Hi friends! (update...) I decided to recreate this video using it as a REGULAR STYLING GEL after reading so many of your comments saying I wasn't using it how I was supposed to! This video was meant to be an experiment to see what would happen when using it as a treatment, but I thought it was only fair to try styling my hair with it as well. Hope you enjoy! WATCH ME MAKE AND USE FLAXSEED GEL AS REGULAR GEL IN THIS UPDATED VIDEO: czcams.com/video/oCInzQP4mJg/video.html p.s - thank you so much for getting this video to over 70,000 views. I'm in shock!!!! 💖
Try using olive oil leave in conditioner..it really defines the curls..light weight too..no frizz..I braid hair..it works on all hair types..detangles hair great
It's dry because you wash your hair every day and strip it out of natural oils. It does nothing but wonders for my hair, but I only use it every time I wash it, which is mostly once a week. After applying the gel I coat it with olive oil to prevent it from drying too fast and cover then leave it for as long as I can, an hour is fine, but I like 3-4 hours. My hair is the shiniest and softest after
I only rinsed with water, not washed every day but I agree! This is not an ideal way to use it which is why I have another video showing how I use it as regular gel. Thanks for sharing your method 🧡
My hair used to look like yours, 6 months of finger coiling turned my untrained curls to naturally bouncing now without me doing a thing. Being patient and suffering through the awkward stage. Train those curls like a muscle and they will snap up for you in shape!
Currently in THIS phase. Everytime I wash my hair I'm seeing new curl clumps. My curl clumps were the size of a barreled curl before, now they're starting to split up into more manageable clumps that don't wave out or frizzle away after wash. Also, get a haircut. It doesn't mean loosing all your length, but sometimes a new haircut is all it takes to refresh your proper curl texture. The top of your curl honestly can't perform well without healthy ends. Bad ends create a bit of a light strand-knot and all of that tangling really drags your curls down and deforms them from top to bottom.
I use flaxseed gel as a gel. I wash my hair, condition, add a light leave in and then use flax gel as a styling product. I get good definition and my hair is very shiny and soft. Try it as a leave in styling product. It's amazing.
Do you know HOW beautiful you are?? The camera clearly favors you! Lucky Cica. Good for you. And thank you for taking on this challenge for our sakes and for being so honest about results. Makes you even more relatable and more likeable. People Choice Award goes to....
Like already said you can't use every day also add some olive oil and lavender oil the olive oil for moisture and the lavender for scent. I use Shea butter on my hair in between for some moisture as well.
Although it has been 1-yr since your video. I'm watching for the first time. I just watched a Japanese secret used to keep from having frisy hair. They used flaxseed gel but include a tablespoon of coconut oil and 2-tablespoons of corn starch whipped until smooth applied twice a week.
I have naturally curly hair similar to yours and it worked so well on my hair I just love it it made it grow it started growing and I just use it like regular gel. You kept rinsing it out but you just leave it in and it’s not as hard as regular gel , it defined my curls and if you want you can add a little bit of natural oil to it and that’s perfect I love it
@@ostayzy Most flaxseed gels can be kept for up to two weeks in the fridge in a tightly sealed container. However, some gels may spoil faster than others, so if it smells spoiled, it's best to throw it out. Hope this helps!
I've never someone with curly hair deep condition with flaxseed gel but I'm amazed with how much it nourished your curls the first day! My favorite way to use flaxseed gel is to style my curls rather than as a wash out treatment. It really protects & grows curls like no other. The crunch is super normal, you just have to scrunch it out with a little bit of oil rubbed between your hands and your hair will be soft, defined and full 😍
I LOVED your day 3 look. I think the full look compliments your face! I didn't think it looked frizzy, but I live in a humid climate, and I truly look like someone else when it gets frizzy.
If u use flax seed gel continuously n by letting to rest on your scalp n hair for 1hr ur hair will become very soft; silky ; shiny and bouncy.. .. Im using it and my baldness is covering up with new hair. .. And my scalp n hair also looking very healthy
I do this once a week. I add 1 tbsp of hibiscus powder. Then after I squeeze out the flaxseed gel/ hibiscus. I add in one tablespoon of sweet almond oil, . Then I add in 10 to 15 drops of rosemary essential oil. And sleep with it overnight... I love it. Thank you for sharing new subscriber😍
Flexi gel just like any other gel can be drying. So it is recommended that you add oil to your gel and especially if you’re not adding any other moisturizer to your hair. I think that may help for the future
Parting the hair into section then apply to root do this all over then work the gel into your hair and add some essential oils to help elevate some of that dryness and it’s best as a styling gel hope this work😊
You should put some oils instead of using only gel e.g olive oil coconut oil or yogurt as gel is water based so it can't nourish frizz. Mix gel with oil or yogurt or coconut cream and use it as hair mask twice a week and you will see the result eventually. Only 5 days are not enough. Should wait atleast month with any homemade remedies. All d best
Day three results 😍 I imagine your other video of using it as a leave in gel is even better because flaxeed hair gel is a humectant best used as a leave in hair gel sealed with a lightweight oil!
