 So why won't so why won't So why we're waiting on that what? Take two welcome back to my channel. It's just Janine. How are y'all doing? I apologize before I start this video I am a little on the sickly side So I'm getting I have a cold or whatever it is But I have a lot of sinus head pressure and drainage and I'm just completely stopped up So please forgive me but for those that are tuning in for the very first time Welcome and please don't forget to subscribe if you're newly tuning into my channel and for those that have been with been with me Since day one welcome back. So on today's video I am actually going to do something again and keep them with theme with natural hair since I'm on this whole natural hair process So I wanted to actually Make my own hair gel. I have been seeing this on the internet and YouTube for so long This flax seed gel making your own flax seed gel and I bought many of gels over the years I've tested and tried so many and I noticed that the one thing here recently that I am seeing I'm seeing in a lot of Hair gel products is flax seed and that seems to be like a staple Ingredient that's in a lot of hair products mainly because it promotes hair growth So I've been watching and watching so I'll say you know what? I'm gonna go buy me some flax seed I'm gonna try this and see if I can make my own and here I have my Whole flax seeds I got from Publix and I thought this stuff was gonna be really expensive But it was like a dollar and something. I think it was Yeah, it's like a dollar and something so I'm going to attempt for the second time this hair gel And I did it last night because I want to test it out before I got on camera today. I made a fool out of myself So bear with me as I'm going to attempt to try to do it for the second time But I do want to just let you know of some benefits as to the reason why I'm Doing this particular hair gel and why the flax seed hair gel is important to me So I could have memorized all this stuff and just rattled it off, but I don't feel good I don't feel like memorizing everything that I saw online So I'm just gonna tell you what it says online and you can look it up yourself I'll also leave the link in the description below So I had to sit down for a second because I'm tired and I don't feel good So I'm just gonna read y'all just very quickly the benefits of flax seed Hair gel so it says that it leaves the hair soft shiny and moisturized. It promotes hair growth You can reuse the flax seeds They are it is cost-effective You definitely get a lot for your money. That's for sure Dressing for the hair and it's rich in omega-3 It gives great curl definition It gives hold with no crunch non flaking not drying to the hair And it does not cause breakage or shedding which is good because my hair has been shedding like crazy lately It dries fast. It's great for washing goes and those sleek looks It's good for twist outs and setting a twist Once they're dry for a lovely twist out It mixes well with oils conditioners and many products in particular castor oil, which is one of my favorites Excuse me More importantly, it's all natural and it's organic The last thing it says is that they compare a lot of people compare it to the kinkies Kinky Curly's not today But they say that the flax seed gel is actually better and it's also really great for all hair types. It's what it says So all hair types. So if you are four or three two one, whatever Your hair type may be it is good and healthy and beneficial for all hair types Now there are two types of flax seeds now the dark brown flax seeds now that is actually slightly higher in omega-3 fatty acids Compared to the golden Or yellow flax seeds that I purchased. So had I known that I would have gotten the brown flax seed The main thing for me is cost-effective nourishing hair growth moisture prevents breakage Yeah, that's all I could think of those things right there and curl Definement yes and curl defining my curls But more simple but most importantly if I cannot if I'm broke and I'm out of jail if I'm out of some type of Curl-defying cream or curl-defying Whatever it may be now. I know I can make my own we have our pot It is empty and I am going to now and forever use this pot for flax seed oils Flax seed oil for flax seed gel and make anything with hair products because I scorched this thing and it's just been done ever since So what we're gonna do is we're gonna put two cups of water in the pot And we'll slowly walk into this thing up to the stove That's it to the sink and we're slowly walking And we're going to turn the wrong I own and burn my house down We're going to bring this to a bowl. So while we're waiting on the water to boil I want to show you what I made last night Like I said, I did make a little batch last night just to test it out. So look at that moisture y'all Who wouldn't want this in their hair like come on y'all know what it's like for us kinky curly girls To try to find something that's gonna give our hair definition without a whole bunch of chemicals and whatnot Look at that. That is straight moisture Mm-hmm ain't that right Pugsley so now that our water is boiling We're gonna add one fourth cup of flax seed and watch me waste this all over the place There we go Look at it already wasting stuff already So that's our fourth a cup of flax seed and we're just gonna pour it into the water And it's starting to boil I'm gonna take the spoon and just make sure that the flax seed is fully covered In the next few minutes, you're going to see and I'll show you because you're not gonna be able to see it the way it is There's gonna be like this slimy film that's going to start to to form looks like snot Then you'll probably notice it'll have this glaze look that starts to go over it So that's what we're gonna wait for all right. So now It's starting to get that glaze to it and it still may be kind of hard But do y'all see oh, I'm so nasally do y'all see this white stuff on the top Do y'all see how it's starting to glaze? That's the jail starting to form watch It looks watery, but then look See that that's the jail starting to form all right y'all it is done So I just turned the heat completely off And as you can see I'm gonna show you look at that That's definitely Done Look at it Look at the glaze on top of there look at that That is jail Jail and weep jail and weep now I ain't got no weave, but this is definitely jail To transfer or to drain the jail What you're gonna do is you can use either a cheesecloth or you can take the cheap way and the less expensive way and just taking a Old pair of stockings like I did here and just cut the foot out It's a strainer. So I'm just going to stretch it across The bowl and then I'm just gonna tie it down with a rubber band All right, so the jail is completely cooled You can see here How it looks look at that Look at that Ain't it amazing this stuff actually made jail All right, so we're gonna take our stock in put it over the bowl And we're gonna take our rubber band and secure the stock in if it'll stay Secure the stock in on The bowl and we're just gonna take Everything that's in here And we're going to You can use a Spatula if you want to but this phone actually does just fine This is nice and cool. So you don't have to worry about it. I'm not worried about it splattering anywhere It's not going anywhere These these are really the only thing I'm scraping but the jail Comes out pretty nicely Now pretty nicely so once we have everything inside of the stock in We're going to extract it So now we're going to extract it. So all we're gonna do is just we're gonna run our Fingers through here hands, whatever how you want to do it and you're just gonna squeeze All of the jail which will come through extract through the stock in so here we go And we're extracting and hopefully it works for me and hopefully this stock in don't have a hole in it So as you can see it's starting to come through Yeah, so this is it so this is the flaxseed hair gel and it's gonna it's done. It's completed you can See the consistency of it It may be just a little Thicker than I want it, but it can be thin it can be thick is how what consistency works for your hair and You can add some essential oils to it if you like just want two to three drops Swisen this thing and focus so instead of just finding a small amount of this product in a Jail whether it be eco style of jail or what have you? That promotes hair growth Just make it so that it's just potent hair growth for your hair You know so it you don't have to worry about it being having chemicals in it because it's all natural There's little chemicals in it There's no other Additives anything in it that you would find in any other type of hair gel So instead of just the company's just incorporating just a small amount of this stuff That's supposed to grow your hair in those products Just make it yourself and just have your very own and it's solely that product that grows your hair and promotes hair growth And it's nourishing for your hair moisturizing for the hair Prevents breakage and damage and so on and so for but not only it's like see good for your hair but it's also good for your body as well because it's high in fiber and proteins and things like that and it's I Think it's something worth trying.
