Sea Moss Newbie...
*UPDATE*<br /><br />THIS STUFF IS AMAZING IN MY HAIR!<br />I like it as much or more than flaxseed gel and I may try combining the two in my next experiment! It has amazing hold (it even lays my 4A edges down) and is super healthy for my strands, especially my ends so they don't break when rubbing my clothes, etc. It also makes a really great detangler so I'm going to try it as a prepoo on my next wash day to stretch out my Nature's Little Secret Fenugreek Prepoo that I wish Amazon sold but doesn't.<br /><br />So... Maybe this isn't the greatest, most organic brand for nutrition so value, IDK — but for this price, I can make enough gel for multiple hair uses for the rest of the year and buy another brand to put in my smoothies if necessary...so, sistahs stock up!<br />___________________<br /><br />*ORIGINAL REVIEW*<br />I'm super confused by these reviews but this is the only brand I've ever purchased as I've been taking the ISM capsules and wanted to see if the gel in my smoothies was more effective and beneficial.<br /><br />I followed the directions exactly except I cleaned and rinsed more times because I was concerned with debris. I watched a few YouTube videos and read other sets of instructions on Google, so, I'm fairly confident that I did it right. And, my gel turned out perfect! I only used a large handful and it produced way more gel than I expected so I'm going try it as a face mask and use it in my hair as it's supposed to be really healthy for both skin and hair.<br /><br />I tried some in my smoothie and could not taste it which was a concern. My gel looked just like the authentic gel I saw online and in videos. I'm excited to use it in my DIY hair products.<br /><br />Also, I think sea moss grows all over the world not just off the coasts of Ireland. I need to do some more research but I don't think the origins make a huge difference so long as it is wild grown (this says it is) and authentic.<br /><br />If I try another brand and it is drastically different from this, I'll stand corrected. But, as of right now, I'm satisfied that I got what I paid for and I will update this if anything changes or if my skin or hair or body have any negative response.
