A.K. Salzr: That is insane. I grew up in Mexico and my mom would apply this to me and my sister's hair every day before school and let it dry out. It would harden like hairspray (it was cheaper). My hair was super silky, shiny and pinned straight. I later moved to the US and this habit was lost. Flax seeds did not become widely available in the US until recent years. I always thought that my hair was commercial quality because I was I kid. Now I know why. I'm going to pick up on this again!

DevineFood: Can we appreciate how amazingly created this video is.

SaphireS28: Here in Mexico it's called Linaza, and it's a very common ingredient in home made gel, it's super hydrating so curly girls should use it right after the shower and then let dry, when already dry scrunch it to break the cast. You will have the most shiny curls. The recipe to use it like gel is: 1 cup of water, 4-6 spoons of the seed, and let it boil and keep mixing like the girl, until its sticky enough, you can adjust the time to have it more liquidy or more dense. You can add rosemary as a natural conservative too, or cinnamon. Filter it, let it cool, put it in a glass container if you have one, and store it in the fridge. It lasts about a month, and I hope this helped someone ☺️❤️

Artisanよぞら: I just absolutely love how funny her videos are. She tries to make it as aesthetic as possible but is just herself. She even makes the chaotic parts aesthetic which just makes it funnier Your videos are great, Brenda

Visible: I like this video. It’s quick, it caught my attention, she didn’t talk to much for like hours before the video even starts, she told us a fun fact about the seeds and the results where GLORIOUS! Lol.

fluffytomato: I love how quickly this video went, with lots of snappy info and gorgeous aesthetic shots! Not like the usual influencer video which contains lots of boring rambling

Khushi Kathuria: I love how you dont try to tell us, “THIS MASK WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE”!! Instead, you test it out and let the results speak for themselves! Love that :)

Alyssa Girgis: I've been using this for over 2 years and you don't need to wash it out. It's water soluble so you won't get a buildup. the next morning you don't see it. you also get better results when you apply it to damp hair. (more shiny). You don't need to apply alot. I find this gels saves you from frizz when you are in high humidity environments like going to the beach.

Siobh siobh: I did this ONCE so far on my wavy, dry, damaged hair and the results are INSANE!!!! My hair looks amazing I can't wait to do this again

Iceechibi: I’ve used this on my wavy hair routine as my gel-cast! It holds sooooo well and gets a good cast. When I scrunch out the crunch, my waves look very beautiful. And it’s cheap!

1fancygirl: My grandma and her sisters did this (with flax) to make "hair set" in the 1930s/40s. My great grandpa grew flax on his farm.

vafranklin22: The outside shower with the tropical trees looks like HEAVEN (humidity or not haha)

The homemaker Style Corner: Let's take a moment to appreciate the editing skills and the way this video has been shot ❤

Tiffany Agard: I used a flaxseed gel/rosemary tea spray for 1 year to encourage growth on bald spots from lupus. It worked!

Mats RB: I tried this on my wavy/curly hair and it has worked wonders. I’ve always had these weird sections of frizz on the top of my head that felt like literal horse hair but after using this for about 2 weeks I can say that they are minimized to a few hairs. It also kinda weighs my curls down to waves and moisturizes my hair. Whenever I don’t use the flax seed gel I immediately notice that my hair is much frizzier and less soft.

VH27: IT WORKED. wtf- my hair feels so smooth and looks so shiny, it's just beautiful and the fact that my hair became so smooth in just a single-use, is just amazing, thanks a lot, Brenda!!! new sub alert!❤❤❤

A Touch of Yaz: Very interesting to see how other people/communities use flax seed gel. The natural hair community uses it to style our hair. I’ve never even considered using it as a treatment/mask. Thanks for sharing !!!

blubbmillysings: My tip: Cook it rather liquidy (middle gooey) strain out the seeds. That way it is easier to strain out the seeds and get the juice out. Let it simmer to thicken.

Evalina: She edited this so well. It's somehow so cute and informative :)

Li H: This is common in Mexico especially amongst curly girls. However I’ve known to add a few drops of vitamin E oil (to preserve and also avoid flakes when it dries) then apply it on wet hair and DO NOT TOUCH until it dries and when it dries you squeeze, press or scrunch out the hard coating ✨

Gabriela Vargas: This is what my great grandmother's used in Mexico as hair gel. My mom used to use this also on my y sisters and my hair as gel. It works amazingly and it makes hair really shiny.

