I just made flaxseed gel for the first time, but.....

[JBunnie]

I'm excited that I made my first batch of flaxseed gel ever! (with my sister's help)

The video I watched said I can save the seeds for the next time I make the gel. She said keep them in an airtight container, but should I refrigerate them or can they be left in my room?

 

[LilMissRed]

I put mine in the freezer

 

[CurlsBazillion]

I didn't know I could save them :/

 

[JBunnie]

CurlsBazillion, if I hadn't have watched then I would have just thrown mine away as well.

LilMissRed thank you, I rather take that route because there is a ton more room in the freezer!!!

 

[JBunnie]

LilMissRed, how many times do you reuse your seeds?

 

[LilMissRed]

JBunnie twice

JBunnie, how do you like the way the flax seed gel works and makes your hair feel? I haven't tried it yet.

Ladies, What are the benefits of Flaxseed Gel?

If Im askin for too much I understand...Lol!

 

[Tiye]

Flax seeds are really cheap and it takes so little to make gel. A small bag usually lasts me for years. What are the benefits of freezing and reusing? Do you get extra conditioning power if you use them twice?

 

[LilMissRed]

Tiye I dont think theres any 'extra' conditioning power.. personally I'm just cheap. I agree with the bag lasting a long time, but I chose to freeze mine after the first use because there just seemed to still be some 'gel' in those seeds and I didnt want to toss them dont judge me... like I said.. I'm just cheap and hate to throw anything away that I think 'might' be useful on another day

newgrowth15, so far I've only used it once for a WnG and my hair felt really soft and the hold was looser than when I used KCCC or One 'n Only Argan Oil Curl Cream. The heat in Atlanta was insane last week (when I used the gel) and I was having issues taking care of my hair overall so it is kind of hard for me to really judge. I think I'm going to use it to style my hair when I do my next full wash on Saturday and subsequently for my WnG next Wednesday. I'll let you know my thoughts one I use it again.

Leesh, I was going to post the link to the other thread about it but I see you already got to it, LOL.
