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:

  1. Heat up the ground flaxseeds (using double boiler).
  2. Add shea butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and pure honey.
  3. Stir until melted (on medium heat).
  4. Once oil separates, use a fine mesh strainer to extract the oil.
  5. Add essential oil.
  6. Refrigerate for 45 minutes, until solid.
  7. Remove from the refrigerator, and whip with a hand mixer for 5 to 10 minutes.
  8. Store it in an airtight container.
