wash ands go with my homemade flax seed gel

I did a wash n go today for the first time in probably 6-8 months. I used flaxseed gel I made. My tiny curls are hanging tough. Shrinkage is just foul but the definition is cool. Thinking about pineapple it tonight and see how day 2 fairs.  its alittle crunchy right now but bouncy. I washed and didnt put an oil underneath the gel so I think that has something to do with it because when I use it other times it is soft. The gel itself is almost like eco styler...more gooey...snotty for lack of a better word. Its in an old soap dispenser bottle.  I added some tea tree, rosemary and vit E.
