Benefits of flaxseed oil on hair

Flaxseed oil has several hair health benefits:

Moisturizes : Flaxseed oil is rich in fatty acids, which help hydrate and nourish hair, preventing dryness and breakage.

Promotes Hair Growth : Omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed oil can improve blood circulation to the scalp, which in turn can promote hair growth.

Reduces Hair Fall : Flaxseed oil is also known to help reduce hair fall by strengthening hair follicles.

Makes hair shinier : Flaxseed oil can enhance the shine of hair, making it shinier and making it look healthy and shiny.

Treat Scalp Problems : Flaxseed oil can help treat common scalp problems like dandruff, itching, and dryness, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Prevents split ends : The hydrating properties of flaxseed oil can help prevent split ends, helping you achieve healthier, stronger hair.



Flaxseed oil: here's how to use it on your hair

Pre-shampoo treatment

To benefit from a super hydrating action, you can opt for a compress with a small amount of flaxseed oil on the scalp. This massage will help increase blood flow to the hair follicles and promote hair growth. At this point you can proceed with the application of linseed oil on all lengths. Leave on for about 30 minutes before rinsing.

For even more intense and deep hydration, you can opt for the application of a mix of natural oils such as coconut oil and castor oil.


No-rinse treatment

On particularly dry and brittle hair, you can use flaxseed oil directly on dry hair. Take a few drops and distribute on the tips to seal them and prevent breakage.


Post-shampoo treatment

Flaxseed products can be applied to wet, towel-dried hair in place of conditioner or a traditional creamy hair mask.

To guarantee all the hydration you need, you can opt for Recovery Hero , an energizing and restructuring mask that uses the thermo-heat effect of the cap to amplify the hydrating action of the product.

Always remember that the use of linseed oil, as well as other natural oils, must be appropriate for the type of hair we have. In fact, if your hair is oily, it is better to focus on using linseed oil only on the lengths and in a pre-shampoo pack.

If your hair is dry, parched and brittle already from the scalp, the best thing to do is to use linseed oil as a compress on all the hair, including the scalp, and also apply a few drops on dry hair to tame the any remaining frizz.
