Flaxseed Gel Keratin Hair Mask Recipe
Ingredients
2 tablespoons flaxseeds
2 cups water
1 tablespoon aloe vera gel (optional, for extra hydration)
1 teaspoon coconut oil or olive oil (for added nourishment)
How to Make the Flaxseed Gel
Boil the Flaxseeds:
Add flaxseeds and water to a pot. Bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Simmer:
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a gel-like consistency.
Strain:
Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the gel using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth while it’s still warm.
Enhance the Gel (Optional):
Mix in aloe vera gel and coconut/olive oil for extra hydration and shine.
How to Use the Flaxseed Keratin Mask
Prep Your Hair:
Start with clean, damp hair. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo and towel-dry gently.
Apply the Mask:
Divide your hair into sections. Apply the flaxseed gel generously from roots to tips, ensuring every strand is coated.
Massage and Comb Through:
Massage your scalp gently to stimulate circulation. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the gel evenly.
Leave It On:
Cover your hair with a shower cap and let the mask sit for 30-45 minutes.
Rinse:
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. You don’t need to use shampoo again, but you can condition if desired.
