DIY Gel for Shiny Hair Without the Crunch

Every woman with tightly curled and coily hair dreams of the styling product that applies like a cream, holds like a gel, does not have crunch, imparts shine, and is not drying. Does that exist? Well, I can only name a few that live up to all of those expectations. Many of us resort to layering moisturizer, milks, oil, and butters to make up for what the gel lacks but why? A styler does not have to be limited to adding hold and it should also be chock-full with nutrients.

Bri aka Smartistabeauty gives a DIY gel that does all of those things and it is completely organic, which is always a plus. Her concoction consists of the following:

• Flaxseed gel – packed with omega 3 fatty acids
• Chia seeds
• Vitamin E oil – to prolong shelf-life
• Fresh aloe vera – humectant
• Essential oil of choice
