Has anyone tried this? It seems very interesting:
If you don’t like the look of frizzy and/or dry-looking twists, you might want to try twisting with a gel of some type. Some women report great success with plain old aloe vera gel. I’ve always found it (and most other gels) drying. One gel I haven’t found drying is flax seed gel. Here’s a very basic recipe.
2 tablespoons flax seeds
1 cup water (but see below)
Put the flax seeds and water in a pot and slowly bring to a boil. Turn off heat, let cool and strain into a airtight container. Cover and store in the refrigerator. Use within two weeks.
The thing about this recipe is that you may have to play with the amount of water you put in. Too little water and you’ll end up with a big glob. Too much and it’s just sticky water.
