Packed with omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseeds are a game-changer for dry, lifeless hair. They help restore shine, boost hair strength and elasticity, and deeply nourish the scalp for healthier, longer locks.

Boil some flaxseeds in water 'til it gets slimy like goo. Strain it (get rid of the seeds!). Rub this goo on your head and hair. Wait a bit, then wash it out. Makes your hair feel good and strong.

Get some flaxseed oil, warm it up a little. Rub it well into your head. Let it sit for a while, then wash your hair. Helps your head get the blood flowing, which makes hair happy.

That flaxseed goo? You can also put a little bit on your hair after you wash it. It helps with the frizz and makes your hair shiny.

Mash up some of that flaxseed goo (or just the ground-up seeds) with some plain yogurt. Slap it on your head and hair. Wait, then rinse. Yogurt's got stuff that makes hair strong.

Grind up some flaxseeds and throw 'em in your smoothie or your morning oatmeal. Eating them helps your hair from the inside out.

Toss a little bit of ground-up flaxseed into your shampoo. Or, boil the seeds, strain the water, and use that water to rinse your hair after you wash it. Makes your hair feel nice.

Grab some flaxseed oil and mix it with other good oils like coconut or olive oil. Warm it up and rub it on your head and hair. Let it sit, then wash. Gives your hair a deep drink and helps it grow.
