Ingredients

Water
Flax seed (Powdered or whole)
Olive Oil
Coconut Oil
Essential Oil
Lemon Juice (Optional)

Method

* Making Flax Seed gel is pretty easy, you need around 1 cup of water for 4-5 tablespoon of flax seeds. You can use grounded flax seed or whole. Using whole makes it easier to strain compared to the powdered form.

* You need to add flax seed in water and boil the mixture. Keep stirring it once in a while. You will notice that the flax seeds will start going down and a froth keeps forming on the top.

* Once you achieve a string like consistency, you can switch off the flame and the gel is almost ready.

* Using a strainer, strain the gel out from the seeds. You can reuse these seeds for one more time. Once you strain it, you will get a brownish gel like mixture (depending on the color you use) and it has a consistency of aloe vera. You can store this gel for upto 2 weeks in the fridge.

* You can stop it here or improvise it. You can use this gel for face and also to style your hair. Since I was making a hair mask, I added the other ingredients into it.

* You can add any types of oil. I used olive and coconut oil as they were the ones I had. Using an essential oil is optional. I have been dealing with light dandruff and itchy scalp and thus I added tea tree oil and lemon juice.

* Once you add the oils, give it a good mix and your hair mask is ready to be used! Do not store this mixture in the refrigerator and use it at once.

* You can section your hair and apply it to your scalp and hair ends. It is slimy and flows away. So, one way of using it is to rub it onto the palms and then apply onto the hair. Using a brush can also be a good option. You can also dip the comb in the mixture and comb your hair.

* Leave on the mask for around 30 minutes to 1 hour and then shampoo and condition as usual. You can also use the plain flax seed gel as a conditioner.
