Beauty benefits of healthy flaxseed gel

2/10

What is a flaxseed gel?

A type of healthy seed that has a reputation as a functional food has been used for centuries in the segment of beauty and health. Rich in protein, antioxidants, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed gel can be made by cooking flax seeds that release natural oils in a gelatinous form that can be applied to hair for better quality.

How to make it?

Step 1: Add some flaxseeds with water in a pan and simmer on medium heat
Step 2: Stir it to avoid sticking and turn off the heat after 5 minutes. Stir it again and let it cool off.

How to use it?

Step 1: Always use it like a hair mask. Take a small amount of the gel in your hands and massage it directly into your hair.
Step 2: Leave it for 15 minutes and then rinse your hair with a shampoo and conditioner.

How long does the gel last?

Always make the flaxseed gel in small batches and store it in your fridge for 1 week at the most. You can then create the next lot for another whole week.

Notice these changes

If you smell rancid, immediately throw them out. Also, if you have low porosity hair then blend in coconut oil or aloe vera gel with your flaxseed gel that may weigh your hair down.
