Hey curlies and wavies ,
For those of you familiar with using flaxseed gel, how do you apply yours?
I LOVE flaxseed gel for my hair. It gives me really touchable, frizz-free curls and is also conditioning. The only downside for me is applying it. As you know, it has a very goopy, snotty, egg white consistency. It WANTS to all stay together in a blob! So when you try to apply it, its difficult to get it to spread. The recipe I use is 1/4 cup flaxseeds to 2 cups water.
I'm waiting for some more flaxseeds to come in the mail, but in the meantime I'm trying to find tips and tricks on applying this goopiness! I've been searching the internet over for tips, but haven't really found anything. Most people just say apply it in sections, which is what I already do. It still takes a bit of effort to get it in evenly from root to tips.
I had an epiphany this afternoon and thought I might try applying the gel directly to my tangle teezer ( mine is a Goody Tanglefix; fits in my small hands!), kind of squishing it in-between the bristles, then brushing it through wet hair, reapplying gel to the TT as needed. Then scrunch to activate curls. Think this will work?
