Step 1

Add the water to a small saucepan and boil it.

Step 2

Once boiling, add the flaxseeds to the boiling water and lower the heat. Keep heating over medium heat until the water starts thickening up and getting frothy.

Step 3

When the water has thickened slightly, strain out the seeds using a metal sieve or other strainer. Work quickly as the gel will thicken as it cools, making it hard to strain.

Step 4

Optionally, add essential oils to your DIY flaxseed hair gel for fragrance.

Step 5

Store in the fridge for maximum storage time. Throw away and make a new batch when the gel starts to get cloudy, or after 10 days, whichever comes first.

Step 6

Flaxseed hair gel can be applied to wet or dry hair. Some people also like to apply it to skin for its nourishing qualities.
