If you are in a bind for hair gel and don't have much cash on you, take a small handful of flax seeds, boil them in water and see a natural gel appear very soon! Simply strain out the seeds when the gel appears and you've got a great, natural hair gel that is cheap as all get out. Because it is natural, it doesn't last very long, but probably adding some vitamin E from a liquid tablet will make it last a whole lot longer.

My grandmother used to make this same recipe for hair gel from flax seed too, for my mother when she was a girl. It seemed to have been a long-forgotten recipe, so I was surprised to see that you had discovered it!
How much water? Just barely over the seeds? More?
