goo (aka linseed gel)

this one goes for curly girls who are tired of looking for the ideal gel or leave in for their coils, spirals and ringlets. I call it goo (cause it's a goo!) but its result will impress you.



i n g r e d i e n t s :
  • linseed
  • water
  • a little cup for good measure
  • a piece of pantihose
  • a little pot with lid


p r e p a r a t i o n :

add in a cooking pan 1/4 of linseed to 2 cups of water. let the water boil, always stirring.


when it starts cooking, it will give a kind of foam, that's ok. continue stirring and let it cook in medium temperature for about 2 minutes. the liquid will turn a bit thicker but not yet into a goo, however, that's the time to turn off the oven.


use the pantihose to strain the goo. let it cool down.


that's it! you'll want to store your goo in the fridge cause it's a 100% natural product, therefor preservative free. the color might vary, mine always turns out brown, but I've seen others that turn out transparent. it smells like nothing and will define your curls without drying them out, greasing them or damaging them. apply generously and enjoy bouncing curls!

a t t e n t i o n !

strain the goo while it's still hot and liquid, else you won't make it!

Isabel, há a forma correta de aplicar para poder formar cachinhos. Eu vou ensinar em outro post ;-) mas com a Denman já é pra dar certo. Como você passou?