Z M: The part about sleeping with the gel : sleeping with wet hair definitely contributes to breakage because of the hair becoming swollen and filled with water, softening it, in a way. Loved the video

Nazrin Ramli: Hi, Brenda. I have been using this recipe for almost 3 weeks now and it works on my wavy hair, which is the length of half my face (just touching my nose, not that long, I know). Before this, I've applied so many products to straighten my hair which have caused it severe damage, I'd say. It was flat, frizzy, and desert-dry (even more so when I shampoo). I determine to get back my wavy, lush, high-volume hair, so I use this recipe, but with a twist, I blend all the mixture for easy application plus some aloe vera. Thank god, and you for this recipe. I'm loving it!!

Acacia: I actually make this as a gel for my curls- apply when wet, style/diffuse as usual. I only wash it out when I need to wash my hair again. That one bottle would give me MANY uses, but my hair is shorter and you don't need to drown your hair in it when it's only used to set the curls. I was shocked at how soft it felt when applying to my hair for the first time. My hair felt like seaweed.

LavenderDust: I use it almost every night and then I apply a few drops of almond oil when my hair is still damp, it's my secret for retaining length and keeping it from breaking. It's also very good to do a similar treatment with rose water instead of flaxseed gel, it really helps brittle hair like mine, I love raw, plant based haircare so much, it did so much more for me than professional products did

Ritika Dey: I have been using Fenugreek seed both it the water and the leftover as paste, for like years. I had a very bad hair and scalp, which is improving. I would love to try this as well. Natural ingredients work far far better than any conditioner available in the market.

opal lunar: Ground flax seeds served as a tea is very good for stomach acid and minor stomach ulcers. Been drinking it, its gross af not as bad as peptac but it really helps in soothing the stomachache from ulcers. Gonna give this a try on my hair sometime

Andra R: Since I've seen this video (3 or so weeks) I used flaxseed gel every two days. I always had to choose between shiny healthy hair that appeared glued on scalp and hair with some volume with hairspray and teasing that made it look fried, but now my hair is super shiny, it got longer and the volume is great! Also I don't have to wash it that frequent anymore, which is a big plus, I really recommend this! Thank you!

Timo Gloor: It doesn't have to be as thick haha. Flaxseed gel is the one and done product i use for my curly hair. I've tried many products but everytime I go back to flaxseed gel I wonder why I even spent money on any products haha. I always add a small shot of apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt to the fresh made gel and then fill it into soap dispensers. I discovered that it holds up much longer, like 3 months and it's still good.

Camila Vesia: My grandma used to make this for me as gel for my curls, it was miraculous and my hair was so shiny and pretty

Brianna Bernes: I love flax seed gel and use it to twist and coil my hair. There’s no need to wash it out and it won’t leave any residue. It’s easy to make, natural, and you can save a lot of money by using flax seed instead of buying hair gels that might damage your hair.

killbill: This vid is great! Love the short and straight up evaluation. Any other creator would make this 25 mins long! Thanks I love all the information and that you just got to the point❤

Ailura Shia: It's also good to add to bath if someone has a really dry skin (I have atopic one) It doesn't need to be the whole bath but just as amount of a pot. (You can always adjust if you need more or less)

Los fermentos del bosque: Hi Brenda!! I love your videos!! I am also experimenting with lots of herbs and things we have at home to prepare my hair cosmetics. I heard about HIBISCUS FLOWER AND LEAVES and from now I just used them as shampoo once and it was quite decent. I was wondering if you could make a video about using hibiscus flower for a week and how your looks like after that - because your hair is similar to mine -! Cheers!

Ruchika Agarwal: I'm glad that Youtube recommended me this channel! Super fun editing and good tips is all I want in a video.❤

Sigrid *: How did you just make my day! You’re just so enjoyable to listen to. I’m working on moving my fam to PR so I am going to need this. Normally I just put my hair up but with this I can rock the locks however I want. Thank you for this! !

Useful Things: I've been using this for a while now and the anti frizz clarity was visible since the first use.

Tarannum Khan: I discovered your videos last night and binged on all of them. Your presentation, length of the video and the contents, everything is just on point. I found your videos to be super informative and fascinating. It's a request from the bottom of my heart, even in future please put honest contents that people can rely on as you are doing now, and don't become like other people who are talking craps just for the sake of money. I love your personality and your smile... It's so adorable. You are so effortlessly funny, trust me I mean it as a compliment. Thank you for making me smile. Keep up the work, waiting for more videos eagerly.

