Any ideas anyone, how to make my own hair styling product? I don't want to buy the chemical cocktails from stores. I've tried mixing sugar, salt and water together as suggested somewhere, but I seem to need heaps of Sugar and salt in it, and the mixture seems to go bad quite quickly.
Please help!- Re: Natural Hair Styling KASS

MoreThis is a reply to # 874,181This is a recipe that was sent to me. I have never tried it but the person that sent it to me uses it and likes it.
Flax Seed Hair Gel
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp Whole Flax Seeds
1 cup water
Pure Aloe Vera Gel, if desired
Few drops of essential oil for scent
Instructions:
Bring water to a boil. Stir the seeds into the water and reduce heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until a gel-like lotion is formed. Strain through a fine strainer or cheesecloth into a small bottle. Add essential oils and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If desired, you can add some pure aloe vera gel for its moisturizing properties. Fill the bottle with flax seed gel until bottle is about 3/4 full, then fill to the top with pure aloe vera gel. Gel will not flake or make the hair hard or crunchy. Safe to use everyday.
Let me know how it works if you try it!

This is a reply to # 874,679Here's what I found out with the flax seed hair gel idea:
It will go bad in just a few days. I tried putting it first in a sealed container with some tea tree oil, then in an open container with no added anything, still the same. It does also make the hair greasy.
The hold is ok, it's not like any store product and it's not supposed to be, all together I'll probably keep using it until I find a better "glue" for my hair. :)- Re: Natural Hair Styling KASS

This is a reply to # 881,953I tried making this and found it too thick to strain easily so I returned it to the pan and added enough water to thin and heated just for a minute to incorporate then strained, returned it to the pan again a heated till the excess water was gone. It does need to be refrigerated as it doesn't have a preservative in it.
Disturbance, It may have been the amount of tea tree oil you added that made your hair greasy...you might trying back off on whatever essential oil you add.
I also found that Aveda has a hair gel made with flax seed. I'm not sure what the other ingredients are but they usually have somewhat healthy ingredients....thats an option if you don't mind paying the price not to have to refrigerate it.
Hope this helps!
