Flaxseed hair gel?

Has anyone found a good source for buying this online? I made it once - it was a bit faffy - and my hair seems to really like it. Just tried again and it wasn't a success...I think I let it thicken too much so now I can't strain the bloody thing, and I have no patience for doing this every 10 days so if any curly girls have a seller I'd be grateful! Thanks

I just make my own. But I don’t let it boil for long. A couple of minutes after it starts to boil. Found if I left it as long as was suggested it went too thick.
You can do a big batch and freeze in ice cube trays and then all you need to do is defrost a few cubes each time.

I’ve made my own, it’s a right faff and goes off very quickly. I’ve found creme of nature Snot to be a good substitute, applied to soaking wet hair or emulsified with a bit of water before applying, gives a cast on my porous hair.
