Great video! And yes using whole marshmallow root will make it much thicker and could help with people with courser hair like 4c_like myself. When I saw you with the power I was like great less work! But it didn't gave the same thickness when boiled :( plus I'm going to try it with a socking thanks for the idea to get as much out as possible so glad I saw your video :)))
I hope it works out for you!! You have to really let it boil and play with it a few times to get the right consistency! That's the key :-) let me know if you try again!
Your video is a great presentation. I couldn't find the actual marshmallow root but did find the capsules. I wasn't too sure how much of the capsules to use so i made a small batch first. I used 2 capsules, 1/8 cup of flaxseed and 1 cup water. Umm it was thick and gave it a serious hold so maybe more water next time or 1 capsule of marshmallow root.
Thank you! Yea, the hold varies from head to head. My hair required serious hold for my W&G to last a little longer. I'm glad you found something that works well for you!
I suppose you can try. I did them separately because I wanted better control of the consistency between the two. Marshmellow root takes a little longer to boil than flaxseed. Sorry for the late reply!!
I use an all natural preservative called Leucidal Liquid Complete- add it at 2% to your concoction to extend the shelf life and save yourself a lot of work. It is also great for maintaining moisture as it’s a natural humectant and good for skin & hair. I loved this formula for my baby girl’s frizzy fly always!
I have only experienced a little dry flake but it can just be brushed off. I only mix with shea butter now. But in the fridge is should last at least 7 days, you can tell when it spoils, your NOSE will know
This video is so aesthetically pleasing.
Thank you so much!
I’ll give this a try, natural ingredients are always best.
I am so glad I found this video. You just inspired me to try this recipe!

would've been nice to see a application of it
I'll do an application video for sure!
Hey this is a great video. I am curious why you can't cook them in the same pot at one time
I wanted to also know

I noticed that marshmallow root and flax seed gel forms white specks in it when refrigerated. Has anyone else had this occur?
I haven't noticed that. What are you using to hold the contents?
Wearing Her Crown 👑 whoops! I stored it in plastic containers.
However I now use glass mason jars.
once it forms white specks it's time to throw it out. It does spoil fast unfortunately.

mam is there any substitute of marshmallow roots?.. cause here in india its not available...
amlan biswas Try Aloe powder, which I am sure India has in great supply.
Marshmallow root is optional. The gel is just as effective without :-)
This is late, but slippery elm behaves almost exactly like marshmallow root.
Will this cause flakes and whiteness, how long does it last?
