Flaxseeds and natural hair
Linum usitatissimum also known as flaxseed and linseed is one of the oldest plants. It is packed with essential macro and micronutrients that are highly beneficial to the body. It helps to reduce inflammation, prevents cholesterol from being deposited in your heart’s blood vessels, lowers the risk of ischemic heart disease and stroke, promotes regular bowel movements and reduces blood pressure.
It contains omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, fiber, vitamin E, thiamine, vitamin C, protein, anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants. The antioxidants promote a healthy scalp by reducing free radical damage. Also, it stimulates circulation in the scalp and collagen production, while slowing down hair breakage. The anti-inflammatory properties help to treat and prevent scalp conditions such as dandruff, eczema, itchy scalp, dry scalp and dermatitis.
The omega- 3 fatty acids in flaxseed aids in nourishing the hair and scalp, protects natural hair while defining the hair, and improves the elasticity of the hair fibers. This seed is an excellent source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which can help inhibit the enzyme called 5-alpha reductase compound. This blocks DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and reduces pattern hair loss in men.
In addition, flaxseed moisturises, strengthens and repairs damaged hair follicles, prevents dry hair, and it promotes hair growth.
