last for?
After putting the flaxseed do you wash it out after
No. You leave it in to hold the curls and keep out humidity.
Does the flaxseed gel leaves your hair flaky? I am trying to find a gel that would not gives the white flakes
no it does not leave flakes on your hair, try it. I'm sure you'll love it
Left my hair flaky but I think I did it wrong
@@kennedywoods9230 your gel was too thick. You should have added Jamaican Castor oil and apple cider vinegar and a little Aloe vera juice if it's still thick.
Can you reuse the flaxseed from the first batch?
I tried and it doesn't get as thick to me. 🤷🏽
@@gfergie18 Same :/
How do I make the Aloe mix?
I just bought some package aloe Vera from the store.
I have some chia seeds lying around. I wonder if I can use those. 🤔
Te Bu I love chia seeds! I eat them all the time. But I would imagine that they wouldn’t work the same way as flaxseeds because the jelly that forms around chia seeds doesn’t seem to separate from the seed. But if you try it, please let me know the results. Thanks for watching! 😊
Jamila Nia May
Good question as I have a whole bag of chia seeds too 🤔
I mixed a scoop full of chia seeds in with my flaxseeds when I made my gel. Works wonders.
@@jamilania9230 chia seeds are extremely healthy for the hair.
I see you already have a natural good grain of curly hair that you were born with.
What do you do with the remaining flaxseeds? I wonder if one can re use
I make them into carckers... never had much luck trying to make gel again
@@carinecampier crackers with cooked flax seeds ? Yum. Do you have a recipe by any chance ?
you can reuse the flax seeds atmost 2-3 times .. I saw someone explaining in another video
You can reuse them by making a flaxseed conditioner. Blend the flaxseeds pour one or 2 cups of hot water. Then strain the wig cap you have flaxseed deep conditioner
You have low porosity hair? Does it work for low porosity hair? New here
😩 I'm not sure what my hair porosity is but I plan to do a video on that soon to find out! stay tuned.
You should have strained it right away in a strainer, its eaiser to strain
hey your so pretty and you have a baby face
In the refrigerator, lasts WAY longer than 2 weeks. People keep it for months.
How do you know bacteria hasn't accumulated in the gel? I'm skeptical
@@eventplanner461 The smell. It’s sort of like milk - it either smells off or it doesn’t, you can just tell, you know?
@@onelittleplum True but bacteria and yeast can still form without giving off a scent. The problem I have with diys is it's never really tested to see how safe it is. It's just guess work. Anyway, I do flaxseed gel but I only do enough for one use or freeze it for a day or 2.
How can we prevent the flax 🥺🥺🥺
Good evening please
6 minutes is way too long to boil... It doesn't take all that..... Bring to a boil stir let it sit, and get cool down to a warm temperature
Shelf life plz Tell

Well explained! I love your hair!
Thanks! 😊