I'm a guy and wanted to say you look super cute and beautiful with your hair frizzed up. With your hair frizzy I wouldn't be able to walk pass you and not notice your beauty but with it straight you would blend into the crowd but the most attractive thing is that your super polite, respectful, sensitive with no arrogance or hautyness. Wish you all the peace on earth.
I agree with this man. Your face and personality are beautiful, caused me to watch the whole video. I hope that you get the texture of hair that pleases you! Thanks for the video.
Its best to do a deep conditioning with flaxseed, you'll get a better result eating them in salads. A small amount can be used as a protein pack. Not for everyday use 😗 in fact it's used as a furniture cleaner on wood hint hint linseed oil, so it probably dried out your hair.
you can add a few drops of essential oil like rosemary, or argan oil, coconut oil, joboba, even castor oil to your mix. and the leave it in don't rinse it. I love this for my hair. my gair is dry and this puts life back into it. but i dont rinse it out is like using any other hair gel but with benefits.
You should always be putting a leave in conditioner at the very least before applying. I put that in and a curl crème then apply my flax seed gel after. The order you put your products in MATTERS. You need to seal the water in your hair instead of waiting when it’s dry. That prob has a lot to do with why your hair continues to dry out. Your shaft is already closed. I have been using this method for years. My hair absolutely loves it and looks amazing. I haven’t used it in the last two months because I was trying some other things but boy am I missing it! Your hair is high porosity so make sure to put moisture in your hair every time you wash it.
I use it as a leave in conditioner. I wash my hair leave and leave out the conditioner. I dry my hair with a T shirt, and then lather the gel all through my hair scrunching it in, and I do not rinse it out. When it dries my curls are somewhat stiff but crunching all through my hair it breaks the seal and becomes soft and curly. I think the secret is to not wash the gel out. It needs to stay in and dry. I absolutely love that stuff. It does give a lot of volume but amazing defined curls to my normally dry and frizzy hair.
Gigi Do you get shrinkage? I do :( I love the flaxseed gel and thinking about daily coating it on but I been thinking about getting under the dryer for about 30 minutes to dry it faster and hopefully reduce shrinkage, do you get under a dryer or just let it dry naturally?
Hello! OMG you really do have gorgeous hair!! I think the reason why you didn't have the results you were expecting is because putting protein in your hair everyday is not a good thing and can actually be damaging (dry them out). I think you should recreate the experiment but doing it only once a week and making sure that you mosturize your hair in between. ;) Yeah, I think I would try it for sure. Having to dealt with a lot of hair loss and an itchy and dry scalp for a couple of years now, I feel this treatment could really help. Thanks for the share!
I never found thinning shears to work for my thick, coarse, curly hair. It would wreck the haircut the stylist put into my hair. It created a frizzed look to my style with hairs poking out at all different levels.
I have straight hair not curly I do the Flaxseeds gel treatment by massaging my roots for 5 minutes then apply what is needed to the rest of my hair and I leave it on for at least 20 minutes more. I do this once a week, because I like to also apply the Aloe Vera gel treatment at least once a week it has help in growth and healthiness. I wash my hair after with vinegar shampoo or royal jelly shampoo at least twice to remove all the gel off . I don't use conditioner and I have definitely seen results these pass 2 months after Covid. For daily use I think is too much since I have thin hair. You are a gorgeous young lady with such beautiful hair and I hope that your curls have their definition once again 😍 I read the comments and as a style gel seems like a great healthy idea I will try it 🥰 on my grandkids to see how their curly hair looks 💕 thank you for your time and effort of this video. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
This work very well for me I've been using it for a month now I see a lot of growth in my hair so you have to leave it in for the 7 days at least and you will see many results
I leave mine in as a gel , wash out on wash days apply on wet hair ,I also added grape seed oil in it and aloe vera ,my hair is so lovely defining curls and soft and light. I will keep using this if it continues to be like this. Testing for at least a month.
Hi Ariel, my nieces name btw, the discription you gave of your hair means you have HIGH POROSITY hair. It takes in moisture really fast and moisture leaves your hair really quickly. You could try using a SEALANT type oil or product, so your hair will remain moist throughout the day.
I finally found someone with my texture hair. My curls on top are always frizzy. I barely have any curls. I’m trying to find a deep conditioner that’s works well with my hair and without all the harsh chemicals. Looks like Shea Moisture is my go to for right now. 😊
Hun, I have extremely curly hair also. After 20 years of searching. I found Infusium 23 leave in conditioner. It's the ONLY thing I use now. I pour it on wet, comb my hair the way I want it and the don't touch until it's dry. Then once completely dry, crunch it. That changes it from a hard wet look to extremely soft and manageable curls with ZERO frizz.
