Anti-frizz flaxseed-based hair gel

Have you tried everything to discipline your hair or stimulate its growth, but nothing really seems to work? What if the solution wasn’t in an overpriced bottle, but in your kitchen cupboard? Two surprisingly effective ingredients – flaxseed and okra – can be made into ultra-nourishing homemade hair gels. Your hair will love the change.

Flaxseed gel: your ally for hair growth and shine

Who hasn’t dreamed of long, healthy hair… without waiting months? Flaxseed gel is a very effective natural treatment to stimulate growth, strengthen the hair fiber and provide a nice dose of shine. Easy to prepare, it only takes a few minutes and very few ingredients.

Its essential benefits:

This gel penetrates to the roots to nourish the scalp and activate growth. Rich in omega-3, it soothes sensitive scalps, balances sebum production and prevents breakage. And thanks to the vitamin E it contains, your hair gains elasticity and shine while delaying the appearance of grey hair.

Minute recipe to try tonight:

In a saucepan, pour 250 ml of water and 2 tablespoons of whole flaxseed.

Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring gently until the mixture becomes gelatinous.

Let cool and then strain through a fine sieve.

For a more sensorial version, add 1 teaspoon of aloe vera gel and a few drops of essential oil (lavender or rosemary, for example).

Apply directly to the scalp, massaging gently.

Okra gel: the perfect hydration for curls

If you have textured, frizzy or frizzy hair, okra could well become your new ally. This vegetable, often used in cooking, transforms into a very moisturizing hair gel, perfect for defining curls, deeply moisturizing and limiting frizz.

Why adopt it:

Thanks to its richness in vitamins A, C and K, okra brings suppleness and shine to the hair. It moisturizes the scalp, soothes itching and leaves hair soft, shiny and manageable. And its little extra? It is totally natural and environmentally friendly!

Express homemade recipe:

Cut 6 to 7 okra in half.

Put them in a saucepan with 250ml of water and bring to the boil.

Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring gently.

Then strain the mixture to keep only the gel.

Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil (or coconut) and a few drops of essential oil if desired.

Let it rest for a day in a small, clean glass jar.

Apply to damp or dry hair for instant hydration.

And now, it’s your turn!

Long hair, bouncy curls, natural shine… All of this is at your fingertips, without harsh chemicals or unnecessary expense. By incorporating these homemade hair gels into your routine, you give your hair what it deserves: softness, attention, and a good dose of nature.
