What'S up guys, so I first uploaded my flaxseed gel video, my original one in 2010, and that was my second DIY that I ever uploaded to my channel. It'S crazy! It'S been seven years since I uploaded the first one, but I've always wanted to update it. For you guys, cuz I've been making it different for years now I just haven't had a chance to and I'm about to upload my updated, washing go video. I actually have a couple related to my washing gos, and so I figured it'd be a really great opportunity to update you guys on how I've been making my flexi jug. Now, since I do use it in my washing, goes, it's very similar to the old way. It'S just kind of a lazier way to make your flaxseed gel. I came up with it by pure accident. I actually don't put anything in my flaxseed gel anymore either you can, if you want to, of course, but as of right now, I'm just like it. It works and flexy gel if you've never used, it is so moisturizing for your hair is literally the best gel. I have ever used for my hair and I tried a bunch of different gels, and so when I went back to flaxseed gel, I was just like. Why did I ever leave? Why always moisturize and helps define my hair? This is a really old, washing goal by the way and as you're, making this and you're extracting the gel. You will feel all that moisture in your hands and, as you feel it in your hands, just imagine what it's doing for your hair. Okay, it's all about the moisture, so yeah. If you never tried flaxseed gel, you will definitely love it. It is amazing. This is definitely a lazy girl way to make it as a making it for years, and this gives me literally the perfect gel consistency every single time so before when I used to make it. I would either boil it too long or or not long enough, and it would either be way too thick or way too thin and not jelly enough and the way that I do it now. I literally get the same texture every single time and it's perfect. So this is how to make perfect flaxseed gel every single time. I don't think you can mess up on this recipe in this routine. It'S just so simple and the other good thing about it is that you're not burning your hands. So I remember when I used to make flexi gel back in the day I used to burn my hands every single time. I would make it and that was so annoying and not fun, and now you don't burn your hands at all. So I hope you guys enjoy this updated, easy, perfect, flexi, gel every single time recipe, and I will see you after all right, so I'm medium-high heat grab a small sauce pot and we're gon na fill this with our desired amount of water. Now I never measure this I just eyeball, but for those who, like measurements, I probably used about 600 milliliters of water next grabbing whole flax seeds not ground, not roasted, just regular whole flax seeds, I'm gon na add these to the pot again. I just eyeball this, but for those who, like measurements, it's a little more than one quarter cup of whole flax seeds, give it a quick mix to make sure that all those flax seeds are submerged and now we're gon na. Let this boil whoa: okay, it'll boil pretty quickly, so when it starts getting vigorous, just give it a good stir, making sure those flax seeds aren't sticking to the pan and we're gon na check the consistency. What we're looking for is a thick string of flax seed mucus. I know it sounds gross, but this is still completely liquidy, so we're gon na let this boil just a little bit more okay. So about 10 minutes later, let's check it again. I give it a stir and oh yeah: we've got a little mucus trail in there. That'S exactly what we're looking for. We just need one trail of that flax, seed, mucus to form and that's how we know that it's good to go so next we turn off the heat and we're gon na. Let all this liquid sit in the pot. This is gon na give the liquid time to thicken up on its own. It'S gon na congeal and thicken all on its own naturally and that'll make it a nice, even consistency, so let it sit on its own for a bit 30 minutes to 1 hour is ideal, but you can leave this on the stove sitting there for much longer. If you want to after about 40 minutes, your perfect gel has formed, you will literally get consistent results. Every single time, following this method, a more true to form gel it'll, be a nice and smooth thick and even texture and consistency and best of all the product will be nice and cool to the touch. So no more fumbling with hot liquids and gels or trying to avoid third-degree burns check out that consistency. Everything is the same texture and the same thickness. It'S just it's just beautiful all right the extraction step. I still use these cheap and knee-high nylons that I find at my local drugstore they're about 50 cents, each and cuz there's two in each package. It ends up being a really cheap solution and you can also watch them after making your gel. If you want to get more uses out of them and save more money, I know some people also like to use cheesecloth for this, just use anything that you can squeeze and that will also act like a strainer so grabbing a large cup or jar place. The pantyhose over the opening and then pour all of that flexi gel into the pantyhose. That'S inside the cup, all right release the pantyhose from the cup and