I have applied flax seed gel several times and everytime I get the same results just like yours. And I always wondered why I always ended up with more scrunchy n frizzy hair where in everyone else is having dreamy soft hair after this gel. You are the only youtuber so far who had the same experience as mine.
Yes everyone’s hair is different so sometimes you don’t get the results you might have been expecting... I know that now too haha. But for what it’s worth - I did refilm this video using it as a regular gel, and the results were amazing! I will link the video for you here in case you want to watch ☺️ czcams.com/video/oCInzQP4mJg/video.html
This looks like a good idea, but I would include an egg and coconut oil to this recipe.🌹 I use an inexpensive pair of hair thinning shears from the dollar tree. I pull up a layer of hair and put the shears at the scalp to thin my thick frizzy hair. My hair is more manageable to style on med heat and I use a t shirt instead of a towel to dry my hair. It makes my hair less frizzy.🌹
Oh no, we can’t put gel in our hair without first moisturizing. Of course using it the way you did dried up your hair. I actually use it more like a veil over the cast or halo of my hair because my hair is thin too. But first I completely moisturize out of the shower. The gel is the last thing I put on. I hope by now you’ve modified how you used it and am enjoying using flaxseed gel. I buy mine in Etsy and it’s already prepared with oils and conditioners and works fantastic. I also use my flaxseed gel pretty watery, I can’t use it when it’s thick at all. You do have great hair!
othos verdes flaxseed oil is a natural substance with no chemicals not like a gel that is man made......your hair is different to our biracial hair so will react differently
nipstur llc brands no its not a styling gel.....flaxseed oil is a healthy natural substance not man made gel with chemicals.....it works great on our biracial hair but yours is a different texture so you would probably need more moisture in your 4c hair
Not supposed to be washed Darling its natural product so wont cause any harm to the hair..but yeah once dried add coconut oil to the ends..the crunchy effect is normal just finger detangle itll feel soft n so nice afterwards
Me too no matter what they will freeze a little, its just our hair type, high porosity strands, moisture will leave quick coz our cuticules are naturally more open
Apply this gel mixing with half boiled rice (plus its remaining water) and aloevera gel. Make paste of these three and then apply to ur hair. It will gv u different look
You have a pleasing nature...i think you are the person who tries to please thier loved ones alot...and want them to stay happy...your life is hard...may god make it easy for you
A BIG THANKS❤❤👌👍🥰🥰🥰 for saying it JUST LIKE IT IS....because, most of the times, all one sees and hears on CZcams are, how Wonderful a product is, thus making me wonder if the viewers are BEING deliberately BAMBOOZLED for "like" clicks!
Thanks for sharing this video!. I have wavy, freeze hair and I’ve been looking for a natural hair styling gel also. I see a video about the flaxseed hair styling gel but didn’t think that’s what I was looking for. You just confirmed it. So thanks again!
Cut the coloured bits outta your hair, it will grow like a dream then.. Your doing brilliant on your hair journey so far. Much love, loved your video ❤️
First u should have wet your hair.. No dry hair application.. Make parts in hair.. And apply it like they apply creams in straightening hair permanently.. After it's application one shouldn't make bun or wrap it.. Leave it in straight ..let it dry like 2 3 hours.. Try for at least 7 days.. Then see results. Thank u.
When it comes to flaxseed gel you need to put oil in your hair before you apply it, I learned the hard way too 😂😩. Trust me it makes a huge difference!
Hi Girl, you should not keep hair mask overnight. This is not going to give you some extra benefits just because you kept it overnight instead 30-40 mins.Girl, you can get extreme headache , sinuses, chills because of the coldness and heaviness. May be not initially but as you kept for such a longer time for few more times you can have the issues I mentioned above. So I recommend you to keep the hair pack for 30_40 hours and wash it off. Love ❣️
1. When u have color you need moisture. Flaxseed is a great way to pop in curls. Mix flaxseed with a butter formula then you will see a big difference.
You need to deep conditioner once a week, for styling use a leaving in conditioner, anti frizz conditioner after that a gel!! It could be that diy flaxseed gel!! Just scrunch, leave hair alone while it dries out, after 100% dry, scrunch out the gel with your favorite light oil. You will have moisturized , defined and beautiful curly hair!!
Thanks for the video! For my hair, Ive learned not to mix natural products I make at home with commercial products. They dont cooperate on my hair. So I wasnt surprised that you werent happy with the result. But I'll use your recipe. I know itll work on my hair.
I guess it's try and error for every hair care. I tried and failed a lot of things but flaxseed gel worked like magic for me. The difference is I left it for 1 hour then after washing, I braided my hair into one or 2 sections and slept overnight. In the morning, my curls were amazing, my hair was stronger and shinier. I am going for a month-long marathon now and see what happens 🤞
I followed yr routine just now. My very first time, it does feels light and the frizz are easily 'tamed' 😂 . I have thinning near my hairline scalps. Hopefully my baby hair grows. My hair seems to 'reject' commercial hair product.
