  • Awesome! thanks for adding this vid! I'm gonna try this.

  • Did it work for you?

  • umm so i made it and couldnt get the seeds to strain away. i had to add water n now its not gel..lol.. wa can i do next time?

  • You have to strain it right away, otherwise it will harden up!

  • How does this work for softening hair. what ever I use my hair eventually gets dry and crunchy by the end of the day. I need some thing to make it softer will this work?

  • You can apply a drop of oil, but the flaxseed it pretty moisturizing.

  • I don't think you should be boiling flax seed because it becomes toxic when heated.

    I know because I eat it everyday on my Raw food diet. Place the flax seed in a gar and fill with water, place the lid on the gar and leave over night. you will find it's a better mixture after straining and separating the seeds from the oil. I don't mean to step on anyone's toes sorry if you feel I have. Take care.... Margaret

  • @NunaFeedTheDucks I appreciated this comment so did my own research and this is what I found:

    "While flaxseed oil should not be heated because it can easily oxidize, it seems that heat doesn't have the same effect on whole flaxseeds." look up whfoods.org

  • Does anyone know , can you use ground flaxseed? 

  • Wait so, the 10 days that you show pics of your hair, you never added anything else (conditioner, leave-in) to it after you put the flax seed oil on your hair the first time?

  • Does any know if you have to use whole flax seeds, or can you use ground flax seeds?

  • @toysvoice buy a cheap pair of panty hose and open it over a large measuring cup or small container. pour in the mixture and using tongs squeeze out the gel.

  • What does that oil do?

  • @NunaFeedTheDucks Tell me about the raw food diet. You can inbox me if you want

  • excellent video!

    Thanks so much...

    I will be making this soon!

  • Day TWELVE?!! Are you kidding me?! LoL! Most will be happy with 7 day hair!

    I gotta get me some flax seeds.. :)

  • Does this works if the flax seeds are grounded ? Thanks :)

  • @pmurray0107 Thanks for that! I was afraid of poisoning my hair. That sounds silly, I know.
