For my curly hair, I like to use a gel to define the curls and prevent my hair from frizzing out in a voluminous mass. I’m not fond of most of the products on the market as they are full of plasticizers and other goo I’d rather not have on my hair.
After a bit of research, I found several pages that discussed gel made from flax seeds and I eventually found a few recipes for it. Since I don’t plan on making this for sale, I’m happy to share my personal experiences and concoction with you.