@@mjt9590 Heads up, I don't wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner after every flaxseed treatment but once a week. Just rinse it with water. Let me know your results😊
Hi! Thanks for being so thorough in reporting your results. I watched this video as I was making my flaxseed gel using ground flaxseed for the first time. Next time I'm definitely going to use whole seeds cuz my gel turned out brownish. My hair is platinum white naturally so brown gel is no bueno. I'm gonna use the brown gel as a treatment and make a new batch with whole seeds. Thanks again!
This is really interesting because I really thought that would work. Tbh I'm glad I didn't waste my time trying it. Like you say, makes a bit of difference but not the dramatic results some people get and if it doesn't do much to your hair it won't do much to mine. My hair thinks it's a desert (or dessert) the dry, sandy thing, not the smooth, velvety ice cream...that would be nice.
Nice video. I would definitely add olive oil and one essential oil to the flaxseed application as personally i dont like the smell of olive oil but i love the consistency of the oil.
Just a FYI hair follicle are dead from the moment it grows so no amount of anti-inflammatory would revive it. It’s probably the protein in flax seed that reacts with the protein in the hair. Also is quite possible that all this washing even without shampoo is just taking the natural oil from your hair so a once a week treatment would be a lot more beneficial.
I don’t know how many times I have to say it- it was an experiment. Just for fun. I’m aware it’s high in protein and though I didn’t address it in the video, I’ve addressed it in other comments. Also, I’m a hairstylist and I understand the basics of hair. FYI.
@@stylebyariel GOOD GOD !!! RIIIIGHT... you are beautiful and I appreciate the videos.. I was getting upset at these people like first of all dont need all the rude comments about your EXPERIMENT.. That is the problem with today... no one pays attention .. Anyways!! I am subscribed and getting ALL notifications for your channel love you energy and can't wait to see what you come up with !! BLESSINGS BLESSINGS BLESSINGS!!! BEAUTIFUL, DON'T LET ANYONE STEAL YOUR JOY!!!
Definitely not rinsing it out will help the flax gel work as a gel, and of course using a leave in with your curl cream UNDER the flax gel will help, too. Pretty much just use it as a styled. Thanks for the video on how to make the gel though!
My opinion totatly works, i see the diffrences, like more sofness, shine, little bit growth gair, no frizz, and last more volume, day by day sees result, nice a beautiful hair mask Thanks 👸💫 💞
I buy either Finesse or Pantene Conditioner. I'll wash my hair then apply a decent amount of conditioner on my hair. Starting at the top of my head and working my fingers through my hair down to the ends making sure that my hair is completely coated and tangle free. Then I put my head down and, working from the ends I scrunch my hair towards my scalp. I will scrunch it and let it go and scrunch the same section two or three times. I always keep enough conditioner in my hair that I can hear a squishing sound as I scrunch (If I don't hear a squishing sound, I add more conditioner). I don't rinse it out unless I put way too much. It's a balancing act and it takes some time to learn how much is the right amount. Too much conditioner and your hair will feel heavy and too little conditioner and you will get frizz with no definition. Once my hair is dry, I'll put some Proclaim Olive Oil Glossing Polish (about a quarter size amount) and lightly scrunch again to apply it. Your hair will smell great, look shiny and your curls will look so good! Sally's Beauty Supply sells the Glossing Polish and their price is lower than Amazon.

Loved the hair challenge, you should do more😏👏🏾. I really loved the day you used it as gel I feel like the curls and volume was on another level , that was my favorite day. But using it as just leave in then rinsing it out idk it really helped because it just seemed as if it didn't help define or bring moisture into your hair. Overall great video I love little experiments lol
I wash my hair with soapnut and shikakai soaked water..after blow dry my hair.. i apply this flaxseeds gel mixed with castor oil..and then i treat my hair with a ultrasonic hair tool becuz it helps gel to penetrate 10x deeper into hair shaft..it makes your hair stronger..softer..and gives you great volume..
Thank you for pushing through to complete this video 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I would like to ask, do you feel your hair was softer from using the flax seed gel? And what about maybe leaving it in for only 15 mins, then just rinsing it out (cool water) then 1) letting your hair air dry for the day; Mark the results compared to then on another day 2) after rinsing it out, lightly towel dry your hair, finger style your hair then go. Compare the 2 ways & mark your results.
I hear you should do this two times a week plus cook corn starch and add water, and when you get a creamy look, mix it into the flaxseed gel and add coconut oil or any oil into the mix. It is Supposed to also help with the fuzzy hair. Maybe give this a try and see what you think 🤔
There was nothing wrong with the experiment and the application was on point but you did not do anything to seal in the moisture that you created. Use some kind of natural oil to seal it while the hair is still damp and you'll get better results.
