I love making my flaxseed gel ,try using some peppermint oil in it, the bomb, it saves your edges .you can re-use the same seeds to make more, about three times
Monique-Chicago I did not experience any flaking with this DIY. I am a 3c/4a and my strand really absorbed the gel. Whn it dries it may leave ur hair slightly crispy but that goes away whn u style ur hair. But the hold is only about a 2-3 depending on ur texture.
Welcome to the world of Flaxseed Gel!! i make it all the time i cant use Eco styler damaging to my skin.Flaxseed Gel produces no crunchiness, and is super moisturizing too keep in the fridge place it an an applicator bottle way easier to just squeeze it in your hand vs getting out of a jar. Hope this helps Will 😄 and everybody 😁
I made flaxseed geland I love it! I reuse the seeds atleast 2-3 times so a little goes a long way! It does great as a moisturizer, both with and without product, and my curls are always popping!
Yesss! I came back to flaxseed gel last wk and I'm so glad I did! I get soft bouncy twist outs. I store in the fridge no longer than 2 wks and add 6 drops of lavender oil to preserve.Great vid :)
I just made it for the first time last weekend, and I'm in LOVE with it. I added olive oil, jojoba oil, and castor oil to mine. It has a light hold, so my curls stay defined after an intense workout.
Okay soooo 1. I love this video. 2. I made my own the other day! And I love it 🥰 I also added some tea tree oil because I like that tingly feeling. So don’t be afraid to add other natural things to make it smell or feel different❤️
Freeze your gel in ice cube trays or silicone baking pans. Put in a freezer bag and thaw out what you need that way or will not go bad. Because I hate wasting product. Also use a French coffee press and it will be a life saver from the mess of extracting the gel from the seeds
I put a funnel in my jar and then place a strainer over that. I use a funnel that has a good size opening to allow the gel to easily go through. Then I just pour the hot gel through the strainer and use a spoon to spread the seeds around and move the gel through. I don't have to touch the hot seeds at all and I don't have to wait for them to cool off.
it is reccomended to let the gel sit so that the texture becomes uniform and has time to become a bit more concentrated (if that makes sense) 1hour should be enough time of sitting
It really is the truth, ever since discovering it I won't use any other gel, and it's super easy to change how much hold you get and the scent by just adding in some essential oils or other stuff when boiling
Yes I have made it in the past. One thing I added to mine that made a big diff was coconut oil. Maybe even a light carrier oil of your choice makes the flaxseed gel experience sooooo much better. And yes Sis, always put a moisturising barrier before using that FG! ☺ Nice video 😉
I’m SO GLAD that you are using FLAXSEED GEL!!! My recipe: ONE TABLESPOON into ONE AND A HALF CUPS OF DISTILLED WATER: boil for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally so the seeds don’t stick. When you see the “gooiness” form on a spoon, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer, and I’m DONE! KEEP IN MIND that it’ll thicken as it COOLS. I’ll add some aloe vera powder (like a Teaspoon) sometimes just to bump up the nutritional value! You can ALSO EAT raw flaxseeds!!!! Put them in smoothies or oatmeal!!!! Additionally, the nutritional value is OFF THE CHAIN!!!! STAY BLESSED!
*OKKKUUUR WILL IM LIVING FOR THIS!!! BUT NOW WE NEED TO STEP THEM COOKIES UP THO LOL I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A VIDEO ON HOW YOU MAKE THE FLAXSEED GEL (OF COURSE) BUT CAN YOU DO A VID ON A COMBO FLAXSEED AND ALOE VERA GEL MIX PLEASE SIS I NEEDS IT
I have made flax seed gel before; the only thing I didn't like was the flaking. However, there is an ingredient people say might help prevent that and it's called marshmallow root. I will be doing that sometime this week.
I always add Argan oil, honey and essential oils to the Gel while it’s hot. I use it as a deep conditioner because it doesn’t work as a styling gel for me.
"I've been looking for natural alternatives for practically everything in my life." Yes! Preach! And thanks for exposing the truth about the demon Eco Styler!
Hey Will! Love your videos by the way, you should actually try adding some aloe to it. It ups the moisturizing effects and makes it unbeatable by anything else honestly ( I also add some drops of Castor, Avocado, and Coconut oils to it). Thumps up on the peppermint oil addition too lol! The smell alone is epic, but the tingle is just sensational!
I make flaxseed gel and recommend it every chance I get! However, you can cook it too long, not long enough, you can store it too long, and be full of regret. (Yeah, I’m rhyming, lol). The economy can’t be beat, you buy a bag of flaxseeds for less than $3, the price of EcoStyler, but you get almost a years worth of product. I use 1/4 cup seeds to 2 cups, maybe a couple tablespoons more, and I get enough to moisturize for a month. I don’t keep mine longer than ten days in the fridge. Great video!
Its best to apply the gel while your hair is wet and then dry with air, diffuser or silk,satin or t shirt never cotton, do that and it will decrease frizz tremendously
Hey Bae, L❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️VE your energy... when you make your next batch use slippery elm and marshmallow root with the flaxseeds too cause the marshmallow root makes it thicker so if you do 1/4tbs it has a level 2-3 hold and 2tbs level 9-10 and if you use 3tbs or more tbs than the stronger the hold is Sis and add rosemary,cloves and lavender oils too when you boil it to grow your hair even longer cinnamon oil works great too for hair growth. 🤗🤗🤗😘💋💋💋
To make it last longer, you can put it into smaller containers and freeze it. Once you need it, just defrost it and it’s all ready to go! I typically do this because it’s easier than having a huge jar of it that I have to get through 😁
I really feel like i found a real blessing coz i have natrul curly hair well frizz and im not into putting gel but flaxseed gel made my curls awesome and i can brush them yes brush my curly hair and no frizz
I walked right passed those seeds last week because I knew I wouldnt feel like making it in the then future lol I might give it a shot. You keep coming for eco, making me want to let them go and I just finally got the flaxseed one 😩
Hello Will! Loved it, Im looking for all DIY mixtures for my complete hair regimen...I'm a budget newbie natural and we wanna keep the slogan CHEAP CHEAP GANG GANG!! TFS ✌💜😀
LovelyMeTL Yup... try this DIY out. Just get flaxseed from the grocery store about 1/4 cup, 1 cup of water boil for 15-20min or until ur desired thickness strain the seeds out w cheese cloth or pantyhose, a clean sock or whatever and then apply
I love your energy. I'm sitting here laughing at how excited you are about this gel. I don't use gel at all. I saw the flaxseed fel videos and thought it was just another fad. But I look forward the video of how you make it!!
Your so hilarious! Had me chocking on my drink! Lol. Your hair is GOALS! I’m making flax seed gel for my hair care line and so far I’m loving it and can’t wait to try it tonight! Thanks for the inspiration! ❤️
Wowww that worked so well. And on dry hair! :O I've always had a bad experience with ecostyler. I think they're terrible. I think I'm going to try the flax seed. The only gel I like is la Bella which is a protein gel. I'm thinking the flax seed would agree with my hair. Glycerine gels just sit on my hair.
rofl, love this video ❤ having me cackling loud in the house. I made sure to introduce my friend to your channel. (he's trying to revive his hair and take better care of it).
Try a 3 strand twist. BOPPIN!!! Take 3 strands like you're about to braid it (But DON'T), then take the first strand, cross it over the 2 remaining strands and repeat, repeat, repeat. RUclips it. BOPPIN! POPPIN BOPPIN. MARY POPPINS BOPPIN! Anyway try it and post it. I wanna see how it turns out. You'll Love.

