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
overnight.
Step
2: The next day, use a spatula to get all of the
ingredients into a pot. Place the pot on
the stove top. Set the heat setting to
high. Stir this mixture generously as it
heats.
Step
3: Once the mixture is at a consistent boil, reduce the
heat setting to medium. Keep
stirring. You will notice as the mixture
cooks that it will become thicker in consistency.
Step
4: After the mixture has cooked for 5 minutes, you will
notice that the flax seeds will stay suspended in the gel. Now, turn your stove off. Remove the pot.
Step
5: Place the pantyhose over the container you will be
straining into. Now, carefully pour
the mixture into the hosiery. Once all
of the mixture is out of the pot, rinse the pot out.
Step
6: Next, apply pressure to the pantyhose to get as much gel
out as possible. Caution: It will be hot. When finished, remove the pantyhose containing
the flax seeds.
Step
7: Next, place your thermometer into the gel. When the
temperature reaches 120 degrees Fahrenheit, add 3 grams of Optiphen and 13 grams of Icy
Shine Fragrance Oil. Carefully, use your
whisk to incorporate the fragrance oil and Optiphen into the gel.
Step
8: Once the gel has cooled, use a funnel to pour it into
your bottle. Apply the pump lid.
Your silky hair gel is now
ready to use.
