Distilled Water
43 grams of Flax Seed Whole
10 grams of Shea

Step
1: In your glass bowl weigh out the distilled
water and flax seed. Using a mixing
spoon, give these ingredients a good stir.
Then, cover your bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to set overnight.
Step
2: The next day, use a spatula to get all of the
ingredients into a pot. Place the pot on
the stove and set the
burner on a high heat setting. Generously stir the mixture as it heats.
Step
3: Once the mixture reaches a
consistent boil, reduce the heat setting to medium. Keep stirring. The mixture
will thicken.
Step
4: When the mixture has cooked for 5 minutes, you will notice that the flax seeds will stay suspended
in the mixture. Now, turn your heat off.
Remove the pot.
Step
5: Place your pantyhose over the container you are going to
be straining into. Carefully pour the
mixture into the nylon. Once all of the
mixture is out of the pot, rinse out the pot.
Step
6: Please Note: The gel will be hot. Next, apply pressure to the pantyhose to release the gel away from the flax
seed. Collect all of the gel in your container.
Step
7: Remove the nylon
containing the flax seeds. Place your thermometer into the gel. When the temperature of the gel reaches 120
degrees Fahrenheit, add the 3 grams of Optiphen, 10 grams of Shea butter, and 13 grams of White Peach
and Silk Blossoms Fragrance Oil.
Step
8: Gently use
your whisk to
incorporate the Shea,
Optiphen and fragrance into
the hair gel.
Step
9: Once the gel has cooled, carefully pour it into your bottle using the
funnel. Finally, apply the pump top.
Your Shea Butter Hair Gel is now ready to use. Enjoy!
