FlaxSeed Gel

FlaxSeed Gel

 FlaxSeed Gel is an all natural gel made from FlaxSeeds. FlaxSeeds are very good because its high in Omega 3 Fatty Acid, which make it great for your hair.  It also gives your hair great definition and hold.  FlaxSeed Gel defines the curls and is great for doing puffs, twist, twist-outs and braid out.   Here is my results from using FlaxSeed Gel on my hair:

           Two-Strand Twist                                                        Two-Strand Twist-Out



FlaxSeed Gel Recipe:

2 cups of Water
4 tablespoons of Flaxseeds
Add a few drops of Caster oil (optional)
Add a few drops of Olive oil (optional)
Add a few drops of Vitamin E oil (optional)
Add a few drops of Rosemary oil for preservatives (optional)

Instructions:

1. Boil 2 cups of water
2. Add 4 tablespoons of Flaxseed, stir continuously for about 5 minutes, until it became a clear liquid paste, don't let it get too thick, it makes it harder to strain.
3.Strain it in a bowl with a metal strainer or a old nylon stocking
4. Add your optional oils
5. Put in the refrigerator in a shut container. The Gel can last up to 3 weeks.

You can do 2 batches with those seeds to get a full container of gel. Then save the seeds later on in an air closed container in the refrigerator for another use.

New Natural Relaxer- Morrocco Method: Tame The Dragon Relaxer 24/7

 

I used the Morrocco Method Tame The Dragon Relaxer 24/7.  This is a New Natural Relaxer with Natural Ingredient, so you won't have to worry about getting any burns on your scalp.  I used this product to help loosen my curl pattern, so I can have better wash and goes with less shrinkage.  I washed my hair the night before and put my hair in medium size braids.  The instructions said, you have to apply product to clean hair.  Then in the afternoon, I applied it to my hair. When I applied it, its says you can leave it on your hair from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your hair type and how loose you want your hair.  So, I left it on for 2 hours, since I got fairly thick hair.


My Results:

I love I love how my hair came out.  It really elongated my curls and made them looser.  It gave my wash and go; more hang time. It made my hair feel might lighter and much softer.  You can repeat 2 to 3 times more to get more straighter looks.  This product, gives you look, without trashing your hair with chemicals.  Right now, they are running a special on their website: www.MorroccoMethod.com. Also,  Check out my video, to see how my hair was before and how it came out after. Please Click Here for the video.

The Natural Hair Care Expo 2012 in Raleigh, NC

On Saturday, June 16, 2012, I went to the Natural Hair Care Expo held in Raleigh, NC. It was a two-day affair. I had a great time. As soon, I go walked in, I walked around and checked out all the different hair venders. They even had talent, hair and fashion shows to watch too. Here are some of the highlights:

Product Review: Quench

Product Review: Quench

Quench is a homemade hair oil and butter made for Natural Hair. It was created by a You-tuber/  Blogger named "JourneytomyRoots" also known as Kimberly Gray. Quench lock's water moisture and keeps hair moist for days. Quench provides your hair with a natural sunscreen, maintains a balance for your scalp, feeds your hair, adds shine and strengthens your hair. Quench also help grow your hair fast with its Anti-oxidants stimulated cell regeneration. The Castor oil and minoxidil 2% ingredients in Quench plays the major role for hair growth with this product. Their properties help reverse thinning and promote growing thicker hair. Minoxidil is known as Rogaine.

  

Rogaine has been around for years to help treat thinning and balding hair. 

"JourneytomyRoots" has also given customers the choice to special-order Quench without Minoxidil if preferred. If your pregnant or nursing you should use the one without Minoxidil. 

Quench has great ingredients: 

Some of the main ingredients are: Whipped African Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Natural Oils, Castor Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, all Natural 

Preservatives, Minoxidil and more. It also has a cinnamon stick that can be used to mix up the product.

My Review: 

I definitely like this product. I use the one with the Minoxidil 2%. I just order my second-order today. I used it about every other night, but you can use it everyday. It's really given my hair great shine and moisture. Quench has also sort of like a peppermint smell and it has a great tingling feeling on the scalp. Peppermint oil is one of the ingredients in this product. The Peppermint oil delivers a cooling effect to the scalp. It also helps stimulate the hair follicles so hair can grow.I've really seen a difference since, I've been using Quench.  My edges have grown out since I've been using Quench. Its can also be used as a styling product to do braids and twist. Quench is definitely a product to purchase.
