Trying DIY wild Irish sea moss gel to define 4c coils for a wash and go.
I have 4c hair and sometimes it’s difficult to define my coils without using up sixty percent of a jar of hair gel in one wash. In fact, I’ve never achieved total definition without spending a ton of money on hair products.
I wanted to try a DIY Irish Sea Moss gel to see if I could cut costs on all of the expensive natural hair products I buy.
Recipe:
1 cup sea moss
Cover sea moss in distilled water and let sit for at least 8 hours.
Drain water and rinse sea moss.
Put softened sea moss in a heat safe pot or bowl and cover with distilled water.
Heat until sea moss melts.
Add 1/2 cup water and desired amount of oil to sea moss.
Blend.
Strain if needed.
Check PH balance and add preservative after it cools.
Put in applicator bottle.

@jardy348 3 года назад

Ok hear me out...I think with botanical gels, less is more - and I’m not just talking about the actual gel but with the layers added to it. Oils, creams and butters don’t play nice with them and possibly are barriers to the botanical gel...preventing them from forming a real cast on the hair strand and resulting in them flaking right off when it dries. Try applying the gel directly onto your hair after you have rinsed out your conditioner/deep conditioner and see how it reacts. And of course apply to soaking wet hair (like you did) and work in before adding more. I bet you your hair will stay defined and flake free😉. Part 2 please! We are rooting for the sea moss wash and go win!

@LaToyaEbonyHair 3 года назад

Thank you so much!! I’ve received your advice ☺️ I’m actually thinking of doing the leave in (because it’s clear) and taking out the white creamy butter. Two botanicals together and take out the commercial product. Butters always sit on top of my hair. That’s why I don’t use the hair butter in my videos. My sons hair LOVES it though.

@Neosoul_prima 3 года назад

Plant gels are very temperamental! So soaking wet hair, and not as heavy handed application is the key. The aloe gel probably wasn’t happy during the mix. plus the extra sea moss you used in the beginning, also probably made it too concentrated! I’d definitely try it, but with a different leave in, and test it out

@Doc_McStuffins 3 года назад

I don't make mine like Whitney. I love her, but I like using my expensive moss for as many things as possible. It's great for skin, hair, and for internal us, so skip the oil. Black bits are often on the moss itself. Clean the moss thoroughly before soaking and remove undesired black bits then. Then place it in a large bowl of distilled water with a few lime halves overnight, covered. Drain and save the water. I freeze it in ice cube trays and use as a facial toner and hair mist. I don't cook my moss. I don't see the need and some vitamins don't survive heat well. After soaking it's plenty soft. I put it in a blender (I use a nutribullet) with about a cup of distilled water if I have a full large bullet and blend. Refrigerate the mixture and it gells just fine. I freeze these too and defrost one or two at a time to apl9to the ends of my twists and braids for hold or pop a frozen one into a smoothie for a nutritional boost. Keeps defrosted for about 2 weeks.

@LaToyaEbonyHair 3 года назад

Wonderful advice from a pro! Thank you!!

@coleenwilliams7809 2 года назад

Don’t need to heat it up. Wash out with lime real good. swell in water then blend with purified water in a really good blender. For hair, skin and to digest. No need for preservatives it can last in the fridge for 1 month, 3 months frozen.

@mykarma2 10 месяцев назад

As a chemist I approve of your preservative and the way you added it. Made my little heart smile soo much to see this perfectly done (I'm such a nerd...lol 🤓). For the people who may buy that preservative.... As long as the system is under 5.5 you are good to go :).

@@LaToyaEbonyHair you are so right. DIY can be tricky, even I do not do it (and I've been a chemist for 15 years) because I don't want to invest in the proper equipment at home. I was just so happy you add it, and informored. Bacteria (like you mentioned in another post) can grow unseen in the fridge, freezer, on your hair, etc. AND GREAT mention of pH balancing as well.

I think you used too much product and also i think banding before it dried with this gel specifically might disrupts the cast as and causes flakes as well. So maybe use less and let it dry completely before stretching for a better result.

Pro tip from a mostly wash & go natural: Whipping isn't necessary until the drying process actually begins. You're not really doing anything while the hair is sopping wet. Whip/shake your hair as it dries to get the desired volume & help keep the curls separated.

@user-il4ml8dd4x 3 года назад

I love your channel and the work that you do. So from one hair scientist to another, I’ll say this to you; As a rule of thumb always-always mix all your products in the palms of your hands to test for harmony and synchronicity. If the two don’t mixed together perfectly like water and kool aid, and forms mini clumps on your hands or separates like oil and water the minute they come in contact with each other, that’s a sign that it would flake like snowflakes in Antarctic. However, if the reverse is the case and it mixed perfectly then that your cue that’s it good to go. DO THIS and if it works give your boy a shoutout🗣 Make sure you mix ALL of your products that your use for styling, ( oils, leave in, everything) if it all works, and it mixed all perfectly, then you know you’re good to go. If one product is the culprit, let’s say the leave-in you used, use another leave in that works. Hope this helps!!

@travelgirl7967 3 года назад

To test for flaking, mix the products you plan to use, on your hand and see if it flakes when your hand dries. Or save some of your shed hair to test it on. Your WNG was really good, bummer about the flakes. Perhaps to save the WNG you could rinse it off, then only put the product that will mesh with the gel or even the gel only and then dry.

