Edge Control

Our STEAMtastic Student-Nelly wanted to learn how to make “edge control.” Watch and learn the basics of making hair gel and edge control.
Measurement are below:
1 cup of Distilled Water
1/4 cup Flaxseed Gel
1/4 cup Castor Oil
1/8 cup Raw Honey
1/8 cup Glycerin
1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum
1.25g of phenonip preservative
10-20 Drops Fragrance (optional)
Jar for storage
Hand Whisk or Immersion Blender.
To get rid of clumps of Xanthan gum, it is better to use a whisk.

Mix your Xanthan gum with glycerin before you add it to your flaxseed gel for no clumps.

Jus what ive been looking for.thanks alot.

This was such a nice project. It would be nice to be able to adapt it for a high school science lab lesson because you could teach many lessons from it such as an introduction to the scientific method, weighing etiquette, properties of mixtures, and a host of other things with this one simple project. However because there are no measurements provided for a lot of the ingredients like the xanthan gum, it is impossible without a lot more trial and error than many a teacher has time for. I would like to see more content that science teachers can adapt to their classrooms...
