In an era where commercial hair care products are increasingly causing consumers to worry because they contain many chemicals, a natural solution that is being favored by women is homemade flaxseed gel. Not only does it help to style, this gel also deeply nourishes, improves frizz, stimulates hair growth and protects hair from environmental damage.
Dr. Aashna Kanchwala, a dermatologist and hair expert in India, shared with Health Shots: flaxseed hair gel is especially noteworthy, unlike conventional products that are packed with flexible substances, fragrances and toxic additives, flaxseed gel takes advantage of the power of nature to nourish and style without causing side effects.
Outstanding benefits of flaxseed gel
Flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B and E, both of which are important nutrients for healthy hair. When cooked, flaxseeds secrete a gel layer rich in nutrients, which has the following effect:
Deeply moisturizes: The amount of natural oils in flaxseed helps restore moisture, making hair smoother and stronger.
Control frizz: gel covers each hairline, smoothes the diaphragm and makes hair easier to sticky.
Promotes hair growth: Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B help hair follicles grow, reducing breakage.
Anti-dandruff and Scalp inflammation: Natural anti-inflammatory properties help improve scalp condition, limiting dandruff and itching.
