You have to try this to believe it. I will never go back to store bought hair products. I think it works best for curly hair, applied when hair is still wet and then left to air dry. But people of all hair types should try and see if you like it!
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup whole flax seeds
5-6 drops essential oil (your favorite scent)
Boil the flax seeds in the water for about ten minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent seeds sticking to bottom of the pan. Cover and let sit for one hour. Strain through a fine mesh–I use an old nylon stocking. Add essential oil.
BONUS: you can save and use the cooked flax seeds as an additive to your morning oatmeal, grits, or baked goods. They have plenty of fiber and flavor.
