Flax seed gel

I love, love, :heart FSG! I have fine, medium hair. I put FSG in damp hair. I use FSG to slick crown when bunning.

Heya, anyone want to chime in (especially curlies) on their experiences with Flaxseed versus aloe vera gel(AVG)?

We've been doing CG with my husband's hair and I usually apply aloe vera gel as one of the last steps after we do LOC, but I'm wondering if flaxseed gel is a better option? He has F/3B hair and it's pretty thirsty. The AVG seems to help tame his curls a bit (helps them 'clump') but I'm wondering if we should be open to other gel types!

AVG, even directly from my plants, makes my hair (and skin) dry. I know I'm in the minority on this one. But I love flax seed gel. I don't make it often enough, but it clumps curls and stops frizz. It works best for me when I just do it simple-water, flax seeds, that is all. No additives. I freeze some in squeeze bottles, and leave one in the fridge to use. I feel like I really can't apply too much, so one less thing to worry about.