we're just gon na use our hands to squeeze all that gel out, no need for tongues or anything else. Because this gel is nice and cool, so just squeezing out all that perfect gel, and usually I do this right back into that pot that I used to boil it because the opening is larger. But I want to use this clear jar for the video so that you guys could see it, but just an FYI if you do squeeze it back into the pot you're able to get a little bit messy air and it's a little less restricted. So also a quick tip if you find that you left your gel out for hours and now it's way too thick to even get it through their panty hose. It'S not a big deal. Just add a little bit of water to your gel in the pot mix. It in with your hands - and it's gon na loosen that gel back up so that it can squeeze through your panty hose. But again, if you stick to the 30-minute to one hour mark, you won't have that problem. So now we squeezed every last bit of that gel out of those flax seeds and check out this perfect texture, I'm seriously obsessed with flax seed gel. It'S amazing look at that super. Even super smooth texture has great hold and spring back. That'S gon na make a great gel for your curls and here's our bag of seeds afterwards. Alright, so just pour the gel into an applicator bottle which is going to make it easier to extract and apply and here's your final product a perfectly thick and smooth flaxseed gel consistency every time not too thick, not too thin, now just apply it to your hair And style, like normal, I use my flaxseed gel for this washing go again. This is old. This is a day for washing go. I need to wash it, but you can still see that I have really good definition. I'M gon na be updating you guys next time how I do my washing goes using my foxy, Jo, of course. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I will see the next one.
Comments
Naptural85: Quick FAQs on this Gel: #1: Store in fridge ONLY [Not shelf stable at all, unless you add a preservative] #2: This will last me 2 GOOD weeks before I start sniffing around to make sure it didn't go bad.
Dr. Nabors: Suggestion: To make for easy separation of gel and seeds, place seeds in a metal strainer that sits perfectly in the pot without being held. Pour hot water over the seeds into the pot until the seeds are submerged in the water. (pouring already hot water over the seeds allows the boiling time to speed up). Bring to a boil and look for the thick mucus to form. I usually separate them right away because then I don't have to smash the seeds into the strainer to separate the remainder of the gel from the seeds. but allowing them both to sit for a while is fine also. Pour the gel into the desired container and allow to cool down. Easy separation, less messy, no panty hoes needed, easy clean up.
pg: - on medium high heat put 600ml of water in a pot - add 1/4 cup whole flaxseeds into pot - mix flaxseeds around so all of them are submerged in the water - bring pot to a boil - when it starts foaming up like crazy give it a good stir - turn off heat once you see the gel like consistency - let the gel sit in the pot for 30 minutes to 1 hour - boom, you just made flaxseed gel
Mariem Mattoussi: Tip: don't throw away the seeds, it still has a lot of gel in it and the seeds make it even better for a face mask, or any other spot. Leave it untill it dries then wash it out. It evens tones/color and makes your skin suuuuuuper smooth and bright
Ann Dee Cosita: I’ve been making this gel for 8 or 9 years. It can be used on any hair type. The consistency depends of the seed to water ratio and boiling time I add essential oils. I like mine somewhat watery. It works well over my leave in and only flakes if I am heavy handed. I use a metal strainer because I’m not about that pantyhose thing. The downside is you have to refrigerate it and you have to use it up pretty quickly because it will go bad after about two weeks. I make only enough for four uses. Another con is You can’t really travel with it. There are commercial gels by Aunt Jackie, Jason, and on Etsy made with flaxseed but of course they have other stuff to preserve. FSG is by far the CHEAPEST gel you can use. So when people try to say being natural is expensive I say that is not a given because it depends on how you choose to spend your money. Also you can NOT use ground flaxseeds to make this. If you put the boiled flaxseeds in a Tupperware container with a lid you can store it. Then you can boil them again later using half as much water as the first time and yield more gel. With a bag of flaxseeds being about $4 like I said super cheap.
Irai Rod: For those who do not use metric: *2 cups water and 1/4 cup whole flax seeds* will give you the results shown here. I follow a similar technique (medium-high "boil" for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally) however, I find it much easier (less messy, too) to strain the still piping hot gel through a METAL sieve into a large container. The hot gel is so liquid-y that it falls easily through the mesh, no squeezing required. Also, I find that it yields a lot more this way than if I let it cool down and use pantyhose or cheesecloth to squeeze the gel through. (Thanks for the recipe! It really is foolproof!)
