I never saw anyone slow cook or “simmer” their flax gel on low heat before!! That’s amazing! I could never tell when mine was done, but your way looks so much easier! And can I also say that I simply love how you are taking it back to the golden age of KZread, when not everyone was a product pusher, or click baiting for likes and subscribes and reminding me in every single video to click that damn notification bell. This is so authentic and what you are doing with your hair is so simple, yet edifying. I don’t feel like I’m watching some glamorized “channel”, but a real person who is opening up their home and way of life to me so I can LEARN something. Thanks sis!!😘

J C that's really sweet of you I really appreciate it funny you say that because I also look at other videos and other girls on KZread and I be like damn why can't I just be more glamorous or be more this I'll be more of that and I really realize that it's just not in my nature I'm not one of those people who wears makeup everyday or feels like I have to do my hair in a different style everyday I just like to keep things really simple because to me that's what life is about it's about keeping certain things simple so you don't have to constantly live a life where you feel like you have to constantly live up to these unrealistic expectations I guess but you know sometimes I have my days. I just recently got offered a opportunity to work with the company and test their products out for reviews and I have to turn them down so I'm like nah that's not what my channel is about homie lol

It’s better to boiled it for 15 minutes not more, then strained it when it still in watery texture but thick like a drinkable yogurt, because if you let it boiled more than 15 minutes plus let it cooling down it will be too thick a difficult to strain a real nightmare for impatient and clumsy people like me. So for those who have Steve Urkle syndrome like me better try this method😅😂😉

Letting it cool down for two hours, wow girl you have some discipline. I want to put it away right away, but seeing that thickness I definitely want to try this out. Thanks for not cutting out the raw footage, that was helpful.

I love you sister!!! Let me start by telling you how much you have changed my life by sharing your wisdom. I developed an allergy to hair gels, hair dyes and started to get eczema throughout my edges in the past two years. My hair became super dry, brittle and throw in the itchy scalp to go along with the allergy obstacles. Lord, I didn’t know what to do anymore. My go to style was a bun and the daily struggle was epic. Now that I completed my flaxseed gel following your instructions on Monday, my hair game has changed. I am delighted to report that the experience this week has been wonderful. I moisturized mid week and used your recipe to style. Now Im ready to tackle this dryness, and grow out my hair. I used twists throughout the week using a home made hair oil. I will continue to use this gel in my hair, just made my second batch!! I have thrown out my synthetic hair products. I will not suffer needlessly anymore. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Please share your growth oil recipe with us 💋😻😻

I’m glad you decided to start a KZread channel and share your regimen. Your hair is gorgeous. Ive been growing my natural hair for seven years now and it used to be 2 inches away from waist length. Had a setback at a salon with them cutting 6 inches off. I was upset but I realized my hair is healthier now and it will grow back. Everything I learned about natural hair has been from KZread. I tell people I attended KZread university lol. I wanted to know how often do you moisturize your hair?

Shawna Vaughn why do hair stylist always do that kind of thing and they start by telling you you need a trim and in my opinion a trim should not be more than an inch which is also kind of excessive. my hair was probably shoulder blade length and I was told I needed my usual trim and by the time she was done it was at the base of my neck and I could tell that she was lying my hero up with that little bone at the back of the base of my neck or at the beginning of my spine pushing my head forward which made it yeah, you know what I mean boy was I ticked because it had taken me awhile to grow the hair that I had and since I already had a short haircut for a while, that was my aim to grow my hair out.

I love how natural and straight forward your routine is. Definitely going to be trying this

Thank you for staying true! A sock, really?😂😂😂😂😂 this is why you're valued and love. Thank you! I immediately became a tribe member.

Thick, beautiful flaxseed gel! Thank you for sharing!

Wow, this is the best consistency I've seen for fsg. Will try your ratios. I started using your aloe & acv mixture (adding glycerin and guar gum to it for better consistency) and I love it. It's moisturizing, cleanses well, and has slip. Works well for my hair as well as both my daughters.

So simple and straightforward. So helpful! I love your videos. 💜

New to the tribe, but have stalked you a week now! Thank you! I love your style and you taught me how to wrap!

Thinking the same thing! Everyone who asks my routine has the same question and unfortunately I couldn't answer them because that's what youtube taught me. We learn then we relearn. Honestly my mind is battling with how it will do without deep conditioner and I know with some of her videos and streams she mentions that she doesn't use it. So it's the battle of the mind. I have decided to stop buying any more products and slowly introduce myself and soon my baby to this regimen.

I always use stockings but now I’m gonna see how it works with a sock 😅 thanks for this! Your voice is also really relaxing here ✨

Yep...I’m definitely making this. Thank you!

Ok sis, I'm definitely going to use this on my daughter's twist out. She has the fluffiest hair ever! I'll be sure to moisturize it properly first, then twist with the gel. My hair usually stays put, so I'll seal my ends with it. Thanks so much!

Zo L you can wrap your twist at night with yarn or bands to stretch them. I usually grab my bangs into a ponytail and wrap them so that they can hang long. I allow the rest of my hair to shrink so it looks like a cute little Bob. I don't have to worry about my twist rubbing against my clothes causing breakage. My hair is currently collar bone length so my twist shrinks to chin length. Trying to get it longer. Hope this helps.😊

Hi there, one quick question: how long did you cook your flaxseeds specifically? Was it like 15 mins, or longer? Thanks, I want to try this for my hair. :)

Okay now I need to go make some!

Thanks! Took a chance at making some while waiting for you to tell/ show us how to do this, and now that I see I made mine to thin 🤔, my next batch ..will be thicker! The great thing about it is the bag was only $3.99... yes!! And all natural! 🤝 Please tell me if I am doing my weekly moisture routine correctly. This time, took shower without cap, let steam moisturize my hair, I did take my wet hands and pat my strands just a little. Applied castor oil to a few (5-6) strands at a time, squeezing it n gently... applied my looser texture flax seed gel to ends😬. Didnt wait for the ends to dry (should I have?)... pinned it up and went to bed. Am I doing this right? Please advise. I know you are coming with a video on this soon but until then your advisement would really help me. 🤗

I love flaxseed gel 😍and your hair is beautiful girl. Too funny,,ya husband socks. Lol 😆🤣 I needed that. I'm gonna try the sock method ✌

I use sock too but i go ahead strain while coz at that time is thin this really think i might let mine set and thick too