Luly Garcia: Hola Brenda, fijate que mi hermana lo use cociendo la linaza con romero y lo usa para peinar a mis sobrinas sin removerlo...lo usa como gel para peinar. Y tienen el pelo super bonito. Por cierto, ayer me encontre tu canal y me encanto. ♡

Life of Yooms: OK! So I've been using the flaxseed gel for 2 weeks and I AM LOOOOVING my hair! My hair used to be so thin, dry and damaged! And now!! It LOOKS and feels SO healthy!! Thank you so much for this!!

Sara White: Using an immersion blender helps break up the gel and make application easier. I also soak mine in a half cup of rose water before boiling as it helps with the smell. Adding aloe gel or marshmallow root can also help with dry hair.

Buddha Piyao: flaxseed gel also brings glow to your skin. try this, flaxseed gel, few drops of glycerine and few drops of pure almond oil or virgin coconut oil. add the glycerine and oil when the flaxseed gel is still a bit warm and shake the jar well so that it all gets mixed well. gently massage this on your damp skin after shower (basically use it as after shower moisturizer) everyday. in about 15 days your skin will shine like satin.

Aarthy palanivelu: I have tried flaxseed once. I could feel my hair have become soft and as you said it's added a volume. You become my inspiration for haircare routine. Keep doing more !! Love from india

lareda Wilder: Florida girl here and I use flaxseed gel daily to feed my hair and scalp. The sun can be hard on hair and flaxseed gel heals the sun damage

M. Never: First time seeing your channel. This video is so well done & well edited!!! I was surprised to look down see less than a million subs. Definitely an underrated queen

Janet White: My grandma and great grandma did this all the time. I deep condition with it. Most naturals use this as part of their hair journey. It's an age old hair remedy.

Miriam Vance: You are so fun and genuine! I wasn’t expecting to love this video as much as I did!!

kiwi7aussie7addict: Thanks so much for your amazing content, Brenda! *-* I tried it out today on my hair and my mum's, but got lots of white residue in my hair even after two washes. It's still very tangled, I don't know how to get rid of the flakes... But I have to say that my flaxseed gel was very thick, do you think it's the reason? Thank you again <3

Amy-Beth Taylor: I have curly hair, and I use this to leave in after I wash my hair.. until the next wash. It is AMAZING.

Jiexi Ai: I LOVE that you did a natural hair video! Hair should be about your best beautiful, no matter what type you have! I'm going to get some flaxseed soon!!

Doe: This is all I use and all I need. My hair is super curly, super mositurized. I put castor oil, tea tree oil and peppermint oil in mine. It's beyond amazing.

Violet Iiko: I avoid the straining part by putting the flaxseeds in large teabags when boiling it in water. Works well enough :)

Ghofrane Zirouh: I love how your videos are always straight to the point

Texican American: Your hair looks AMAZING!!! The flax gel results remind me of the co-wash that I use. Honestly, this absolutely would be a better solution than a regular cream rinse or co-wash. There is nothing better than showering outdoors in the nude...

Mr Yol: I used the flax seed gel from the last vid you uploaded and I’m in loveee with my hair thank you so much for your fun yet helpful vids you are the only YouTuber I actually trust

Jo Meraki: Why is your video so perfect. It's like a celebrity review add for a high end produce. You're cute, funny, the right amount of corny. I've never seen or heard of you before but this wasvwhat I needed to start my morning. Good morning from Trinidad & Tobago ❤❤❤

Tchiki G: Actually you do not need to rinse it! I have curly hair, and i have been using flaxseed gel as a hair mousse (i think its called like that?). I apply some to my locks (not as much as the video, just any amount you would with a styling gel). It works like charm for me! No frizz and great and bouncy curls!

Salla Karimies: Is flax seed gel the best hair treatment of all these that you have tried? Have you tried also alle vera gel and which of these two do you find better?

Pooja: I vouch this! Been applying it diligently for months now and the effects are extraordinary. My hair is shining like gloss

Jordan Harrell: Did some research and found out that this is the same thing as linseed mucilage, which is the primary ingredient in Lush’s Marilyn hair mask. Will def be using this since it’s way cheaper.

x3sunflowerx3: I am amazed at the incredible results! How often would you apply this mask in a month? And do you still notice the same shine and smoothness when you stop using it daily?

Shari: I like seeing someone without curly hair using this. Cause I recommended it to my straight or wavy haired friends but they look all weird at me saying it wont be good for them. Now I can show them this video! They dont need to use it for styling but its still good for health!