PowerInYourCurl: This is a good ass, quality video. *sigh* We appreciate you Nap and the years of effort, researching and filming that you have done for us. ✊
C K: Did you know that you can just pour it through a strainer hot and it will give the exact same results and takes a couple of seconds?? Just make sure your metal strainer has holes small enough not to let the seeds go through. I add rosemary and lavender for hair growth and a little bit of vitamin e to help preserve it. You can also add aloe vera to help preserve it. It's also VERY good for your skin (your whole body).
Apple Sauce: I had to come back to this video, I love wash n go's, and slick syles! But store-bought gels have been making my hair fall out, so I was searching for homemade gels and I saw this one that I had forgotten about! But I know your recipes are always good, so I'm going to try this out. Thank you!
Bnell Aniyah: Thanks for the updated no fuss recipe! Just a small tip to make it even easier: After you get the desired consistency use a strainer to pour it into a heat proof container and let it cool..no squeezing or pantyhose needed. Then pour it into your plastic squeeze bottle. Thanks again!
Yvette m.: Yay!!! Thanks for the video I can’t wait to try! I’ve been making flax gel for about 3 years with similar ratios. I normally don’t boil as long and strain right away with a metal strainer. I add honey and fresh aloe, with essential oils. But this consistency is a lot thicker and I’m very interested to see how it holds !!!! Been feeling like I need to tweak my recipe lately !
Jean Smith Shanks: Great! Comes out wonderful each time. My variation is to not use as many flaxseeds, nor boil it for too long. I get a thinner gel consistency that is pourable while still hot, through a strainer (no need for stockings to extract the gel) My hair is not very thick, so this consistency works for me, and quick too. .
Patricia Simpson: This looks so good. My beautiful great niece asked me to make her something so that her hair doesn't get frizzy. I'm going to try your recipe with a little slippery elm, fenugreek, horsetail and maybe some marshmallow root. You are still inspiring!
We Are Legion: This is awesome stuff. I added some dried rosemary to the flax seed as I was cooking it, then added several drops of lavender essential oil to the gel once it was strained. They both have antiseptic & preservative qualities & are good for hair.
Brittney Lewis: Absolutely love this gel! Thank you for this fool-proof recipe!!
Melanin Monroe: Facts! My hair started breaking like crazy after I stopped using it for a while, I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Once I start back using it, immediately my hair was more manageable, curls was popping. This gel is a "NEED" for my hair and not a choice. I bet I wont go without it for too long anymore.
Truth Seeker: Thank you for making simple natural safe gel and for sharing it. Others make it so complicated lol. Thanks for keeping this simple. I'll be trying this today!
Betty Camacho: you are gorgeous! And so are your curls. Can't wait to try your method. It's always hit or miss for me! xo
Coco: I love this recipe and my hair loves it too! Just ran out so making it again for the second time.❤️
Rebecca Andrews: Thank you SO much for this guide! It made my hair so soft and shiny!
Kathleen H.: Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I hope it'll be a game changer for my thin, frizzy / curly hair. xo
Sophia Addo: I can’t believe how easy this was to make. I left it for a few more minutes to be a bit thicker. My hair is so laid right now. Amazing!!
Li Ak: Hi Whitney, so I made your flaxseed gel and did my first ever wash n go using your homemade liquid black soap, banana deep condish, your oil mix, Shea mix and flaxseed! I wish I could show you pix. I've never seen my hair look this stunning!!! thank you so much for introducing me to my new way of keeping it natural! I'm so grateful, God bless you and your family and may He enrich you
bananagames1228: Hi! Thanks for the video! A tip for you: you can freeze the excess gel. I use ice cub tray and I take 1 cube the night before or even 1 hour before and it will still have the same consistency. You can bottle what you need for 1-2 weeks and freeze the left over. No more waste!
muttless: Thank you! You've inspired me to try this. I just tried a rice water rinse this week and I'm loving the results! I think this flax seed gel will have protein in it and will act like DevaCurl light defining gel, which my hair loves! Your 4 day hair looks great!