Thanks for the video, I love it. Yea I had all the same experience when I flax seed my hair: the soft, curly and then dry hair. The comments are so helpful. I will diffinately add oil to it this time around. I am about to try flax seed again but this time mixed with shea butter.😁
I have a similar recipe that I haven't tried yet, but it also calls for adding a cornstarch mixture and a little bit of olive oil to be added to the flax seed jelly. Anybody tried that version?
The version of the cornstrach it supposed to be a conditioner u can do it befor shampoing or after it depends on how dry your hair is . It will leave your hair shiny and soft , the cornstrach paste and oil if for not allowing it dry out ! !!!

Your hair is high porosity so make sure to put moisture in your hair every time you wash it.
Low porosity, the fact that it dries near instantly after being wet shows that
I use it as a leave in conditioner. I wash my hair leave and leave out the conditioner. I dry my hair with a T shirt, and then lather the gel all through my hair scrunching it in, and I do not rinse it out. When it dries my curls are somewhat stiff but crunching all through my hair it breaks the seal and becomes soft and curly. I think the secret is to not wash the gel out. It needs to stay in and dry. I absolutely love that stuff. It does give a lot of volume but amazing defined curls to my normally dry and frizzy hair.
I’m gonna try this 🙏🏽
@@stylebyariel cool, let me know how it went 🤗
Filming a video... 🤫
@@stylebyariel cool, I'm looking forward to it!
Gigi Do you get shrinkage? I do :( I love the flaxseed gel and thinking about daily coating it on but I been thinking about getting under the dryer for about 30 minutes to dry it faster and hopefully reduce shrinkage, do you get under a dryer or just let it dry naturally?
Hello! OMG you really do have gorgeous hair!! I think the reason why you didn't have the results you were expecting is because putting protein in your hair everyday is not a good thing and can actually be damaging (dry them out). I think you should recreate the experiment but doing it only once a week and making sure that you mosturize your hair in between. ;) Yeah, I think I would try it for sure. Having to dealt with a lot of hair loss and an itchy and dry scalp for a couple of years now, I feel this treatment could really help. Thanks for the share!
I never found thinning shears to work for my thick, coarse, curly hair. It would wreck the haircut the stylist put into my hair. It created a frizzed look to my style with hairs poking out at all different levels.
I have straight hair not curly I do the Flaxseeds gel treatment by massaging my roots for 5 minutes then apply what is needed to the rest of my hair and I leave it on for at least 20 minutes more. I do this once a week, because I like to also apply the Aloe Vera gel treatment at least once a week it has help in growth and healthiness. I wash my hair after with vinegar shampoo or royal jelly shampoo at least twice to remove all the gel off . I don't use conditioner and I have definitely seen results these pass 2 months after Covid. For daily use I think is too much since I have thin hair. You are a gorgeous young lady with such beautiful hair and I hope that your curls have their definition once again 😍 I read the comments and as a style gel seems like a great healthy idea I will try it 🥰 on my grandkids to see how their curly hair looks 💕 thank you for your time and effort of this video. 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for sharing your routine with us! 🤗❤️
@@stylebyariel you are welcome 🙂
This work very well for me I've been using it for a month now I see a lot of growth in my hair so you have to leave it in for the 7 days at least and you will see many results
I leave mine in as a gel , wash out on wash days apply on wet hair ,I also added grape seed oil
in it and aloe vera ,my hair is so lovely defining curls and soft and light. I will keep using this if it continues to be like this. Testing for at least a month.
Hi Ariel, my nieces name btw, the discription you gave of your hair means you have HIGH POROSITY hair. It takes in moisture really fast and moisture leaves your hair really quickly. You could try using a SEALANT type oil or product, so your hair will remain moist throughout the day.
Softer in beauty supply store. It needs to be mixed with an oil, only a tablespoon or less.
I finally found someone with my texture hair. My curls on top are always frizzy. I barely have any curls. I’m trying to find a deep conditioner that’s works well with my hair and without all the harsh chemicals. Looks like Shea Moisture is my go to for right now. 😊
That was a great experiment you tried for your hair with flax seed. Take care and be safe.Thank you so much for sharing sis. Love you sis.💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ really appreciate you!!
Hun, I have extremely curly hair also.
After 20 years of searching. I found Infusium 23 leave in conditioner. It's the ONLY thing I use now. I pour it on wet, comb my hair the way I want it and the don't touch until it's dry. Then once completely dry, crunch it. That changes it from a hard wet look to extremely soft and manageable curls with ZERO frizz.
I just started that with the shampoo and conditioner, amazing I’m 55 and finally am happy with a product!
I have applied flax seed gel several times and everytime I get the same results just like yours. And I always wondered why I always ended up with more scrunchy n frizzy hair where in everyone else is having dreamy soft hair after this gel. You are the only youtuber so far who had the same experience as mine.
