My experiments in using Homemade Flax Seed Setting Lotion.
A normal part of the process for many a vintage hair enthusiast.
Although interestingly not a very old recipe in the UK. Quince Seeds are more commonly found as the main ingredient in Edwardian and Victorian recipes.
Flax Seeds recipes may well have been copied from people using it to look after C4 curls and can be used by Black women and people caring for Natural hair with both home made and commercial Flax Seed lotions and gels.
My recipe is very simple it consists of.
(Thank you to Sue Leonard for the recipe and the flax seeds).
1tsp of Flax Seeds (whole)
1 cup of Water (American Cup)
Simmer for 7-8 minutes
Strain (add essential oil if you like)
Wait for it to cool
Keep in fridge
Apply to clean wet or dry hair with a spray bottle or fingers.
Set in your desired style and leave to dry.
