Quick Gift Idea: How to Make Peppermint Flaxseed Gel
Don't go empty handed to that Christmas party. Here is something you can take along.
Dry Twisting with Whipped Shea Butter
Whenever I do my two strand twists, I always do it on wet or damp hair, never on dry hair. I decided to try doing my two strand twists on dry hair using the Whipped Shea Butter I made yesterday. Here is the recipe: 16 oz of Shea Butter (white) 1 tsp of Vitamin E 2 tsp of Extra virgin coconut oil 2 tsp of Extra virgin olive oil 2 tsp of Almond oil (by Zayd's ) 2 tbsp of Jojoba Oil 2 tbsp of Castor Oil Whip with hand held mixer until mixture looks creamy and fluffy. For each section, I applied 1/2 a dime-size, and twisted. My hair felt moisturized but lacked the soft feeling that is usually present when I do the twists on damp hair. Also, I noticed, my front area did not have a curly look as it used to. Which do you prefer, wet/damp twisting or dry twisting?
Compliments of the season! Can one use milled flax seeds to make the gel?
ReplyDeleteMilled Flax Seed will not work well, because it will not strain right. You will have pieces of seeds in your gel. It is best to use the whole one.
DeleteHow often can one use the flax seed gel for hair grooming? How do you know when it has spoiled?
DeleteIt depends on the style, if I only style my hair once a week and need a bit of hold, I use it. I try not to use it too often between washes so as not to create product build up. I only make enough for 2 weeks. Always keep it in the refrigerator. By the way, I research further regarding using milled flax seed. You can try using it, but strain with pantyhose so that all the seeds will be caught, do not use a strainer.
