is flaxseed good for hair - #22240
I am really curious about whether flaxseed is good for hair. A few months ago, I started feeling like my hair was getting really thin and brittle. It's super frustrating since I've always had pretty thick hair. My friend mentioned that flaxseed might help, like, improve hair health or something? I even read online that it has omega-3 fatty acids, but I dunno if that actually works for hair growth or all that! I tried using flaxseed oil, and I mixed some ground seeds into my smoothie. It's been a bit of an experiment, but I haven't noticed a huge difference yet. Also, I've heard about hair masks with flaxseed, but those seem messy to me, and I’m not sure where to start. Does anyone know or have experience if consuming flaxseed is good for hair, or maybe using it topically? Any tips on how often I should use it or how to incorporate it into my diet for hair benefits would be awesome! I really want my hair to be healthy again, but I also don’t wanna waste my time if its not gonna work ya know? Thank you!
