Orbeez are a type of reconstructive hair and skin technology. They have become very popular in the past year due to the rise of baldness and the increase in popularity of let-it-go hairstyles.
Orbeez are natural powders that are mixed with water to create a paste. The user applies the orbeez to their hair and combes through until it looks like hair. Then, they comb through their scalp and let sit for several minutes until it shifts back into its own shape.
The user then wears it for about a week before cutting or removing. They can re-apply more orbeez if they stop after the first week, since they will have new hair coming back in place.

Buy a bottle of oil
When making orbeez, you will need to have some kind of oil to mix with the dough. If you do not have any oil, then there are a few alternatives to the dough. You can use cold butter, peanut butter, and honey to make your orbeez instead.
Either of those would work however, as a substitute for the oil. Once made, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Make sure to let your orbeez come to room temperature before setting up structures with them. This will make it easier to shape the orbez and bake them correctly!
Orbeez are very popular food items that kids and adults love. They are very simple to make and fun for everyone.
Mix the oil into the polyethylene pellets
Once you have the orbeez mixture, it is time to mix it into your model. You can do this in several ways, but the best way is to use a hair dryer.
Make sure your hair dryer has a bottom to hold the weight of the dryer and that the bottom is tall enough to fit over your model’s head.
Then, using one of two ways to mix the orbeez into your model, you can:
With your hands or with a comb
Which method you use depends on whether you are making an arm or legguard or an entire body suit. We suggest using comb technique because if you were wearing armor with this type of suit, then you would need more protection against damage to the skin and equipment. If you were making an arm and legguard, then we recommend using only one hand due to protection needs.
Put the mixture into an ovenproof dish
Once you have made your orbeez, the next step is to make the case. This is the part where you put your orbeez into your case to bake.
To make the case, you must first cut a circle out of your dough. Then, you must add some crinkles and/or details to it to make it look more like an orb. You can leave them out if you want, too!
You then must put your mixture inside the case and seal it! This may take a few tries, but when you get it, you will know because there will be a soft creaminess to the orbez.
Once that is done, let them sit until they are warm and then enjoy! They are very tasty and fun to play with.
Heat the oven to 200°F (93°C)
Once your orbeez are cool enough to make, you must heat the oven to at least 200°F (93°C) to create the final, harden structure of the orbeez. This process takes about an hour, so make sure to allow time for it to take!
Once it is created, your orbeez must be cooled down completely before putting them in a jar to store. Make sure to put a lid on the jar so that water does not escape and water can enter when it is cold.
This process may seem complicated at first, but after making a few batches, you will learn how do this easily! Orbeez are always a fun project to do with students as they can learn some basic machines and structures.
Bake the pellets for 1 hour
When the granules have cooled, roll them in a ball and place them in your mouth. You will taste the lemon and cinnamon, which are ingredients in the orbeez. This is important – if you cannot smell the cinnamon or taste it, then you cannot make the orbeez!
Now that they are warm, roll them in your mouth and let them dry out as you chew. This takes a few minutes!
Once it is dry enough to swallow, mix in some milk to make it soft and drink. The orbeez will keep for several days so make some before school or sports practice to have during lunch!
Make sure to keep your kids away from these so they do not get hooked! Or be prepared with an antidote if needed.
Cool the pellets completely
When making orbeez, the key is to let the dough rest and cool completely before shaping and rolling. This allows the dough to shape and retain its texture, as well as ensures any air isobiles.
Some people recommend working with the dough just slightly warm, but then once it comes up long enough to roll, it needs to be cold so it stays rolled. If he puts it down hot, he will have to wait for it to cool before rolling!
Either way you do it, let the dough sit undisturbed for at least an hour before shaping and rolling. This makes sure all of the dry ingredients are mixed in correctly and that there are no lumps.
General tips: Make sure to use a high quality butter or margarine here so that your orbez contains enough oil to roll your pellets roughly 12” in length.
Mix your favorite liquid into the cooled pellets
Orbeez are not just for summer, winter, or autumn. They can be made all year long! There are many reasons to make orbeez in the fall and winter, so do not worry about that being a summer friendly food.
Making orbeez is a fun way to learn how to make foods. Orbeez are an easy way to learn how to mix and measure ingredients and create a product.
There are many ways to make orbeez. Some use warmed milk as the liquid, while others use juice or water. What kind of drink you use does if it makes orbezels better.
Your friend can choose whatever flavor they want: vanilla, chocolate, fruit flavored, etc.
Place them in the mold and let them dry completely
Once they are made, you must let them stand to dry completely. If you try to take them out during this process, they will break apart and possibly turn white or brown. You can do this either by leaving them in the warm oven or heat box until completely dry, or by leaving them in the warm setting on the oven or heat box for several hours as the drying process takes awhile.
