Happy Tuesday Ladies! After hearing so much about the new Eco Black Castor and Flaxseed Oil Gel, I finally decided to give it a go!
The Gel comes in a new flip top tub, feels really smooth to the touch, not sticky and heavy like some traditional Gels. It has a rather pleasant and sweet smell and applies easily onto damp hair that has a Leave In Conditioner on it. I applied the Gel over my Cantu Curl Activator and let the hair air dry undisturbed for three hours.
Happy Tuesday Ladies! I finally decided t make some FlaxSeed Gel. This has been a trend for the longest time in the Natural Hair Community.
Flaxseeds are packed with goodness for your hair in the form of nutrients like Protein, Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium, Iron and Omega 3 Fatty Acids which are beneficial to the growth of strong and healthy hair. Consuming these seeds is highly beneficial for your skin and hair, however using it topically in the form of a Natural hair Gel is just as good.
The Omega 3 fatty acids in Flaxseeds are extremely nurturing for our hair follicles and increasing the elasticity of hair fibres.This causes hair to be stronger and less vulnerable to breakage.
Omega 3 fatty acids are also known to have great anti-inflammatory properties,which make these seeds highly beneficial in reducing inflammation caused in various scalp conditions like dandruff and itchy scalp.
My first time experience making and using Flaxseed Gel was surprising in a really good way!I did not actually expect to have such amazing results!The Gel left my hair feeling soft,while providing excellent hold and my hair literally gleamed!This rivals any commercial gel if you ask me!Also a little goes a long way so only a small amount is enough.
Happy Tuesday Ladies! It is getting warmer around this party of the world and I have decided to re-visit the Wash and Go for this Summer! I will be using Cantu Coconut Curling Cream, some Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and some Cantu Shine and Define Custard to achieve these well defined results:
Today's post is centred on hair gel thanks to Idy Ekanem ( hi!) who is looking for more info on this styling product. I must admit I never gave much thought to hair gels, apart from the usual tip to avoid the ones with drying alcohol. Let's get into it.
What is hair gel?
Hair gel is a styling product that is used to mould hair, and help it retain the shape created by forming a film over the hair. This film which constructs physical bonds between the strands which prevent them from being displaced, and thus sets your hair.
