This 100% natural natural gel is made from flax seeds.
It has a super nourishing and protective power for curly hair.
It's a real little miracle of nature with multiple benefits.

It's that the flaxseed gel recipe is very easy to make at home!
So here's how to make your own linseed gel that your hair will love. Watch:
- 1 half glass of blond or brown flax seeds
- 4 glasses of water
- a pan
- a filter:a strainer, a fine strainer or a fine cloth
1. Put the flax seeds in the pan.
2. Add water.
3. Heat over medium heat until the water simmers.
4. When the water simmers, heat for 10 min.
5. Stir regularly until the water thickens and the texture becomes viscous like gel.
6. Filter the mixture into a container.
7. Leave to cool.
There you go, your homemade linen gel is already ready :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
This beauty treatment is completely natural and very economical.
In my opinion, you will be surprised by its effectiveness !
And I also love its smell.
You will see that at the beginning, the gel is quite liquid.
But as it cools, it turns into a thicker gel.
That's why it's best to strain it while it's still hot.
It's much easier.
Otherwise the gel becomes too thick and does not pass through the filter.
And this is the major drawback of this recipe.
Filtration is not always easy.
If you have difficulty filtering your mixture with a sieve or strainer, use a fine cloth.
A clean, old stocking will do just fine. And it's a great way to recycle them!
However, be careful with its conservation!
Don't forget that your gel is preservative-free.
Store it in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. No more!
It turns out that you can use blond or brown flaxseed. It's the same thing.
And do not hesitate to adjust the quantities of the ingredients to have a more or less sticky or viscous appearance.
Know that there is another technique for making linen gel.
This is the so-called cold method.
The good news is that its preparation is even easier than the first recipe.
- 2 tablespoons blond or brown flax seeds
- 2 glasses of water
- 2 jars
- 1 fine filter cloth
1. Put the flax seeds in the glass.
2. Add water.
3. Mix.
4. Let stand overnight .
5. Strain the mixture into the second jar using the cloth.
6. Squeeze the fabric well to collect all the gel.
And that's all ! Your linen gel is ready :-)
Again, you can keep it for 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge.
Linseed gel can also replace a daily hair gel.

Flaxseed is truly a fantastic seed for health and beauty.
Its benefits are numerous, especially for digestion.
Flax seeds are particularly rich in oils and full of omega 3.
They are excellent for skin and hair.
Do you know, for example, that linseed oil is an effective remedy for hair loss?
They are particularly moisturizing and firming .
Not to mention that flax seeds are rich in mucilage.
This means that they swell on contact with water.
And they easily turn into a viscous substance:gel.
By the way, if your linen gel is too viscous, remember to heat it up a bit to liquefy it.