Equinox: Straight to the point, love that Edit: omg the result is amazing

hairexplained: It looks like you're having lots of fun, I love your positive energy! Flax seed gel is my favorite humectant, I use it as a base before oiling to seal in the hydration

Gerri Miller: I love making flaxseed gel at home. It's really silky amazing when i braid or twist my 3c African American coarse hair. The comb simply glides through. It's growing my hair also

Zamzam: KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORKK Bredena!!! I've been a fan of you for about 2 years now. I love your videos I just wish you can make more since im missing your awesomeness in each videossss I go bk and re-watch so many videos and see the results! I hope you come back soon. Also when watching this video I wanted to ask how to have the hair not smell from the Oils, or coconut oil/ and all these masks, Because i do so much diys like Aloe vera and many oils like henna oil, almond oil, funugreek oil, rosemary oil,etc and then my hair would smell from the funugreek and coconut oil no matter how many times i wash my hair. and even the conditioner before shampoo method. I hope I get a response to my question THANK YOU LOVE YOU!!

Felix Cat: I use it as a mask before shampooing and also keep a little rest to apply after as a leave in, which completely replaced using a conditioner for me!! Combined with a gentle solid shampoo I found my zero waste alternative that works perfectly for my wavy medium length hair❤️

ツueta: i used to use it as a gel to keep my curls after washing, but now seeing this makes me wanna go and try it again

Nzkiwigirl: Works for me, I have curly hair and gets frizzy. Curls are defined soft and bouncy

Monique Caton: My father had to raise four children in the '60s by himself. He did not know what to do with the two youngest hair so he just let it grow. He used flax seed oil on our hair and our hair was always trimmed off at our knees. You do have beautiful hair!

loladaylight: this flaxseed gel should be used for hair styling, especially people with curly hair use it (e.g. instead of buying one at a drugstore)

Krista NC Barril: I make flax gel and use it as my hair gel! I love it because after it dries, crunch and scrunch, my hair is silky shiny and soft!

P҉ainKIᒪᒪᗴᖇᔕ♡︎: I totally LOVE how you cut your Videos, and how informative they are. This is REAL Quality. Love your content. Always happy to see you

Mawufeyayra Ama Akubia: Luuuuuuv the energy you briiiing!! Very concise and filled with so much great info. Getting my flaxseeds ASAP

StarFire's home: I have curly and course hair. Someone told me about Flaxseed oil. Everytime I use it in my hair it becomes so soft and shiney. So I can only imagine that the gel works just as well.

Kara Killam: Was the first application applied to clean or dirty hair? Also do you use shampoo after this mask is complete? Or should we just avoid shampoo altogether? :) Love this video, thank you!!

missmayflower: If you lightly grind the seeds so nutrients can be absorbed, you can eat them on your oatmeal, yoghurt or salads and they are a really good source of Omega oils and fibre.

Grace Flickinger: ***SUGGESTION FOR A NEW 1-WEEK CHALLENGE*** You hair looks amazing!!! Definitely going to try this one. I'm also really into DIY beauty, and stopped using soap and shampoo last April. I've seen a significant increase in volume and hair growth. I was actually recording the results for a while, and my hair now grows about 10-15% faster. I say all this to suggest a new week-long challenge: replacing shampoo and conditioner with arrowroot powder and an apple cider vinegar rinse. I like to make mine with ACV, green tea, Epsom salts, Dead Sea salts, and purified water. I've been doing this for over a year, and my hair feels like it was spun by Rumpelstiltskin himself. Thank you so much for spreading your light through another awesome video!!!! Looking forward to the next.

Anasonyc: My grandma uses the gel as a face mask every now and then. It's got something of an instant rejuvenation effect; tightens up the skin and such. Never occurred to me to try it on my hair! Great video, btw. Informative, straight to the point and fun!

Cc Verdera: Just bought some flaxseeds. They should be here in 2 days. Will update ya’ll on how this works for me! I hope I get results like her because she seriously looks like she walked out of a Pantene commercial

RdomS: Thank you so much for this video!!!!! I tried this and can I just say, my hair has NEVER ever taken so well to anything I have tried to put in it before! I let the gel stay in my hair and didn't wash it out. But just WOW. Literally I think I will stop buying hair products and continue using this until my hair decides to switch up on me again. I have high porosity, 3b/3c curls that is extremely damaged from PP, coloring and bleach. With the first use my hair yes was crunchy when it dried but I didn't mind that. But also the frizz! I have NEVER had anything take away frizz the way this did to my hair. My curls are super frizzy when dry, even living in on the East coast during winter. After the crunch started to go away my hair was super soft and shiny with volume. This last well for almost 3 days for me. I just am in shock to what I saw with the first use. Again no products have ever done this to my hair. Literally love you so much for this video thank you!!!!

