Hi sis, I'm Jamaican and we have been using Irish moss since I was young. I still use it actually, it's a staple for Jamaicans. If you see the way I look at the age of 65 you wouldn't believe it. I look 40ish. Part of that is because I drink it often. Apart from using this awesome herb, God keeps me in a peaceful place.
Hi Cherry, I am Cherry too from California. Love your name. Do you cook your Sea Moss? What ways do you eat Sea Moss? Does it grow or make hair and skin healthy? Thank you. 🍒🍒🍒
This is one of the best, simplest videos on hair sea moss gel. I have gone through the mid-life, rights of passage. The change in hormones caused my hair to shed and thin out so much until I made my own herbal products. I made clove and cinnamon water to stimulate growth (I’ll try oil next time). Rose and lavender buds water with aloe vera juice stopped the hair shed INSTANTLY and made my 4c hair pop. I think this gel is going to complete my new regimen. Here’s to healthy hair 🥂
Sea Moss is an honest Superfood! Giving your body 92 out of the 102 minerals needs... you can't go wrong. Swing by my Canadian, Black-owned shop, and have a peak. Thank you for the AMAZING video!
I was excited to discover a healthier collagen in Sea Moss and to have the opportunity to share it with you! In this video we're going explore Sea Moss and how we can turn into hair gel. I was beyond impressed with the results and loved that I knew exactly what I was putting in my hair. Leave me your recipes below if you too have ever made your own hair products!! xox
Perfect will try this. I’ve been looking for a gel to keep my hair shiny and slick when I wear it pulled back in pony tail immediately after washing it. Looks like this may do it.
@anointed one sea moss needs to be refridgeraed without lif (maybe put cheese cloth on it) it's a living organism so it needs to breathe. And normally up to 3 weeks in the fridge...
I really love sea moss I make smoothies, face mask and use it in my deep conditioner the way Melissa did it on her video. Let me tell you it is a big difference. Thank you Melissa
I am very intrigued by this. I just tried fenugreek for the first time. I have made aloe vera gel and flaxseed gel. This would be cool to try with my girls. Thanks for the video
I've made homemade flaxseed gel many times before. It is messier than this, because you wind up squeezing the gel out through a knee-high. But it definitely did work. I found out the hard way that making flaxseed gel is simple in terms of just flax seeds and water... But if you want to add something like hibiscus for it's conditioning and moisturizing properties, you definitely don't want to add that until after the flaxseed gel is off of the stove. If you added during the boiling process, then the flaxseed gel never forms, it stays liquid. But, adding hibiscus after I took the pot off the stove turned the gel a purple color and actually made it moisturizing for my hair even without adding a little extra oil... Which of course I did. Definitely looking forward to trying this recipe; I already ordered my sea moss! Really enjoy your content, MD. Your hair looks great!
@@daciasdiy1861 I used dried hibiscus not powder...I've never worked with the powder so don't know if it would all filter out in the knee high or dissolve or just leave little bits in your gel.
🙌🙌🙌...hibiscus flaxseed gel for the win. Thanks for the tip. I added the hibiscus during the boiling process during the last few minutes. Turned out watery. Gonna try adding it after turning off the stove.
I was sad when u threw that water out. If no one have already told you. you threw away half of that gel. next time you boil use very little water on low heat. Leaving the water in overnight thickens up, and you will have double the amount or more of what you started with.
Might have to try this out. I've been focused on making my own hair products. I made flaxseed gel and a mango butter conditioner. Still tweeking the mango butter recipe for that one. I used Naptural85 recipe for flaxseed gel.
@@thebritfix i used Naptural85 flaxseed gel recipe. I made my mango butter conditioner with mango butter and my favorite oils oilve oil, peppermint, etc. I don't have the measurements tho. I just eye balled everything.
the pic on the thumbnail had me thinking you'd use it as gel for a wash n go.. not a slick back ponytail. I was hoping you'd show if your actual curls were defined and had hold.
Lisa Lysa me too, a little disappointed but hopeful with this one ☝🏽 the fact she went to the gym and back and NOTHING on top of her head frizzed up?! That’s a miracle, for me anyway Lolol because my hair fights gel and will start curling and frizzing the first two hours being outside
I LOVE THAT YOU USED IT FOR GEL!FINALLY!!🤝🏽👏🏾👏🏾 IM SICK OF GELS FOR WASH N GOS!LETS SEE FOR THE CHICKS ACTUALLY DOING OUR HAIR SLICK BACK STYLES ETC!. SO YESSSSSS!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!😘😘
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve made flaxseed gel in the past. I wonder how combine the two and maybe adding some aloe vera gel would Turin out 🤔🤔
Ok ladies, I tried this and it's the thickest most incredible, best gel ever. Much better than flax seed gel alone. All I did was add one teaspoon of irish moss to my flax seed mixture. Trust me it's the bomb.com
Very interesting! I would love to see you try it out on a wash and go! Your slicked back bun looked so hydrated and shiny 😍 I might consider trying out..and I’m guessing you’d have to make a bigger batch for a wash and go 😅
I made a sea moss gel but I left it at the harder stage because I prefer a thicker gel. I made it with powder and it came out great. Maybe I will try a looser gel and perfect it for my eczema on my skin and hair. Thanks for the video :)
Thanks for this video. I found Sea Moss in my International Supermarket for just $4.00 and it is excellent. I am using it in my smoothies and will now use as this new hair gel. We love you & thx.
I want to try this on my Sisterlocks with less oil though because they are still locking and I don't want it to lead to build up or slippage. Beautiful!
I didn’t add water just sea moss gel avocado oil love it peppermint oil and grape seed oil coconut doesn’t do much for my hair But I did make a sea moss and coconut body butter❤️

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I ended up rinsing the sea moss about 4 to 5 times in cold water. On my final rinse before adding the lime I rinsed it with hot water. The sea moss began to gel almost immediately. I tasted it there's no sea taste to it. After it sits in the lime juice for about 5 hours I am planning to blend. I hope it turns out ok.
OMG this is frigging awesome! I'm gonna try this today! I have some sea moss in the fridge right now! I was actually about to buy some gel for my edges and welp I guess not! I have made flaxseed gel and chiaseed gel.. flax seed as very runny and dried crunchy on my hair, but great hold. The chia seed was a nice color but not as much hold for me. Both were about to tbs to one cup of water, and boiled.
I enjoyed this video as i'm now using seamoss in my diet. Wouldn't you need a preservative though since you've added water? The shelf life on this would be what exactly? 1 week?
WOW! Tried Sea Moss gel for my braidout and No Frizz! My hair was very defined and looked FAB! I even worked up a sweat cooking and cleaning to see if my braid out would last. AND IT DID! I saved the spring water that I soaked my Sea Moss in for a refreshing spray for my hair.
As a food supplement the sea moss must stay refrigerated Once you make the sea moss into conditioner, body butter, or hair gel, does it still need to be stored in the refrigerator?
Try Fractionated coconut oil instead of Virgin coconut oil or Jojoba oil. I can't use virgin coconut oil my hair because my hair is fine and the oil solidifies and gets heavy.
