how to make flaxseed oil for hair growth - #36896
I am really struggling with my hair lately, it's like every time I look at it, there’s more strands on my brush than on my head! Ugh. I've heard that flaxseed oil can be great for hair growth, and I wanna try it but I have no idea how to make flaxseed oil for hair growth. My aunt used to make it, and she had super long beautiful hair – like, I always envied it. I’ve done some searching but there's not a lot of clear info out there. People talk about blending the seeds and some say to strain it, but do I have to do that every time I wanna use it? I've been using some store-bought oil, but I feel like making my own could be better. I've tried other oils like coconut and jojoba, but my scalp gets itchy and flaky after a while, probably allergic reaction or something? Also, can I just leave the oil on overnight or should I wash it off after a couple hours? I'm honestly kinda confused about how to make flaxseed oil for hair growth. The recipe seems simple enough, but what are the right proportions? Is there a certain way to store it? I'm worried if it goes bad. Really any tips on how to make flaxseed oil for hair growth would be super helpful! Thanks in advance!

Flaxseed oil can indeed be a valuable ally for hair growth, thanks to its omega-3 fatty acids, which nourish hair follicles and promote healthy hair. Making flaxseed oil at home is a bit different from other oils, but not too complex. Here’s a simplified approach that hopefully helps you recreate your aunt’s magic.
Start by taking 1 cup of flaxseeds and grind them into a fine powder. Use a coffee grinder or blender for this, but be sure not to overheat the seeds while grinding. Next, take about 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil in a saucepan. Add the ground flaxseed to the boiling water and stir frequently to prevent the powder from sticking. After a few minutes, the mixture will start to thicken and become gel-like.
Once you’ve reached this consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. This step is crucial because hot oil extraction might degrade the nutrients. Once lukewarm, strain the mixture using a fine cloth or sieve to separate the oil from the seed bits. Press or squeeze the cloth tightly to get as much oil as possible. You may have to do this multiple times.
For storage, pour the strained oil into a clean glass jar or bottle and refrigerate. Home-made flaxseed oil is sensitive to light and heat, so always keep it cool to maintain freshness. It’s generally good for a few weeks in the fridge.
When applying to your hair, it’s okay to leave the oil on overnight, or at least for a couple of hours to allow absorption. Try a patch test initially since you mentioned your scalp reacts to other oils; monitor your scalp closely after use. As for proportions, the outlined quantities should provide a decent batch that you can use over several hair treatments. Regular application can help promote growth, but if you’re sensitive or experience reactions, you might need to adjust the frequency of use.
Home extraction won’t match store-bought oil in potency due to processing differences, but it ensures no added chemicals. If flakes or an itchy scalp persists, you might consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner to address potential dosha imbalances.