Kayla: Soooooo easy can’t wait to make this!!
kemisha brooks: I tried this process and it was a success
Nana Marizcal: This is the ratio I've found works best for the most similar consistency: 1/4 cup flax seeds + 2 cups (480 ml) water I made this twice before and I was using 1/4 cup with 500 ml but it was turning too watery in my opinion... I hope this helps!
laydeekimi: I appreciate all you natural sisters for the work you all do to help us. Naptra you are the original OG and queen B of the community (in my opinion) edge pass all the rest with natural videos like these. I have watched you since 2012 when I first transitioned you help me a lot despite my curls being looser than yours. I have always found your methods useful. From one sister to another, thank you and God bless you. Xoxo
Aisha Pittman: I'm so excited. Making this for the 1st time now. You were right that it didn't take long to boil. Had my back turned for 2 mins, maybe 3 & it was boiling over! Just pulled it off the burner to cool. Can't wait to use it. Ladies don't forget to get a container store it in. I didn't even think about but found & washed out a glass container from my recycling.
E Mack: Great recipe and technique. It's also incredibly inexpensive to make. Since my hair is quite short I make extra and freeze it. I also add a little essential oil of lavender because I like the fragrance.
Audra G: Thank you! My daughter and I enjoyed making this together. It made more than enough to share.
marissa welch: Thank you for posting the update. I watched your first video in 2010 or 2011 when I started getting into the curly girl method. I stopped making the gel after a few years because it takes so long, but I ran into a line of hair products that wrecked my hair so I am trying to get back into natural/DIY products again. I love that I don't need to burn my hands to make flax seed gel anymore! Haha!
maureen little: Thanks you for this! Allergies have forced me away from basically everything because corn is in everything. This was posted in my corn allergy group and her hair looks amazing! Excited to try this.
Lůna Paloma: I love your recipe. I added tangerine, lemon and rosemary essential oils to my gel. Thank you.
Nyon Smith: This literally brought my hair to life. Apparently Flax seed and a deep conditioner was all my hair needed to define my stubborn curl pattern.
Evelyn C: THANK YOU!!! This is a GREAT tutorial and I CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE MY OWN FLAXSEED GEL! :) Finally! A great HEALTHY, ALL NATURAL gel product for my hair that isn't full of hair-destroying chemicals, DOESN'T CAUSE BUILD-UP like perfumy hair gels AND WON'T BREAK MY BANK!!! Thanks again for a GREAT VIDEO! MsECstreet :)
J 0307: This is soooo perfect!!! Ive been making it for over a yr now n the consistency has been up n down but your way is PERFECT!!! THANK U!!!!
philosophfox: I made the gel yesterday night and tried it this morning...Wow. I’ve only recently started really trying to get my ideal hair look, my leave-in conditioner in conjunction with the flax gel has worked! I’m really happy with the results! Thank you for the vid!
Shauna Hibbitts : I love how you are updating your videos especially since I've been following you from your first video.....You are the reason why I learned my hair and finally understand my hair journey When you started your videos I left perming 3 or 4 years and was clueless on how to care for it muchas gracias for everything you do....Love the update
Paige Nicole: I think this should be added to the melanin line! I would definitely buy!
Orchaid Jones: Thank you for this foolproof method! I have been sitting on my packet of flaxseed for so long!! Mine took a lil longer to make a mucus trail (probably because my seeds are old lol) but as soon as I took off the stove I poured the pot over into my Pyrex bowl that I had but a wig cap over and let it cool like that so I had minimal squeezing to do when it cooled...worked perfectly! I stirred in some drops of tea tree and JBCO before pouring into a jar and refrigerating. I tried it on a piece of hair and babyyyyyyy when I tell you DEFINITION!!
frosty perma: BRILLIANT!! Have been trying for decades to get the results this just gave me .Easy ,cheap and friendly to my hair head and most importantly the planet ( ORGANIC flaxseed is a must ) Thank you so much .
