I personally had a lot of trouble straining this, so I read suggestions of putting the seeds in some panty hose and boiling them in that. I just simmered them for 6 minutes, before it turned into a gel and strained them.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
Thank you so much for posting this. I LOVE it. Keeps my curls held together without making my hair feel dry like gel does. My hair is really curly and this works so much better than any other product from the hair salon! ;D
Neat! I'm trying this...!
i wonder if you could simmer it in cheese cloth or something like it. that way you could compost the whole thing when finished.
smart idea. i'll do it the next time i make it!
you should post a pic of your hair.
Seconded. I want to see this in action before I goo up my hair.
you should post a pic of your hair.
yeatsa- yup! kinda!
baby doll- i never thought about adding coconut oil!! so smart! i'm gonna have to try that next time.
I can't wait to try this in my hair tomorrow!
Thanks!!
So it's like a "leave-in conditioner"! :-D
yes. for curly hair. but it doesn't make it crunchy like normal gel. it just makes it look really good.
