A couple of nights ago, I decided to use some Flaxseed Gel I made to braid my hair for a braid out.

I watched the following video a while ago by Naptural85, and I don’t know why I waited for so long to try it out.
I tweaked the recipe a little:
- 1/4 Cup Flaxseeds
- 1 Cup Water
The following ingredients were added according to my liking (no exact measurements)
- Almond Oil
- Tea Tree Oil
- Rosemary
- Lavender
- Peppermint
I used a strainer instead of a stocking (less mess) and I also threw away the flaxseeds. I definitely was not feeling the texture, too slimy, so next time I will cut back on the water so that it can be a thicker gel. One plus is that the smell is absolutely AMAZING. I really like it… aroma therapy. The application was pretty clean. I made sure that my hair was t-shirt dried, applied the gel, and sealed it with my whipped Shea butter mixture.

All in all, I liked my results. My hair is very shiny and I have great definition. My hair is also very moisturized, so I doubt that I will have to apply more product within the next two-three days. I’m debating on whether or not I want to braid my hair again or twist it up for mini twists, but I will keep you updated on this flaxseed gel adventure.
It looks good! Where can I but the flaxseeds and the oils? Whole foods maybe?
Yes, definitely Whole Foods. I purchased my oils and flaxseeds from Earth Fare which is comparable to that market.
Thanks love:)
Very pretty. I love the results. Loving the blog also.
