Understand the power of flaxseeds

Flaxseeds are tiny powerhouses disguised as ordinary seeds. When boiled, they release a gel-like substance composed mainly of omega fatty acids, protein, and vitamin E. Think of it as nature’s own haircare treatment, free from complicated and hazardous chemicals. This natural mucilage holds the texture of your locks, increases blood circulation, and improves the hair growth rate. Let’s see 7 homemade flaxseed hair gel recipes perfect for achieving long and luscious locks.

2/8

Flaxseed and aloe vera

If you wish for extra moisture and long locks, this should be your go-to recipe. Perfect for beginners who want to test the waters in haircare before getting creative, they should opt for the combination of aloe vera gel with flaxseed gel. Take ¼ cup of flaxseeds and 2 cups of water and create a gel-like texture. Add 2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel to your strained flaxseed gel and apply this to your locks once a week.

Flaxseed and essential oil

Just add 10 drops of rosemary essential oil to your basic gel, which will stimulate blood circulation to the scalp and support healthy hair growth. This growth-boosting combination stimulates the follicles and is often considered a hit. But start with a patch test for essential oils first, and then apply to your scalp.

4/8

Flaxseed and vitamin E

You need to directly pierce 3 vitamin E capsules and blend them with your gel. This is no less than a powerhouse of antioxidants, which helps protect and strengthen your hair strands. The combination improves the overall elasticity of your gel and protects the strands from heat and dirt as well. This combination also extends the gel’s shelf life naturally.

Flaxseed and honey gel

Take 1 tablespoon of raw honey and warm it slightly. Honey is a natural humectant that controls the frizz and provides an overall balanced moisture to the scalp. With its frizz-fighting power, honey locks in moisture, providing natural shine and softness. Just 1 tablespoon of each, and you’ll see the magic unveil.

Flaxseed with water

This go-yo recipe is perfect for all hair types. Just add your flaxseeds to 2 simple cups of water to create the natural gel texture. Apply this to your strands and keep it for an hour. This is perfect for curly-to-straight locks and is an elixir for first-time users who wish to style their hair every day or are fighting intense frizz.

Flaxseed and coconut oil

Simply blend 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil into your flaxseed gel to create a nourishing treatment paste perfect for natural hair. This deep conditioning gel will add shine and boost your hair growth cycle. However, don’t leave it on for too long to avoid weighing hair down.

8/8

Flaxseed and apple cider vinegar

This combination balances the scalp’s pH and reduces dandruff and itchiness. From balancing the pH level to clarifying properties, this combo also improves the shine and reduces buildup caused by oil and dirt. You simply require 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and add it to your flaxseed gel to see the change.
