Ok....so what about flax seed oil...??

You know Kris I was thinking about purchasing some but wasnt sure of the benefits
Will have to do some research on that & get back to you

I found this link on naturally curly I hope that it helps with your questions about flaxseed

I also found this about using it for facial mask as well

the stuff tastes nasty as hell
I don't think I have ever tasted flax oil. Perhaps you can try a small amount in a smoothie/shake.

I have some flax seed oil too and it tastes horrible! Doesn't smell that great either. I was wondering what I could do with it.

Ok, so here is some info I found on http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/hair_problem.htm

A lot of beneficial effects are brought to hair by the use of supplements which contain many of the essential fatty acids-such herbal supplements include the oils of the flaxseed and the evening primrose herb. Hair is often very dull looking and dry without enough omega-3 fatty acids in the body, flaxseed oil contains these fatty acids in abundance-the use of these fatty acids will restore life to lifeless hair. The use of supplemental flaxseed oil will also reduce the itching and flaking from the scalp which result in dandruff. This oil can also be very useful in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis affecting the scalp. The scalp and the hair are moisturized by regular topical use of the evening primrose oil as massage oil on the scalp.

Haven't been able to find any recipes for the actual oil, but there are a few for the whole flax seed, which I don't have. But I imagine we can use the flaxseed oil the same way we would use castor or evoo or any other type. Hope these help though.

Thanks for the info about the flaxseed oil I was considering a purchase I will read the articles that you have posted here

i have never used the oil, but i make gel from flax seeds and i LOVE it in my hair

I make flax seed gel too and I love it! Guess I'll just try adding the oil to something like a shea butter whip so I can get rid of it.