I like your sincerity and truthfulness
Yes everyone’s hair is different so sometimes you don’t get the results you might have been expecting... I know that now too haha. But for what it’s worth - I did refilm this video using it as a regular gel, and the results were amazing! I will link the video for you here in case you want to watch ☺️ czcams.com/video/oCInzQP4mJg/video.html
I experienced the same.I appreciate the sincerity.Can u tell me how many times in a week we should use this gel as u have done it as an experiment?
Hahaha 😂
I think it depends on if you need moisture or protein in your hair.
Hey sweetie don’t beat yourself you did a great job in working out looking for something new again thanks for sharing your Wonderful journey
This looks like a good idea, but I would include an egg and coconut oil to this recipe.🌹 I use an inexpensive pair of hair thinning shears from the dollar tree. I pull up a layer of hair and put the shears at the scalp to thin my thick frizzy hair. My hair is more manageable to style on med heat and I use a t shirt instead of a towel to dry my hair. It makes my hair less frizzy.🌹
Why would you want to thin your hair?
You have to add an oil whether a carrier oil and something like jojoba oil. I use different ones like Almond or Grapeseed oil, even avocado oil
Oh no, we can’t put gel in our hair without first moisturizing. Of course using it the way you did dried up your hair. I actually use it more like a veil over the cast or halo of my hair because my hair is thin too. But first I completely moisturize out of the shower. The gel is the last thing I put on. I hope by now you’ve modified how you used it and am enjoying using flaxseed gel. I buy mine in Etsy and it’s already prepared with oils and conditioners and works fantastic. I also use my flaxseed gel pretty watery, I can’t use it when it’s thick at all. You do have great hair!
Please share where you get it on Etsy! :)
I also moisturize before i use gel! Not a fan of flaxseed gel. I use Daddy gel, its cheap!!
othos verdes flaxseed oil is a natural substance with no chemicals not like a gel that is man made......your hair is different to our biracial hair so will react differently
You’re supposed to use it as a styling products like a gel and then use a leave in conditioner with it and or a curling custard
Some ppl use it for a scalp treatment bc the flaxseed has anti inflammatory properties
nipstur llc brands no its not a styling gel.....flaxseed oil is a healthy natural substance not man made gel with chemicals.....it works great on our biracial hair but yours is a different texture so you would probably need more moisture in your 4c hair
Not supposed to be washed Darling its natural product so wont cause any harm to the hair..but yeah once dried add coconut oil to the ends..the crunchy effect is normal just finger detangle itll feel soft n so nice afterwards
Youneed to add an oil to break the capsule crunch. Grapeseed orolive would work.
Me too no matter what they will freeze a little, its just our hair type, high porosity strands, moisture will leave quick coz our cuticules are naturally more open
Apply this gel mixing with half boiled rice (plus its remaining water) and aloevera gel. Make paste of these three and then apply to ur hair. It will gv u different look
If you leave it in, it will keep your hair from frizzing. You definitely need to add an oil too because flaxseed is full of protein.
You have a pleasing nature...i think you are the person who tries to please thier loved ones alot...and want them to stay happy...your life is hard...may god make it easy for you
A BIG THANKS❤❤👌👍🥰🥰🥰 for saying it JUST LIKE IT IS....because, most of the times, all one sees and hears on CZcams are, how Wonderful a product is, thus making me wonder if the viewers are BEING deliberately BAMBOOZLED for "like" clicks!
Its vety soothing. Makes me calm. And no side effects. Loves it😍
Thanks for sharing this video!. I have wavy, freeze hair and I’ve been looking for a natural hair styling gel also. I see a video about the flaxseed hair styling gel but didn’t think that’s what I was looking for. You just confirmed it. So thanks again!
Ariel,
It helps me avoid crunchiness when I add vegetable glycerin to any gel. If you're not opposed to glycerin, give that a try next time.
Good idea. I use glycerin as apart of a leave in conditioner.
I don’t rinse it out
Cut the coloured bits outta your hair, it will grow like a dream then.. Your doing brilliant on your hair journey so far. Much love, loved your video ❤️
Thank you Mary ❤️ I’m working on it and it’s getting there. Slowly but surely 🙏🏽
@@stylebyariel i hear you girl❤️😘
no the blond looks beautiful in her hair the colour is pretty and has nothing to do with hair growth.........dont listen to that!
First u should have wet your hair.. No dry hair application.. Make parts in hair.. And apply it like they apply creams in straightening hair permanently.. After it's application one shouldn't make bun or wrap it.. Leave it in straight ..let it dry like 2 3 hours.. Try for at least 7 days.. Then see results.
Thank u.
When it comes to flaxseed gel you need to put oil in your hair before you apply it, I learned the hard way too 😂😩. Trust me it makes a huge difference!
