How to make Herbal Infused Marshmallow Root FLAX SEED HAIR GEL 

Non-random Earthling thanks so much for this!

great idea!

Or a vegan milk bag or filter😉

ooh and I have one! Will do.

I was just looking at a potato ricer for this!!! Great idea!!

That's what I do.

What preservative you can used ?

Anything water based- use a perseverative. And to answer the person above's answer: Geogard ECT works well on persevering substances containing film forming humectants (aka plant gels)

Thanks for watching! I hope it works for you as well as it did for me! I find applying the pressure through a more flexible material (nylons vs muslin cloth) works better for consistencies like this ;)

What about if you water it down?

xy11xy Try adding oil(s)

Yes, I've done that and what I wind up with is greasy flakes! They cling to the hair and look like greasy dandruff!

I had that problem too! it was really annoying... what I did to get rid of the flaking was to add about a teaspoon of olive oil or coconut oil to my pot of flaxseed while it was boiling. and I put a leave in conditioner on my hair (and sometimes oil, but that's optional) before applying the flaxseed gel. Adding a small amount of honey (like 1/4 of a teaspoon) to my boiling pot of flaxseed also helped with the flakes, but don't add too much because it might make your hair really hard. try that out? if you do let me know how it worked for you!

Ann Myst Everything u said, except I also add fresh lemon juice. I don't have any flaking anymore.

You could try a little Castor Oil mixed with A thinner oil basically do the Loc method and then apply the flaxseed Gel after your leave in and oils of your choice.

sorry for the late response! but yea mos def you have to refrigerate or add some kind of preservative (Optiphen is not so bad)

Yeah if you keep it in the refrigerator it wont start to go rancid for at least 2 weeks (and sometimes I'll use it up to 3 weeks). and if I add tea tree essential oil I can keep it for up to a week longer.

Freeze what you don’t use in small containers

newphillygirl I used potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate because they are food grade preservatives that have served me very well in my personal lubricant line.

I freeze mine and take it out when I want it.

Drink it! Or use it in conditioner

Use s a detangler

Put it on still as it is a humectant.

I leave it on! It is very conditioning for your hair (and your hands when making it!) - this recipe is designed for more of a holding and defining effect i.e. holding and defining curls that won't get frizzy throughout the day

Hey Rachel, Marshmallow root is a wonderful demulcent (relieving irritation and inflammation) herb that has a gelatinous feel (when boiled!) hence why I add it to this concoction!

Yes she said all hair types

@@priscillamir7404 I think they were asking if anyone in the comments with 4c hair had tried this before

haaa! i wish marshmallow root had some kind of smell at all! lol so unfortunately no

😂😂😂 marshmallow is full of sugar....not the root😂😂

Marshmallows used to be made with this but not anymore.
