Botanical Hair Revival: A Deeply Nourishing DIY Conditioner Treatment

When your hair feels dry, brittle, or dull, it’s a call for nature’s reset button. This DIY home treatment is packed with time-tested botanical power — a blend of flax seeds, fermented rice water, natural gelatin, and luxurious oils like argan or moringa. It’s simple to make, deeply restorative, and feels like a ritual straight from the Froya kitchen.

 


 

🌿 What You’ll Need

 

  • ¼ cup flax seeds (soaked overnight)
  • ½ cup rice water (fermented 12–24 hrs)
  • 2 tsp gelatin powder (for protein boost)
  • 2 tsp argan or moringa oil (for shine + softness)

 

Optional: Add 1–2 drops of rosemary or lavender essential oil for scalp stimulation and aroma.

 


 

💧 Why These Ingredients Work

 

  • Flax Gel: Rich in omega-3s and mucilage, flax deeply hydrates and defines hair.
  • Rice Water: Fermented rice water is full of amino acids and inositol, strengthening strands and reducing breakage.
  • Gelatin: Delivers protein to repair damage and improve elasticity — think of it as a DIY keratin boost.
  • Argan/Moringa Oil: These nutrient-rich oils add weightless shine, seal in moisture, and nourish the scalp.

 


 

🧴 How to Make It

 

  1. Soak flax seeds in water overnight. Strain the gel.
  2. Mix gelatin into warm rice water until fully dissolved.
  3. Blend in the flax gel and oil until smooth.

 


 

✨ How to Apply It

 

  1. Apply to clean, damp hair from roots to ends.
  2. Wrap with a warm towel or shower cap and leave on for 30–45 minutes.
  3. Rinse well and enjoy silky, nourished hair.

 


 

🌸 Who This Is Perfect For

 

  • Dry or frizzy hair
  • Curly hair needing hydration + definition
  • Damaged strands from heat or colour
  • Anyone who wants a natural, botanical reset

 


 

✨ Tips from the Soap and Serum Ritual Book

 

  • Use once a week for best results.
  • If your hair is fine or protein-sensitive, skip the gelatin and use more flax.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and use within 3–4 days.
