About This Video

If you have type four natural hair that tangles easily and makes detangling long and painful, I made this video for you. I show you exactly how I make okra gel at home using the cold-pressed method (no heat at all), because it’s simple and it helps preserve the natural properties of okra. I wash the okra thoroughly, cut off the heads, slice it into small pieces, add it into a clean one-liter jar, fill with water, close the lid tightly, and place it in the refrigerator overnight (about 8–12 hours). By morning, the water turns thicker and slippery—that’s your okra gel—then I strain it with a sieve or clean cloth and store it in a clean container. I also explain why okra gel works so well for tightly curled textures: okra is rich in mucilage, a natural slip agent that reduces friction so your fingers or wide-tooth comb can glide through. It helps minimize breakage and shedding, supports moisture retention (which type four hair really needs), and it’s packed with vitamins A and C plus antioxidants that support a healthier scalp and stronger strands. You can keep the gel in the fridge for 5–7 days, or freeze small portions to make it last longer. If you try this method, let me know how it goes—God bless you.
