Hi,
I just recently started using the baking soda and water with a ACV rinse. So far so good. I was also looking for a natural hair gel when I read about Flax Seed Gel. Would this be a good gel for my type of hair? I used to have curly, long, thick hair but after having my boys, to much processing/heat and getting older the curl has softened to a wave and is much finer than it used to be so i have resorted to cutting it shorter. I am hoping with switching to natural products, I can do my part to help the enviroment and maybe it will also help my hair to become healthier again. Please let me know if you think FSG is a good match for my hair.
Thanks!!

I just found this post, looking for more information. I’ve been using the gel for about 6 months now – love it! I use it as leave-in conditioner if my hair is damp, or as styling gel the rest of the time. My hair is straight and long, and I use baking soda with a vinegar rinse to wash it.

If I keep it in the fridge, it lasts two weeks at least before its starts to get ‘fragrant.’ On the counter it’s one week.

Thanks for the recipe. I just made my first batch and am excited to try it out! Just wondering, do i need to store it in the fridge? How long should it last?

!!! im gonna go shower right now, i have a batch i just made, i tried straining it right away but it was already too thick. i think the temp was too low but i boiled it too long, one cup of water with two tbsp flax seeds makes about enough for one dose on my hair. i think! lol ill have to go test it out. thank you for all the great suggestions.

clarifyer- i like it use baking soda and water to get my hair and scalp clean, feels good without too much drying.

I just tried this yesterday because my hair is more dry than frizzy and I thought it might help. Wow…that pretty much covers it. My hair looks healthier than it has in years. My daughter said my hair was so soft it felt like rabbit fur. I couldn’t be happier. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

Bianca: Thanks for letting us know about your experiments!

Shirl: I don’t know exactly how much longer EOs will make the gel last, but you’ll know if it’s gone bad — it will smell off.

Sunshine: Good luck!

I’ve been using flax seed gel on my hair for about a week. I absolutely love it. How much longer will it last by adding EOs? I hate to throw it out after a week, and it would be nice to make a bigger batch. Also, can you store it at room temperature if you put in EOs?
