Flax Seed Hair gel

2 big teaspoons of Flax seed and one cup of water. Bring both to a boil for 10 minutes and immediately strain it and keep in an airtight container. DO NOT BOIL FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. It has good shelf life if kept in refrigerator (Can last upto 1month for good). You will be surprised at the effectiveness of this gel. 

Lemon hairspray:

This is a quick and easy hairspray.However, it does take u about 2-3 rounds of spraying before you get the desired result but if it’s natural then it’s worth 2-3 rounds of sprays isn’t it ?

What to do:

Take the juice out of one big lemon, about 1 full cup of it’s juice and boil it with 1 and half cups of water for 2 minutes and then simmer it for another 10 minutes on low flame.Take it out. Strain if required and pour in a spraying bottle (new, cleaned and dried) and keep in the refrigerator and use as desired.

In a mixer grinder or with a hand blender mix them thoroughly and keep in an easy to pour out long necked bottle and use on hair when u wanna comb them out easily and have a glossy appearance even without shampooing.