Kryztal Galvin NOTES TAKEN ❤️❤️❤️
Kryztal Galvin 💛
Kryztal Galvin Yes I get 2 uses out of a batch of seeds
Does it flake after the first day?

Your videos are literally how my mind works. I love your sense of humor
I love your videos, they are always lit
Italia iPerspective Ayyye! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Finally I've been looking that doesn't creates gel buildup in my hair nor irritates my eczema, and have my curls poppin' thanks Will!
Come through definition and SHINE😍😍
I made flax seed gel, and gave myself 7th degree burns trying to extract the gel from the nylon cap, imma need to see your regime buddy 🤔
James Petty Yes u will have to be careful and a little patience whn u have reached ur desired thickness. I be burning the mess out of my hands😅
I put a funnel in my jar and then place a strainer over that. I use a funnel that has a good size opening to allow the gel to easily go through. Then I just pour the hot gel through the strainer and use a spoon to spread the seeds around and move the gel through. I don't have to touch the hot seeds at all and I don't have to wait for them to cool off.
James Petty oh snap lol, I hope your hands are ok.
Hey, I had this problem too so I went to the dollar store and brought some strainers and they worked perfectly.
it is reccomended to let the gel sit so that the texture becomes uniform and has time to become a bit more concentrated (if that makes sense)
1hour should be enough time of sitting
You should make a video on how you do your parts for your twists when they are like this. Mine never come out right
breea07 I have a video on it already! Search my channel with the keyword “part” and it should take you there!
French people 🇫🇷 here we also look your videos 😂😂😂
Hawa Bonjour!!!
Yessss we are here 🇫🇷
I have been procrastinating making this. I shall do it *tomorrow* !
It really is the truth, ever since discovering it I won't use any other gel, and it's super easy to change how much hold you get and the scent by just adding in some essential oils or other stuff when boiling

Ahjia Pullens oh gosh...can one video handle all that moisture?!
WillOnAWhim Lol I think it would be worth a try for those days when ya hair (mine especially) be like a desert lol get the curls EXTRA poppin!
Ahjia Pullens YOU READ MY MIND!
Gonna be needing a how to video please Will!
Also could you add maybe some essential oils if you’re not feeling the oatmeal smell?
Sue Sin naptural has a tutorial on how to make flaxseed gel and im sure you can add oils if you want
Linked a tutorial in the description...but also stay tuned 🕺🏾
Sue Sin you can't add oils because it's water based and oil and water don't mix (I've tried👎👎)
Sue Sin you can add essential oils, I do it all the time.
I have made flax seed gel before; the only thing I didn't like was the flaking. However, there is an ingredient people say might help prevent that and it's called marshmallow root. I will be doing that sometime this week.
Okurrt, didn’t realise I was this early.
Yes when I was natural I used it all the time . I to put mines in a empty lotion bottle with a pump so it would be easier to handle
I always add Argan oil, honey and essential oils to the Gel while it’s hot. I use it as a deep conditioner because it doesn’t work as a styling gel for me.
Def Jam sign this Kid!!! Rappers everywhere are quaking in a corner right now😫
