Flaxseed

First up, let's talk about the wonders of flaxseeds. These little seeds are not just good for your health; they're a miracle worker for your hair, too.

  1. Boil 2 cups of water and add 1/4 cup of flaxseeds.
  2. Keep the mixture on a simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You'll notice it turning into a gel-like consistency.
  3. Remove from heat and let it cool. Then, strain the mixture to remove the seeds.
  4. For an extra kick, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Lavender or rosemary can add a soothing scent and additional nourishment.
  5. Voilà! Store it in a refrigerator and use it within 2-3 weeks for the best freshness.

Aloe vera

Next, we shine the spotlight on aloe vera, a true gem for skin and hair care routines. Its hydrating properties are perfect for a natural styling gel that not only holds your hair in place but also keeps it moisturized.

  1. Scoop out the gel from an aloe vera leaf. For a smoother gel, blend it until you get a consistent paste.
  2. To give your hair some extra love, mix in a teaspoon of coconut oil and a few drops of vitamin E oil. This trio will moisturize and protect your hair, leaving it shiny and soft.
  3. Store your aloe vera gel in a cool place or refrigerator. Use it within a week for the freshest experience.

Creating your own styling gel is not just about being crafty; it’s about embracing a healthier lifestyle for your hair. These natural gels offer the hold and style you desire, without the harsh chemicals.
