I went through this entire thread because I was trying to remember why I bought these seeds a couple of days ago. I think that I had read at the time that it was good for added slippage. I was buying slippery elm and marshmallow root as well.
I think that my routine would be too complicated to add a tea rise or additional step of using a paste and rinsing that out prior to washing and conditioning, so instead, I've decided to try making an oil that I can add to my conditioner or leave in. This will also eliminate me from having to remember in advance to soak my seeds over night.
In one of the post, unfortunately, I can't remember which one, someone was kind enough to post a link to KeraVada's etsy store. My initial idea was to just purchase the oil because it would be easier. Unfortunately, it bothers me to spend twenty dollars on something that I can make - I already have the ingredients.
So tomorrow, I will begin the steeping process. This should be ready by the time I wash my hair on Saturday. I'm thinking that I may add some rosemary as well. Here is the information if anyone else is interested in trying to make their own oil.