Before?? I made a video trying oil on top but I haven’t tried it before 😩
@@stylebyariel Yeah, it makes a difference, sometimes I even mix a little into the gel.
I shampoo my hair with mild shampoo and conditioner after keep the mask over night. I work great
Hi Girl, you should not keep hair mask overnight. This is not going to give you some extra benefits just because you kept it overnight instead 30-40 mins.Girl, you can get extreme headache , sinuses, chills because of the coldness and heaviness. May be not initially but as you kept for such a longer time for few more times you can have the issues I mentioned above. So I recommend you to keep the hair pack for 30_40 hours and wash it off. Love ❣️
@@nayanpune4971 ok. Thanks 😊
Please do not leave the mask overnight. It can be dangerous for your health
1. When u have color you need moisture. Flaxseed is a great way to pop in curls. Mix flaxseed with a butter formula then you will see a big difference.
You look so gorgeous when you open up your hair
You need to deep conditioner once a week, for styling use a leaving in conditioner, anti frizz conditioner after that a gel!! It could be that diy flaxseed gel!! Just scrunch, leave hair alone while it dries out, after 100% dry, scrunch out the gel with your favorite light oil. You will have moisturized , defined and beautiful curly hair!!
I’d combine it with aloe very Gel for extra hydration and maybe rosemary
Thanks for the video! For my hair, Ive learned not to mix natural products I make at home with commercial products. They dont cooperate on my hair. So I wasnt surprised that you werent happy with the result. But I'll use your recipe. I know itll work on my hair.
Ur hair is GORGEOUS....aw, and ur so pretty🤗
Thank you lovely 😌💖
I did head bath with flax seeds today and I got the recommendation of this video. Such a coincidence.
It has nothing to do with the video but you are stunning
Aww you are too sweet. Thank you so much ❤️
I guess it's try and error for every hair care. I tried and failed a lot of things but flaxseed gel worked like magic for me. The difference is I left it for 1 hour then after washing, I braided my hair into one or 2 sections and slept overnight. In the morning, my curls were amazing, my hair was stronger and shinier. I am going for a month-long marathon now and see what happens 🤞
I followed yr routine just now. My very first time, it does feels light and the frizz are easily 'tamed' 😂 . I have thinning near my hairline scalps. Hopefully my baby hair grows. My hair seems to 'reject' commercial hair product.
@@mjt9590 Heads up, I don't wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner after every flaxseed treatment but once a week. Just rinse it with water. Let me know your results😊
Hey! thanks for sharing this. I would definitely try this out.
I didn't read the comments so I'm wondering if someone already addressed this, but why are you renting out your gel?
.... it's really honest review .. ❤️
Thanks for review
Hi! Thanks for being so thorough in reporting your results. I watched this video as I was making my flaxseed gel using ground flaxseed for the first time. Next time I'm definitely going to use whole seeds cuz my gel turned out brownish. My hair is platinum white naturally so brown gel is no bueno. I'm gonna use the brown gel as a treatment and make a new batch with whole seeds. Thanks again!
She looks so cute❤️🤗
You could try adding some of your favourite oils to the gel to help with the hair dryness youve been experiencing
I had the same troubles but worse with the cheese cloth .. the little cheese cloth pouched with the drawstring make it way easier
This is really interesting because I really thought that would work. Tbh I'm glad I didn't waste my time trying it. Like you say, makes a bit of difference but not the dramatic results some people get and if it doesn't do much to your hair it won't do much to mine. My hair thinks it's a desert (or dessert) the dry, sandy thing, not the smooth, velvety ice cream...that would be nice.
I feel you 😂
Nice video. I would definitely add olive oil and one essential oil to the flaxseed application as personally i dont like the smell of olive oil but i love the consistency of the oil.
Ive tried flaxseed for my curls and I had similar results. Instead try chia seed and it might give a better results.... apply it as a gel for the day.
Just a FYI hair follicle are dead from the moment it grows so no amount of anti-inflammatory would revive it. It’s probably the protein in flax seed that reacts with the protein in the hair. Also is quite possible that all this washing even without shampoo is just taking the natural oil from your hair so a once a week treatment would be a lot more beneficial.
I don’t know how many times I have to say it- it was an experiment. Just for fun. I’m aware it’s high in protein and though I didn’t address it in the video, I’ve addressed it in other comments. Also, I’m a hairstylist and I understand the basics of hair. FYI.
@@stylebyariel GOOD GOD !!! RIIIIGHT...
you are beautiful and I appreciate the videos.. I was getting upset at these people like first of all dont need all the rude comments about your EXPERIMENT..
That is the problem with today... no one pays attention ..
Anyways!! I am subscribed and getting ALL notifications for your channel love you energy and can't wait to see what you come up with !! BLESSINGS BLESSINGS BLESSINGS!!!
BEAUTIFUL,
DON'T LET ANYONE STEAL YOUR JOY!!!
