How To Make A Conditioning Flaxseed Gel Hair Mask At Home

All you need is flax seeds and water to make this treatment. First thing first, add approximately a quarter cup of flax seeds and two cups of water to a saucepan, then bring that to a boil. Once it starts boiling you'll notice a white froth on top, then you can reduce the heat and simmer that for about five minutes depending on your stove top. The longer you cook the flax seeds for the thicker your gel will be. If you are using it as a conditioner, you don’t have to make it too thick, because it'll make it harder to strain. Instead, if you're making it to use as a styling gel, you might want it to be a bit thicker.

Once it looks stringy, that's when you know it's done. After that, you should quickly strain it using a stainless steel mesh strainer. Because you want to strain it right away while it's hot, or else the gel will thicken and it'll just be difficult to strain through the strainer. Furthermore, you won't get as much gel. Remember the gel is going to continue to thicken as it cools. If you do find your gel too thick to strain, you can just add your flaxseed gel into a nut milk bag or a pantyhose and squeeze the gel from the seeds. If you prefer a thicker gel, for instance, if you want to use it to style your hair, or if you have curls, you could always use this method instead.

The next step is to transfer flax gel into a handy squeeze bottle, due to the fact, it's the best way to apply the gel to your hair and scalp. If you don't have a squeeze bottle,  you can just take it straight from the bowl and apply it to your hair and scalp with your hands.

How To Use Flaxseed Gel?

To use the flax gel as a conditioner, the first thing to do is brush your hair out, in order to get all the tangles out. You can try to apply it to dry hair and put it on all of your scalp and hair. The most important thing is focusing on the scalp because the flaxseed gel will help with new hair growth. Furthermore, don’t forget to apply it to the length of hair because it conditions so beautifully, and will turn your hair shiny and soft. Tuck all your hair into a hair cap and leave it on for about 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, go shampoo and condition as usual. It's super easy to wash out of your hair.

How To Deal With The Extra Flaxseed Gel?

Most hair lengths could get many uses out of one batch. if you have short hair or less volume, you can just freeze the leftovers in ice cube trays and dethaw as needed.

Other Functions Of Flaxseed Gel

As long as you have a fine skin condition, apply it to your skin as a face mask as well, because flaxseed gel is nourishing for the skin. Flaxseed gel can also be used as a leave-in, especially if you have curly hair, it's going to help define your curls without leaving them crunchy. In the end, you will love the results once you insist on using flaxseed gel.
