And, I cut a leg off a pair of heavy tights (like the Spanx thickness) to strain it. I stretch the open end of the tights taut over the mouth of the tall container. And, let the foot of the tights hover down into the container, but not touching the bottom of it.

I...I used it a few summers ago and really liked it. I thought It didn't provide enough hold either, but like you said in hindsight it was just right. It was very similar to KCCC and it took my hair forever to dry completely-even in the summer. I still buy flax, but I used them in food preparation for raw cuisine like flax pancakes and flax crackers lol. I may try it again for my hair.M.

I tried a large mesh teaball and didn't get good results cause the seeds need to move around in the water to release the gel.So I guess I'll try another method when I find one.UHG HELP!!! Cause I truly love this stuff!

I love your name :-) I actually ...Thanks Valentina! I love your name :-) I actually have a ton of flax seed left to use so I will definitely be trying it again. I have a "bang" now- so the more natural effect of not using a heavy gel will probably look really fly. A sock you say? lol. I used a cut up tee shirt- that was green- so the green dye started coming out. A white sock sounds much better!

I have been using it for 2 years and my hair has more or less your texture. It is cheap and natural and I add everytime 2 drops of a different essential oil as a fragrance. How I managed to use it for hold:<br /><br />1) I air dried for a while before using the gel. It worked better.
