THIS NEWLY RELEASED clip from the RTÉ 1 show Domestic Divas shows us regular punters how to make hair gel from flax seed and essential oils.

Host Cat Lawlor assures us that is “simple to make and cost-effective” and even says that, you know, actually it would be ”really crazy not to make it”.

Worry not, though! After she strains the mixture, she’s left with this entirely different consistency.