Empress B: Thanks again Whitney!! I will be trying this immediately. I love your curls.
sandylane60: This recipe works a treat. I used a fine strainer/sieve to put my flaxseeds in whilst boiling on the stove. To keep separate. Then at the end when it had cooled down i didnt have to use panty hose to strain it. Just put into ice cube trays and freeze till needed. I use two frozen cubes for long hair. Perfect. Thanks for your video. Great job?
oldieslover1956: I've been making my own flaxseed hair gel for years too and it works great! I also add rosemary essential oil to it. I've always used a strainer, but the pantyhose is a great idea! Thanks!
Kennedy Courtney: I just poured it through a fine strainer when it was hot and it turned out great! Thanks for the video :)
Ditte Elvekjær: Great diy. I will definitely be trying the cooling down part. I also make my own flaxseed gel and it is just the best.
Athena Kaye: Thank you this is so helpful because my hair is extremely thick and curly and doesn’t really show definition❤️ Also instead of throwing the linseeds out you can put it in the freezer and then reuse it and as ur making it can u can add a nice smelling oil
Lady Nyvellya Addison: Hello Naptural85, great video. Are there multiple uses for flaxseed gel? I'd like to start using it but want to know if it's only for styling your natural hair only? Thanks and keep those great videos coming...take care :)
Diamante: I love the ratio of the seeds and water, it comes out perfectly every time! The only thing I hate is after I made a fresh batch, I would see mold starting to form on it by the time it’s time for me to retwist my locs. I’ve discovered a solution that will fix that problem and I’m not sure why I’d never thought about it before. Last time I made a batch, after it was cooled, I added a few drops(maybe 5 drops) of tea tree oil along with my jojoba oil in my concoction. I did this two retwists ago, that’s over two months ago and my gel still smells fresh like I just made it and no mold! The tea tree oil naturally kills fungus, so it’s hard for it to form. I just wanted to share that and help anyone else that has thrown away a batch due to mold. Also I keep it refrigerated. You’ll thank me later!
Jennifer Stevens: Great video, thank you for this! I'm new to flaxseed gel, only made one batch so far. I love it so so much! I'm going to try your recipe!
Rachel Dover: Because of you I'm learning how to revive my hair and I find that your D.I.Y products are way better for my hair than store bought products. My hair has been the same length for 3 years because it keeps getting damaged and I have to keep cutting it off. Now I'm bench watching all your videos learning how to take care of my hair and also as of March 13th my birthday I said NO TO HEAT we have broken up. So please post more videos I can't get enough of you
Alex Lugo: Thank you so much for this video tutorial!! Ive tried 3 times and couldn’t get the gel to strain, it was too thick. But after this video i got it on the first time! It really is perfect lmao TYSM
TepperWear: I made this last night and used it today for the first time. I'm blown away. My hair looks fabulous. I put some rosemary essential oil in it because I read it can be used as a preservative. We'll see. But I'm really happy with hit. No more Devachan gel!! No more plastic waste! Thank you!
Trishiro Campbell: I made it! OMG it turned out good. Very moisturizing. Thanks you Lady!
Latoshia53 Blessed: Love this!! Will be making this soon!
nerdmama1985: I made this for my daughter and it works AMAZING! I've tried everything in stores to get this look and nothing worked! All the store products left her hair dry and damaged. This works like MAGIC! Thank you for making this video! She is now telling all her curly girl friends at school about your channel and flax seed gel!
GhanaianLove: Making this today! I have all the ingredients/supplies. Using for my D.I.Y microlocs thank you!
High Value White Guy: Literally every hair gel from the store makes my head itch like crazy! This is great, thanks a lot!
Just a cog in the fkery: Okay, this recipe truly *IS* perfect! I had to make 1/2 the suggested amount (1&1/4 C water & 1/8 C flaxseed) because it was way more than I could use the 1st time. Gel is perfect every time tho! I strain mine **immediately** from the heat through a mesh strainer instead of letting it thicken first.
Alie Power: Making some tonight! And your 4 day old hair looks brand new!
Shondra Harberts: Your curls are BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE THEM! They're perfect!

H M: I love the no 3rd degree burns, part. Kind of important. Thank you for the great tutorial! Your hair is gorgeous!
MrsMocha: Can’t wait to try this!!! Thanks girl!
voicesinthewoods: Thank you soooooo much for this video! I deal with chemical sensitivities and have curly hair yet cannot use hair gel or conditioners due to the chemicals in them. Going to give this a shot! You just may have saved the day! I miss wearing my hair down without it just being straight frizz! Thank you SO MUCH!
