Natural Hair: Twistout using flax seed gel

Hey Curlies,

How I use flax seed gel for a great twistout:

Let me just start off by saying, I LOVE flax seed gel (tutorial here)! Not only are the seeds rich in omega-3's and healthy for body, the gel creates the BEST twistouts. I decided to make a new batch of gel on Sunday because I wanted to wear a twist out.

I washed my hair using Shea Moisture's Jamaican Black Castor Oil shampoo and deep conditioned with Eden Body Works Jojoba Moni Deep Conditioner. My hair had been extremely dry the last week and I think it has a lot to do with the weather changing. The spring and summer-like weather is returning, which usually means a shift of products.

The conditioner really helped bring my hair back to life! It was soft, moisturized and a little easier to manage. 

I created about 12-15 twists in my hair and pinned them in this style for about four days before I untwisted.