Do it exactly as Whitney did and see if you get the same results. And I wouldn't use the aloe vera gel as a leave in either way. Your results were still good minus the flaking.

Personally, I got confused when you used aloe vera gel before using the nopales cactus gel. I just couldn't understand it. It really threw me off. Anyway, at least you gave it a try, which is more than what a lot of people will do. There were probably too many chemicals and gels in the mix. I've seen people do it with only using their sea moss gel mix and they had great curl definition with no flakes. I can be a bit like you when trying new things so you taught me a thing or two.

I’m still trying to figure out how to make flaxseed gel and y’all have moved on to sea moss😂😂😂 I need to keep up loved the video ✨

@LaToyaEbonyHair 3 года назад

🤣🤣 why do I feel the same way? I’ve just started doing DIY publicly and I’ve gotta reach back five years and do old stuff...by the time I try flaxseed we’ll be using seaweed 😂

I just use seamoss without mixing with to much product then after 15 min as a hair mask, after 15 min Rinse it then followed with my condition works well for me anyway everyone uses different way. But your hair is very nice👍🏽

Really intrigued by this. I would love a part two😁

Thank you for the video. I tried this years ago after watching another lady do it on RU-vid. I experienced a lot of dryness, flaking but great definition. I wonder what it would be like with the chamomile rose honey leave in. Whenever I have a problem with dryness and flaking, this always works.

I used all of Whitney’s products with this sea moss gel. I think her leave in conditioner is key!! My hair did not flake. I have very fine 4c-4a hair. I also used this on my daughters thick and very dense hair and hers did not flake either. I was scared of flaking because it left a big white cast as I was applying. But It dried well. And it was very soft the next day, not dry at all.

I would not be above dyeing this gel black. I think it's got potential! I'd use a little less product, more oil maybe, and no extra application of gel. And do you remember when you remoisturized your hair after using the temporary dye? That's what I'd do. Lol you just said that. Great video!

Hello, quick suggestion maybe try making the sea moss like you make it when you eat it and try using it that way. My theory is maybe heating the sea moss was too much for the plant and not to mention it loses a lot of it’s good properties once you heat it.

Its the whipping of the hair for me. Get it girl with your popping curls.

@LaToyaEbonyHair 3 года назад

That’s my favorite part ☺️

Flaxseed gel will give you what you need. It nourishes the hair, defines the curl without the crunch. Try it

@Doc_McStuffins 3 года назад

Don't use a lot of seamoss gel. You don't need Whit's leave in. It'll flake regardless if you use a lot. Personally I'd never use it as an all over gel. I use it as a strong holding gel for ends only. As for the whiteness, for me, lightly misting seamoss gel with liquid and applying oil on top works for me to minimize the white cast and loosen up that firm firm firm hold. You can try that while it's wet or once it's dry. I use heritage rosewater and glycerine to mist if that makes a difference. You achieve beautiful wngs girl! I can't do it :(

@LaToyaEbonyHair 3 года назад

Thank you for your input!! I’m looking through all of the comments and Probably try again ☺️

@izzyoda7867 3 года назад

The brand you received is the home grown kind of sea moss the kind you want to steer far away from obviously you didn't do your research and that's a must being that u are a RU-vid team member you want organic always it has no sea salt attached to it so a round 2 is a must sis

@Jinjaye 3 года назад

Great video. Minus flaking, nice results.

@ChiannaNycole 11 месяцев назад

I really hope Whitney is working on gel as we speak. Sad about the flakes. When products turn on me like this i mist my hair with water and blow dry while ‘patting’ out the flakes. It still looked good imo.

@SLees-tv7gh 3 года назад

Enjoyed your video. I add a little sea moss to my DIY flaxseed gel but I’ve never tried it by itself .

@knrayford 2 года назад

I saw Whitney’s video also and became interested in using the sea moss. When I looked it up on Amazon I saw the organic raw sea moss and I saw the ready made sea moss gel. I also saw another video where the sea moss wasn’t cooked but soaked and then blended so there are other options to using the gel. By the way your hair looked fabulous!

Vitamix creates it quickly and without any heat at all. Seamoss is great for the skin.

@arielrose6361 3 года назад

My only suspicion is the Target aloe vera gel. I've done flax seed gel before and didn't have flakes. Didn't put oil in it, just essential oil. I notice for me personally, most oils don't play well with wash n go's

You so beautiful smiling . I will trying soon .Thanks!!

@jrwalkerg_6772 3 года назад

I loved this video. I am a scientist and I'm looking forward to trying to make my own gel. I made flax seed and it definitely made my hair softer. I wonder if if would flake less if you added a coarse of oil after you put on the sea moss gel.

@leslielewis40 3 года назад

I’m intrigued...part 2 please.

@sarahobaka8354 3 года назад

I use sea moss as a deep conditioner to boost my hair strength and condition which helps when I do my cgm routine to get defined curls.

@JermaineAuNatural 3 года назад

I was like wait wait wait wait wait! The way it defined your hair was nuts! You was squeezing it out like you was making it rain 🤣😹 sucks it flaked but interested if you changed the amount how it would do. Also, happy you don’t scrunch lol we have natural scrunch lol
