@colourtherainbow1991 Hey! Thank you for stopping by. Yes the song is truly beautiful, it's "How It Used To Be" In Kirk Franklin's album "Fight Of My Life"
@lahana24(part1) hi! Thank you for taking the time to watch my video. Actually, I have never used flaxseed gel with this recipe but I doubt it will yield the same results. For one, you would have to get the consistency of the flaxseed gel right and secondly you would have to add a preservative (for more information please watch my video on flaxseed gel).
@sisiafrica Thank you for responding :)) I will try the Aloe Vera method, because ughhh this home made flax seed gel is just ridicules. I really dislike flaxseed gel, but uneducated in the use of Aloe Vera gel
@lahana24 It's my pleasure. Lol to the flax seed gel. Aloe vera is great for the hair as a gel or incorporated in another hair recipe mix (for example a shea butter mix). It is moisturizing and keeps the cuticles in check (smoothes; fights against rough cuticles). You can also use it on your skin. If you want to use it as a sort of daily moisturizer, you can get some Aloe very juice instead. They have the same benefits. But for this recipe, the gel is best. Hope that helps!
@lahana24 (part 2) But if those two factors are in check guess you could give it a try or just but some shea butter mix in your hair before the gel. I personally prefer aloe vera gel because it's ready made and mixes well with the butters. I hope that helps. If ever you do decide on using flaxseed gel, please tell me how it turns out. God bless
@tricia0331Thank you, it's my pleasure. No I have never used it for a wash and go but it should work alright. All the same, I would advice you to lessen the butters or/and add more gel. I would love to hear how it turns out! God bless

@1nonlicc Hey. YOu normally don't have to mix for that long. Mix until you get an homogenous mix and that normally takes just a few minutes. If your mix is not homogenous maybe you should try adding a bit more gel . Have fun mixing
I use something similar on my hair. It is made with raw shea butter, glycerin, my favorite oils, and eco styler gel. I love it. Just started using it recently. I have never tried miss jessies before. I just wanted something that moisturized, had hold, and made my hair smooth and this worked out well.
@NaturalNola86 hi! You just can't go wrong with a mix containing raw shea butter and oils! And the great thing is that there is no ONE right recipe, you can always play with it. How do you use your mix?
@sisiafrica I like using it on braidout and twistouts. Im going to try in on mini twists. I tried a few in my hair and they looked nice and the shea butter mix seemed to make them hang more with less shrinkage than usual.
this song is soooo gorgeous.....what is this song ?? (it sounds like kirk franklin)