@@eeshaw so sweet 😭 thank you so much!! ❤️
you should try the curly girl method. do a final wash and after that apply flaxseed gel!
Great idea!!
can we leave it as a hair gell (like nt washing it) ??
does it smell awful? ?
Hi, though u didn't see results on ur hair but the experiment has definately brought shine on your face and its quite visible in the video.
Definitely not rinsing it out will help the flax gel work as a gel, and of course using a leave in with your curl cream UNDER the flax gel will help, too. Pretty much just use it as a styled. Thanks for the video on how to make the gel though!
No problem, Brittany! Also if you want to see how I use it as regular styling gel, check out this video: czcams.com/video/oCInzQP4mJg/video.html
Literally just wonderful
My opinion totatly works, i see the diffrences, like more sofness, shine, little bit growth gair, no frizz, and last more volume, day by day sees result, nice a beautiful hair mask Thanks 👸💫 💞
I buy either Finesse or Pantene Conditioner. I'll wash my hair then apply a decent amount of conditioner on my hair. Starting at the top of my head and working my fingers through my hair down to the ends making sure that my hair is completely coated and tangle free. Then I put my head down and, working from the ends I scrunch my hair towards my scalp. I will scrunch it and let it go and scrunch the same section two or three times. I always keep enough conditioner in my hair that I can hear a squishing sound as I scrunch (If I don't hear a squishing sound, I add more conditioner). I don't rinse it out unless I put way too much. It's a balancing act and it takes some time to learn how much is the right amount. Too much conditioner and your hair will feel heavy and too little conditioner and you will get frizz with no definition. Once my hair is dry, I'll put some Proclaim Olive Oil Glossing Polish (about a quarter size amount) and lightly scrunch again to apply it. Your hair will smell great, look shiny and your curls will look so good! Sally's Beauty Supply sells the Glossing Polish and their price is lower than Amazon.
Loved the hair challenge, you should do more😏👏🏾. I really loved the day you used it as gel I feel like the curls and volume was on another level , that was my favorite day. But using it as just leave in then rinsing it out idk it really helped because it just seemed as if it didn't help define or bring moisture into your hair. Overall great video I love little experiments lol
Thank you so much girl ❤️❤️❤️
you may want to try distilled water for the gel - it is free of anything that can damage your hair.
Boiling water distills it.
Smells like popcorn....to me it smells like tea😅
I wash my hair with soapnut and shikakai soaked water..after blow dry my hair.. i apply this flaxseeds gel mixed with castor oil..and then i treat my hair with a ultrasonic hair tool becuz it helps gel to penetrate 10x deeper into hair shaft..it makes your hair stronger..softer..and gives you great volume..
Again you look beautiful with Curly hair that’s what you want it and you got it it looks awesome
Thank you for pushing through to complete this video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I would like to ask, do you feel your hair was softer from using the flax seed gel?
And what about maybe leaving it in for only 15 mins, then just rinsing it out (cool water) then 1) letting your hair air dry for the day; Mark the results compared to then on another day
2) after rinsing it out, lightly towel dry your hair, finger style your hair then go.
Compare the 2 ways & mark your results.
I hear you should do this two times a week plus cook corn starch and add water, and when you get a creamy look, mix it into the flaxseed gel and add coconut oil or any oil into the mix. It is Supposed to also help with the fuzzy hair. Maybe give this a try and see what you think 🤔
Try the Flaxseed gel by Softer,, Jamaican black castor & Flaxseed oil styling gel. Hope that helps.
There was nothing wrong with the experiment and the application was on point but you did not do anything to seal in the moisture that you created. Use some kind of natural oil to seal it while the hair is still damp and you'll get better results.
Try egg and avacado for your hair with a little touch of olive oil.. So good
Hi,maybe you could mix it with Shea butter
OMG guurrlll put the gel in a bottle. SO much easier to apply! And try using it as a styling gel and not always as a treatment.
Thanks for the video, I love it. Yea I had all the same experience when I flax seed my hair: the soft, curly and then dry hair.
The comments are so helpful. I will diffinately add oil to it this time around. I am about to try flax seed again but this time mixed with shea butter.😁
Try fine comb after applying the gel. Also try the flaxseed with coconut milk recipe it works.
I appreciate you doing this experiment. It was helpful.
OMG! 3rd day fluffy fro is so cute!
Aww thank you!! I actually really want to try this again, adding it to my list of videos to film soon 🥰
I have a similar recipe that I haven't tried yet, but it also calls for adding a cornstarch mixture and a little bit of olive oil to be added to the flax seed jelly. Anybody tried that version?
The version of the cornstrach it supposed to be a conditioner u can do it befor shampoing or after it depends on how dry your hair is . It will leave your hair shiny and soft , the cornstrach paste and oil if for not allowing it dry out ! !!!
You need to add joboba oil or leave in conditioner to flaxseed jell
