01. Flaxseeds.

A popular superfood, flaxseed is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, fibre, and antioxidants. The multiple benefits afforded by it extend to being used in hair care as well. It is a go-to DIY-able treatment for hydrating dry hair, fighting frizz, and boosting hair growth. They are also rich in vitamin E, which enhances hair health, boosts strength and improves elasticity.

Enriched with vitamins A, C, and E, folic acid, choline, and antioxidants, aloe vera is a potent hydrating agent for your hair. It also boasts antipruritic properties and high levels of proteolytic enzymes, which make it a good treatment for keeping your scalp healthy. Pure aloe vera gel can also be used to instantly detangle stubborn tresses, condition them and tame frizz for a smooth finish and texture.

03. Castor oil.

Enriched with ricinoleic acid and omega-6 fatty acids, castor oil is known for adding shine to dull and lifeless hair. It is also a natural conditioner for your scalp and hair ends alike. When used in hair masks, it can help add thickness and volume to thin and limp hair as well.

Vitamin C-rich lemon juice is a citrusy solution to many hair issues, including dandruff and an overly oily scalp. Lemon juice makes your tresses silky smooth and adds a glossy finish from root to tip.

5. Honey.

It is necessary to keep your hair hydrated in order to maintain a frizz-free and straight texture. This is where honey comes in. With emollient and humectant properties, it helps lock in moisture and shine. It is also responsible for adding lustre to your tresses!.

How does homemade hair straightening gel work?

As seen above, this natural hair straightening gel is made of potent ingredients that help soften and smooth out frizzy and wavy hair. Flaxseed gel is a protein-rich treatment that forms the basis for this gel. Keratin, which is the primary compound present in hair, is nothing but a strand of protein. The gel almost works like a DIY hair smoothening session at home. In combination with the other ingredients, the gel is able to penetrate deep into the hair cuticles, repair damage, add nourishment, and deeply condition the tresses for a straighter texture...

Homemade hair straightening gel: method of preparation.

Step 01: Prepare the flaxseed gel

Put a cup of filtered water in a saucepan and add 2 tablespoons of flaxseed to it. Let it boil for around 2-3 minutes on a low flame until the water turns into a thick, gel-like consistency. Remove from the heat and use a strainer to separate the gel from the flaxseeds; pour the gel into a non-metallic container.

Step 02: Add the rest of the ingredients.

Add the rest of the ingredients to the flaxseed gel: 2 teaspoons of aloe vera gel, 1 teaspoon of honey, lemon juice from half a slice, and lastly, 2 teaspoons of castor oil. Mix well so that all of the ingredients are perfectly blended together....

How to use homemade hair straightening gel.

Step 01: Part your hair into sections.

To ensure that the gel covers every inch of your hair, you need to apply it in sections. Brush out all your hair to get rid of any knots and tangles. Spritz with lukewarm water in a spray bottle to open up the cuticles. Grab a small section of your hair, and secure the rest with a claw clip.

Step 2: Put on the gel

Apply the gel to damp hair, section by section, with your hands.Focus on covering hair strands properly from root to tip. Go over each strand a couple of times, massaging the tresses and your scalp gently. Once you are sure the gel has covered the whole strand, pull it straight downwards and let it fall on its own. Do this for the rest of the hair as well, making sure your sections are small. Step 3: Stew and take a showerLeave the gel on your hair for 30 minutes. Do not use a clip to hold it up and don’t put it up in a bun. The hair strands need to fall straight to work best. To wash, use cold water (as warm water will cause frizziness and re-introduce waves) and get all the gel out of your hair, pulling your strands down to keep the straightening intact. Do not shampoo and follow up with a mild conditioner, all the while keeping the strands straight.

Use a wide-toothed comb and comb your strands downwards gently while air drying them. Do not towel dry, as it can strip away the moisture, but you can use a mild frizz-fighting serum to keep any flyaways in check. Do this once a week for a month and your hair will be noticeably straighter and smoother!
