I'm updating my Flaxseed Gel recipe previously uploaded in 2014 inspired by Naptural85. This is a natural DIY hair gel that's perfect for all hair textures and hair types. The flaxseed & aloe vera gel is super moisturizing and is full of Omega-3, that has a nice hold without the crunch! Although flaxseed can stand on its own, adding Aloe Vera will enhance the texture of the gel and give you the ultimate shine! I'm going to share how to make the PERFECT natural alternative gel to twist your locs. For more details on the benefits of this oil, check out my blog.

I ❤️ this. Thank you so much for the DIY tutorial. I made an oil and rose water for my locs. Then I decided to make some sugar scrub and lip scrub for myself. I researched the ingredients and made some tweaks to the DIY’s I found. I added Vitamin E, Tea tree and Moringa oil to the gel. Worked like magic. No flakes. Not oily. Not greasy. No residue. This is inexpensive and easy. Thank you so much🖤🖤🖤❣️

@Oonagh72 7 лет назад

FYI-If you make a lot and don't use a preservative you can portion the gel and freeze the leftovers. I have had good success with this since I never use all I make and it will go bad in a very ugly and evil way. Also flaxseed gel makes a great vegan egg substitute and it is good for you too.

My daughter just started her loc journey and I’m so glad I came across this video. I think this will be so much better than buying a million products to find which one works best. I was afraid of build up and harmful gels... Can’t go wrong with natural products. Im slowly making my way to having only natural products in my home. Excited to get some flaxseed tomorrow and try this.

@Windsingerful 7 лет назад

I've got my Flaxseeds and I'm ready to go my next retwist! Just need the applicator bottle (do you store it in that in the fridge)? Which oil do you put in? You mention sitting under a dryer, which helps the white looking gel dry clear. What if you natural (air) dry...would it still dry clear? My hair is pretty non-porous and I still have fly-away hairs that though I wrap around the loc, still come loose. I'm hoping this super-moisturizing gel can help with that! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

@naturalbeauty0214 7 лет назад

Yes store in fridge. I use any oil that helps with thickness and shine. I've never tried drying without a dryer. I'm thinking that it would but alot slower which could cause a smell eventually.

@Windsingerful 7 лет назад

I don't have a hair dryer... If it's late and I want to go to bed, I'll hit my hand blowdryer, but I've been air drying almost since day one. That may change as my hair gets longer, but so far, so good.

@naturalbeauty0214 7 лет назад

@windsingerful There are alot of people who do not like the dryer and prefer air drying. Some towel blot to to dry as much as possible and let it dry naturally? Is that your method? I say if it isn't broke, don't fix it! Air drying works for you and alot of others. Its definitely more healthier on your locs.

@Windsingerful 7 лет назад

I have 3 mircrofiber towels i use to dry my hair, plus, it's pretty non-porous, so that's about the only upside of begin that way - it dries pretty quickly (of course, that's also the downside - it dries quickly! O_o). But it could be as they get longer, that will change. I usually start early in the day, too.
