Tips for Humidity and Frizz

Tips for humidity and frizz: 

Use hard hold gel, leave in what you think is a TON of conditioner, try a serum like curl keeper or original moxie hold up serum. Try avoiding glycerin and see if helps. Try plant film forming humectants like are in flax seed gel or the original moxie hold up serum. Some people's hair glycerin actually helps in the summer, so play with it and see what's best for you. :)

DIY Flax Seed Gel

FLAX SEED GEL

The ultimate curl enhancing gel: flax seed gel. Lightweight not sticky, feels natural, clumps curls, humidity fighting, cheap $.16 for flax seeds only...but you have to make it yourself. 

Here's my basic recipe:
1 1/4 cup water
3 tbls flax seeds

Boil water, add flax seeds, stir constantly with a whisk or fork, turn down to medium at a lower boil, boil until flax seeds float in the water and don't sink 3-5 min. When you lift the whisk you will see thin strings of gel. If you boil too long the strings will be too thick and you will have unstrainable goo. Give a final swirl and pour into a wire mesh strainer.

Add ins to strained gel:
Moisture: dietary aloe vera 1 tbls
More curl: Epsom salt 1/2-1 tbls could dry hair 
Hold: honey or agave 1/4 tsp
Thicken: Reheat strained gel, slowly add 1/4 tsp xanthum gum while whisking, careful it will clump
Scent-2 drops essential oil 
Deep moisture: a couple drops of coconut oil or any other favorite oil, careful can make you oily 
Add more or less as needed

Lasts 2 wks in the refrigerator so batch it and freeze it.

Best with a harder hold gel over it like la looks gel. FSG encourages curls but doesn't hold them very well. It is a very soft hold.
