This all-natural shine-enhancing curl custard (gel/oil) provides a firm hold for curl definition, while helping to restore moisture to the hair. Flaxseeds are rich in Vitamin E and Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega 3 may help in hair loss prevention, hair thinning, and dry scalp and dandruff. Flaxseeds help prevent breakage by enhancing elasticity. Shea butter is filled with Vitamins E and A, plus essential fatty acids, that will help add moisture to the hair.
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup of Ground Flaxseeds
- ¼ cup of African Shea Butter
- 2 tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp of Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp of Pure Honey
- 3 drops of Essential Oil
Directions:
- Heat up the ground flaxseeds (using double boiler).
- Add shea butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and pure honey.
- Stir until melted (on medium heat).
- Once oil separates, use a fine mesh strainer to extract the oil.
- Add essential oil.
- Refrigerate for 45 minutes, until solid.
- Remove from the refrigerator, and whip with a hand mixer for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Store it in an airtight container.
