flax is the main ingredient i believe 95% xaxum refers to the stren gth or purity the way 99% aloe does
in ingreedients the 1st is always the main 2nd next so technicaly the water is in higher quantaties then the flax then flax then xaxum byu the time u get to the 3rd u could be talking vbery small ammounts sincde after that u might be talking a couple drops
its hard to guess at ratios but cuould be like gallon 1/2 gallon 1/4 cup 1/2 teaspoon 10 drops 3 drops 1 drop etc
it took vicki months of experimenmting to perfect it
and i belkoeve she double extracts the flax seeed oils somehow like boils scrapes off the oils then puts it through another process cai=use flax seed oil on its own in its noermal state would be a disasfrtrer to try to wsh out (linolium floors are made from flax seed oil thats hardened somehow)
she explained the process to me but i forget the details

Just wondering if you tried it on your locs yet? I was toying with the idea of making my own as well, but I was concerned it would not wash from my locs well and I didn't want anything to build up in them.

I've been using some homemade flax seed gel I made and it's helped me make crazy progress! My locks are seriously what they should look like five months from now if I hadn't used it.
You don't have to be heavy with it. Just smooth it lightly down your lock starting just below the root and yep, it'll take care of most frizzies. I adore the stuff. And yes, no residue!!
