When we search the Internet, it is not strange to find natural alternatives to improve hair health, such as flaxseed hair gel. In recent months its popularity has spread more and more, causing many people to wonder if it is an alternative to consider.

For that reason, since Hospital Capilar We want to solve all doubts in this regard, so that you can help your hair in the best possible way, avoiding everything that could end up being more harmful than helpful. Do not miss it!

What is flaxseed?

Flax is a type of seed used many times as a food supplement, since its high fiber content makes it used to relieve constipation and improve gastrointestinal flow.

Like other types of seeds, its popularity means that we can also find it in other containers such as oils or nutritional supplement pills.

In recent months it has become fashionable to boil flaxseed to extract a kind of gel that, according to many sources, is beneficial for the hair.

Benefits of flaxseed gel for hair

So is it good to use flaxseed hair gel? Next, we want to tell you some of the benefits that have been mentioned about this home remedy, and why many people have been encouraged to try them:

Molds and hydrates hair

One of the most widespread uses of flaxseed gel is as a natural shaper. Its texture encourages many curly-haired people to try this alternative to help their hair have the style they really want.

Although a natural alternative that has also been mentioned as a moisturizer, It does not replace in any case treatments that have been specifically designed, studied and tested to get perfect curls as tahe curly system products.

It is sebum regulator

Flaxseed in the hair, due to its properties, is also considered as a sebum-regulator of the scalp. 

Acts as a painkiller

Along with this point, linseed is also used for its protective and calming function. This makes people with wounds, acne or psoriasis on the skin also encouraged to try this home remedy.

Conditions and nourishes hair

Finally, another of the benefits that is usually attributed to flaxseed gel is that it is a natural conditioner that, due to its texture, also helps nourish the hair.

Do you substitute consumer food products for specific products?

Having explained what flaxseed gel is and what benefits are attributed to it, it is important to now talk about a question in question: do these consumer food products replace specific hair products?

The answer to this question is simple: a home remedy made with dietary consumption foods will never replace specific products specially designed to help hair. To give you an example, snail drool is said to be good for your hair. Does that mean we use snails as a treatment? Not at all. What we do is take that ingredient and, from it, extract the rich part in everything that we know is going to be beneficial. 

Hair products have studies behind them, are dermatologically tested and include everything necessary to help hair, compared to ingredients such as a nutritional supplement that, if we do not treat properly, will not help us.

For that reason, although we want to try this type of home remedy, and it is not even wrong to try one from time to time - as long as we know that it will not spoil the hair - but it should never be a substitute for products specifically designed for hair.
