Detangling Gel Recipe

Ingredients:

• 5-6 okra pods (for natural mucilage, which provides slip)
• 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary (stimulates scalp and adds fragrance)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sesame seeds (for moisture and shine)
• 1 small onion, chopped (promotes hair growth)
• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, chopped (stimulates circulation)
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped (strengthens hair roots)
• 2 tablespoons flax seeds (adds more slip and nourishes hair)

Instructions:

1. Boil the Ingredients: Place all the ingredients in a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
2. Blend the Mixture: Once softened, allow the mixture to cool slightly, then transfer it to a blender and blend until smooth.
3. Strain the Gel: Using a fine strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into a clean bowl to separate the gel from the solids.
4. Apply: Section your hair and apply the gel generously, working it through each section to ease detangling.
5. Leave and Rinse: Twist your hair back and leave the gel on for 30-35 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Tips:

• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.
• This gel works well as a pre-wash detangler, helping to minimize breakage and soften hair.
