You’ll need flaxseeds, water, and optional essential oils. These simple ingredients create a nourishing gel packed with hair-loving nutrients.
Add flaxseeds to water and bring it to a boil. Stir constantly to prevent sticking. The mixture will thicken into a gel-like consistency in 5–10 minutes.
Once the mixture cools slightly, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the gel from the seeds. This step ensures a smooth application.
For added benefits, mix a few drops of essential oil like lavender or rosemary. These oils enhance the gel's scent and provide extra nourishment for hair.
Transfer the flaxseed gel into a clean, airtight jar. Refrigerate to keep it fresh, and it will last up to two weeks for multiple uses.
Use the gel on damp or dry hair to style and hydrate. Apply evenly from roots to tips for defined curls or as a leave-in treatment for soft, shiny locks.
Add a few drops of rosemary oil to coconut oil and massage your scalp. Rosemary oil stimulates hair follicles, strengthens roots, and promotes faster, thicker hair growth.
