Flaxseed Oil for Hair

Crafted from the seeds of the flax plant, flaxseed oil is known for its nutritional benefits. This oil is packed with antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins that allow it to provide certain health benefits when consumed as a food-grade oil or when added to cosmetic and hair care products. Historically, it’s believed that flaxseed oil may improve hair health and boost its appearance.

To use flaxseed oil on your hair, create a hair mask by combining flaxseed oil, other hair-healthy carrier oils, and a few drops of essential oils for fragrance. Saturate your hair with this mixture and allow it to sit for fifteen minutes before rinsing out.

Alternately, add flaxseed oil to your shampoos and conditioners, or use it as a prewash and saturate your wet locks with it before following up with your regular shampoo routine.
