AGO Re-hydrating Gel
This has become my go-to gel in the mornings after damping my hair and applying a little leave-in (currently Faith in Nature’s Seaweed conditioner). It reduces frizz, re-defines curls and generally smooths my hair far better than just water and leave-in alone.
Flax Seed Creams
For those of you that prefer creams to gels, you can use flax seed gel as the basis for two different creams. The first one — which is based on a recipe in the Science-y Hair Blog — I’ve used successfully. I haven’t tried making up the second yet as it’s a little more fiddly. Basically, it’s shealoe whipped with flax seed gel and a little glycerin.
Jojoba Oil
It finally dawned on me that my hair doesn’t like jojoba oil. It seems to make it all bitty and dry looking. Now trying castor oil instead — which bizarrely feels dry rather than greasy.
Flax Seed Gel
My hair absolutely loves flax seed gel and I’ve been making it for the past year. The following recipe makes about 300ml of gel which I divide into four 100ml bottles and freeze. Each individual bottle — which is about 2/3rds full — then defrosts and stays in the fridge for 2 weeks before the remains (if any) are discarded.
