I had made myself flaxseed gel years ago and liked it but it went rancid quickly and I never did it again. When I saw Miribel Naturals reel making flaxseed gel, I got excited. I use the LUS curl system and my hair seemingly got used to it and stopped responding to it. When I got my gel in the mail, I was on day 2 curls that fell into waves. I spritzed it with water and put gel in, and they went back to curls but felt like nothing was in them! No crunching, no cast. It looks and feels like you have nothing in your hair but it still holds the curls. Magic. I love this stuff.