Keyanna Suddreth: Going to make this soon! My hair has been thriving off of simple and effective products with natural ingredients! All I use is Melanin Hair Care, a couple of Olaplex products, and that’s it. But I’d like to start incorporating a gel. So I’m going to make my own (aka this). I appreciate you!
Joyful Heart: Wow, thank you for sharing your recipe and tips!!

Care Free: I really needed this. Thanks a whole bunch ❤
Never Time: So cool! I had no idea you could make a gel from flaxseeds. I'm all about all-natural products when possible. I've made my own hair wax with beeswax & essential oils
Jose Contreras: Done it twice! Came to say that I love this gel
A. A.: Thank-you! I just completed my first batch ♀️
QueenJ: So cool! Thanks to your channel I might become a juices and berries natural lol. I tried an aloe vera leaf for my scalp (for a pre-poo) and it worked wonders for my seborrhea dermatitis. I hope the effects last for a long time. Thanks for all the knowledge Whit!
Yvens Duplessis: I use this on my locs and there is NO buildup or flaking and it stays in for up to two weeks. I workout 4-5 days a week and no problem
Rita Hyre: The best flaxseed DIY I seen so far. Love it. Am trying this next time!
L: Going to try this RIGHT NOW! So excited. I stopped buying and using regular curl gels and I’m incorporating more natural oils and products, this will fit right in.
lovesmith: Hey Lady, love your video I watched the first one and use a cheap 1.00 strainer for dollar tree to separate the gel from the seeds, and this method can be done with it still hot. Just placer strainer over a bowl and pour, love flax seed gel!
ramsay014: Sooo I stopped making flax seed gel because of the amount of effort required, but I made it today using this method and OMG. IT. TOOK. LESS. THAN. A. MINUTE. Not kidding. One minute to squeeze the gel out! Glad I saw this video because I was about to start the hunt for the Flax seed eco styler!
Bl ess: New subbie! Girl I just made this thanks! Easier than any other video I've watched to make this gel
Ingrid: Wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and method. And your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!!
Yaya DIY Creations: I literally Can not get enough of your videos. I have been watching your videos since like 2011 and you literally inspired me to CUT ALL OF MY HAIR OFF! I cut it off and later had enough confidence to share my own Natural Hair Journey April 2014. I have entered every single Giveaway and Watched all most every single VLOG. Since before Olivia was born. All in all, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you and everything you do for the Natural Hair Community. We LOVE you and keep the videos coming!! :)

Zahria Rhyne: For my flaxseed gel I pulse a large aloe so it has that gummy texture and add it to the flaxseed. I also use chia seed with my flaxseed, oil, humectant and essential oils.
Hathorian Elevation: I made my first batch of flaxseed gel today <:-) It came out PERFECT!! I added jasmine essential oil to mine for fragrance. Thanks so much for the recipe!!
Fuller Wms.Evans: YES, YES, YES!!! Best ever gel. I have been making this gel from your first video. Made some on April 27th. My curls are holding for days ( week or more). Double strain twist /Bantu knot (leave for 2 days), loosen knots, leave hair tightly curled,. The curls will loosen and fall in place. I get lots of great comments.
Prettii Lexii: I've watched your videos years ago when I was in college& to see all of the growth is great! My hair could be this long but I keep cutting it off.
Alisia Montgomery: Thank you so much!!! This was really helpful. All store bought gels make my skin itch. Even my hands while I am putting it into my hair. You saved my life with this!! Thank you!!!
12Myka12: 600ml= approx 2.5 cups you're welcome
Mary Graham: OMG with each video I love you even more. You'd do good ANYWHERE where speaking is mandatory. You should be on stage teaching college kids anything. And you're beautiful . Informative and the extra tips you add are so useful. Thank you ❤️.
Healing_and_Humor: Have you ever thought about just boiling the seeds IN the stocking so that all you have in the pan is the gel? I'm thinking I might try that some day, to cut down on the mess of separating after. Of course, that will only work if I can still get the gel goodness from seeds inside a stocking (kind of like a tea sort of concept).
