I take the Flaxseed Capsules in which they have Omega 3 in them. I forgot the exact benefits of it but in general Omega 3 is beneficial not only to your hair but your overall health. Omega 3 can be found it fish as well such as Salmon...I have a friend who's a nurse so I get the low down on all that is good for you and what you need.

flaxseed oil and fish oil makes your hair very shiny and moisturized. The omega 3's in those oils are important for healthy hair. But only the new growth coming in will get the benefits of the oils, because hair is dead. So give it about 6 months so you can see a difference.

Do you just take a spoonful of the oil, or add it to a shake or something like that.

From Bargello's Regimen:
Evening Primrose: There is so much to say about this essential fatty acid. It contains Omega-6 Fatty Acid (Gamma-Linolenic Acid). This is a good Omega-6 Fatty Acid. It has several benefits of which I will only name a few. Some of the benefits are reducing PMS, clearing up eczema, helping your skin glow, minimize fine wrinkles, reduce cholesterol, help with your metabolism, and cure hair and nail problems. It helps nourish straw-like hair. You really only need 480-960 mg of GLA to reap wonderful benefits. I personally take 500mg/day. You should see results with Evening Primrose as early as 2 weeks of daily consumption. Your scalp should feel less dry and the hair growing in should feel softer and more nourished.
Flaxseed Oil: Now flaxseed Oil is wonderful in the sense that it contains both Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3 Fatty Acid) and Gamma-Linolenic Acid (Omega-6 Fatty Acid). Omega-3 is very important in our bodies too. We need both to help maintain a healthy body. Omega-3 has been know the help ADD/ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder). It is also essential for healthy hair, skin, and nails. It helps hair in the same way Omega-6 does. Why take both? Because the cells of the body need both to work properly. Our bodies do not make either of the Fatty Acids, we must supplement. Taking both will help the cells of the body work more efficiently and in return help growth of hair as well as health of hair and body. I take 500mg/day. I really don't think you need more than that, but experiment. You might find your body does need more.
I take both of those.

I started taking it b/c it's supposed to help w/ dandruff and dry/tight scalp. It takes a while to work though - it's been 3 mo. and I am starting to see results.

I eat flaxseed meal for overall health and fiber; you can't get the fiber from the oil, and it's hard to get from the whole seeds. I take fish oil for overall health. Good overall health results in glowing skin and beautiful hair.

you would recommend the meal versus oils or vitamins?
Yes it does
