Flaxseed Oil & Results?

[ynggftd&mxd]

alright ladies, i KNOW there are many of you out there that use flaxseed oil religiously or just whenever.
i tend to lurk on this board but lately, my hair and skin have problems with moisture retention, even though i work out 5-6 days a week, drink plenty of water, eat a healthy diet, and don't smoke. i'm confused too because the humidity is no joke and i thought that all the moisture in the hair was supposed to help! i really think that flaxseed could be my fix.

so . . .
1- how many times a day do (or did) you take it?

2- did you see results? ( in your hair, skin, nails, etc)

3- and if you saw results, after how long? ( a week, a few days, a month?)

any replies are much appreciated!!!!

Porosity may be a problem.

YoungGifted,

You said you noticed the problem "lately". What events have taken place recently that you know of? Did you switch soaps? Did you relocate to a different city? Did you add or remove any particular item from your diet?

I started eating flax-laden cereal recently. I still don't know if the improvement in my skin has more to do with that or the fact that I stopped using soap to clean my skin. Also, when I moved to an area with hard water, both my hair and skin suffered. I became sure it was the water quality when not just the hair on my head started breaking; the carpet fibers began to split too . I have since gotten these issues under control, but I first had to seek out the cause.

1- how many times a day do (or did) you take it? I take 2 large pills a day after dinner.

2- did you see results? ( in your hair, skin, nails, etc) Definitely, hair is more supple, nails are stronger.

3- and if you saw results, after how long? ( a week, a few days, a month?) One week. It's been a miracle.

I have nothing to add for the Flax Seed question (except that it will take months to see a difference) but hair steamers are great for this problem