Bhavna Verma: U can put this gel on your hair after a hair wash when your hair is wet, when it dries it gives a light cast that u can break with massaging your hair. It works good too.

Afaf: I use it after shower to style my curly hair, I would never change it. cheap and beneficial. Better then any product I've used in the past.

Sphurti: This video is so well done from the editing to the script

Niya Mahure: Just strain the gel when it's hot with any steel strainers.. don't need to squeeze it.. it will save time and energy..

Huda Love: I love it for my curly hair & have been using it for "wash n go" for years. it leaves hair moisturized, shiny & is a great styler and gel. i'm intrigued in comments that it has been used in mexico traditionally. i know many Afro textured hair women use it.

Esther: I use flaxseed gel for my vintage wetsets at night. It hold my curls and I love the feeling of it.

Bimsy M: Thank you for the reminder! Almost forgot about it. I used it before, but been very in to oil scalp massage and rice water in my desperation to make my hair grow. I think it's good to variate the methods once in a while.

Adalis: I'm new here but she's so down to earth and funny without trying , I am definitely a new subs

Milen Belai: Very informative and I love your presentation- Right to the point with sense of humour.

Lee Varona: Reminds me to make some more! Worked awesome for me too with volume and also must have some nice ph level bc I didn’t have to wash my hair for days and normally have oily hair!

m r: I want to try this now. I recently tried the fermented rice water remedy, but the hair application is 2x a week. Your results turned out great by doing it everyday!

L ia: I used to mix the gel with a few drops of olive oil and applied it the same was you did. it gave so much softness and reduced frizz .

Ashwini Amin: I tried this for 7 days daily and I'm happy with the results as I have dry frizzy hair it worked well. thank you so much ❤️

Nisha Shah: This seems promising So can we use the gel on our hair once a week for two months? Also, does this work for curly hair? I have dry, frizzy and short curly hair, so should I just apply this and wash off with water or use it as a gel after hairwash? Would be great if you could answer. Thanks in advance!! :)

SilverQuill: Okay... I'm finally trying this, and I'll (try to) update with any changes I notice for a week. Before I start : I have waist length type 2A hair, which becomes more like 2C at the very tips. I'm from a very humid, tropical area, so frizz and hair fall have been a lifelong issue. I usually tend to have flaky dandruff in winters for some reason. I don't use any special masks or conditioners usually, simply coconut oil massage once a week. I also shampoo once a week on Sundays (lol my haircare regime is pretty bleak :') Day 1 : the most difficult part was making the gel. I was almost in tears by the time I got to the end lol. What I noticed was that the gel thickens SO SO quickly that it's best if you turn off the heat at the stage when it's just very runny mucus like, the consistency of sugar syrup, and NOT go till the egg white stage, because then by the time you cool it, it'll be a thick clump of gel and totally useless ;-; Applying it was fairly easy, I used it on dry hair (shampooed the day before), before my shower. Put on a shower cap and waited for about 45 min. Rinsed it off with plain water, NO shampoo. Now, here comes the catch: after letting my hair air dry, I started combing, and I noticed there were.....flakes. Tiny, numerous dandruff like flakes which accumulated at the end, when I finished combing from the top. I'm not sure whether it was because of insufficient rinsing? I rinsed and massaged out the gel for a fair 10 minutes, and surprisingly there was no slime while washing, something I was expecting, because I thought re wetting the gel covered hair would make it slimy again? But no, there was none of that, just a slick feeling, the kind you have during washing out conditioner. I will admit, my hair felt a LOT softer after the first wash and while combing. Frizz was fairly reduced, which surprised me. It didn't leave my hair greasy or stiff, and the only problem was the flakes at the end, and I'm wondering if that'll continue to accumulate as I go on further. So....that was it for day 1, let's see what happens next :')

Beatrice Ladouce: Yeahhh!!!y queen finally did it! Well I'm 5 days late but my hair just cannot live without flaxseed. It softens and adds sooo much shine!

Assbat 1: I love this thank you so much for being a hair guinea pig. I am definitely going to do this. My hair is highly damaged from years of bleaching and coloring.

Scaly Soul: I drink ground flaxseed in my daily health concoctions, but I've never tried it topically on hair or skin! I would like to try this.
