Flax seed gel results: part 1

Hello there lovely people,

So, as you know I made flax seed gel last week.  Well, I initially loved it.  I first tried the gel on a two strand twist out.  The results were quite nice.  My twist out was defined, the frizz stayed maintained and most importantly my hair was SUPER soft.  Other benefits were that the gel is easy to make, all natural, super cheap, and I know exactly which ingredients are in it.  I washed my hair on Sunday and re-washed (co-wash for both) last night.  So Sunday through Wednesday my hair was soft and I had no white flakes (and I used a lot of this stuff).  Overall I give it 4.6 stars out of 5.  The only two cons I have with this gel compared to store bought is that it didn't add extra shine to my hair (which was fine because I was bamboozled by how soft my hair was) and it is said to only last about 7-14 days.  However, the cons are not nearly strong enough to outweigh the pros.  I am definitely going to continue using this gel (although the consistency is a bit like mucous I feel like I'm holding snot), and last night I tried it on two strand twists. 

I love my hair in twists, but they only last for about two days because the frizz monster hits after that; so I want to see if adding this gel will help keep the frizz away.  I'll report back on how that goes later in the week.  

So recap:  I love flax seed gel so far and give it a 4.6 out of 5 stars and definitely plan to continue use.....at least until a new product catches my eye ;-)  j/k the product junkie in me is actually dying and my bank account thanks me for that!!!

Have a great day!  Let me know if you've tried flax seed gel, and if so what you think of it. 

Tootles for now   

This is my hair in the twist out after using flax seed gel (the top pic is the same day back view).  I co-washed my hair and detangled with a wide tooth comb.  I split my hair into four large sections and applied Cantu Shea Butter leave-in  and flax seed gel one section at a time.  I two strand twisted each section into about 5-7 twists (total 20-25 twists) and left it alone the remainder of the day.  On each twist I flat twisted the root.  That night I put a bonnet on and then in the morning untwisted, put a bit of Vatika oil in and voila!

This pic is day 2 hair.  The night before, I braided into6 braids and flat twisted the very front so it's more of a braid out on a twist out than just a twist out.  Uusally I like this method better, but with the flax seed gel I think I like the plain old twist out better.
