how to consume flaxseed for hair growth - #22997
I am kinda in a rut right now with my hair. It's been thinning out a lot lately and I've heard that flaxseed could help with hair growth. I read somewhere that flaxseed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are supposedly good for hair but I'm not sure how to consume flaxseed for hair growth. Do I need to grind it? Should I mix it with something? I tried throwing some in my smoothie this morning but I’m not confident I did it right. Like, is raw flaxseed better or do I need to toast it or something? I also found some oils at the store that have flaxseed in them, but I’m curious if consuming flaxseed directly has more benefits for hair growth than just using oil. I want to make sure I’m getting the right nutrients, you know? Plus, how often should I be doing this? Is there a limit to how to consume flaxseed for hair growth, or could I go overboard and face side effects? Ugh, I just want my hair to be healthy again. Any suggestions on how to really make flaxseed work for me? Appreciate any tips!
