Mira Rajput Kapoor’s smarts go beyond skincare. The savviness extends to the hair too. The influencer-cum-fashionista is profoundly fascinated by all things DIY, and her hair-care recipes are some of the most effective, powerful ones I’ve come across yet.
I recently discovered that she creates ‘hair gel’ at home from scratch, and this one has the answer to all your hair-related concerns. No kidding. You need to see what I’m talking about.
What Is This Hair Gel Mira Cooks Up?
Kapoor simply boils half a cup of flaxseeds before straining the mixture to create a gel-like substance. This is Mira’s all-natural solution for countering flyaways and frizz and maintaining the neatness of her look: simply running it through the hair.
But what else can flaxseeds do for the hair apart from enhancing the way it looks superficially? You’re going to want to know.
What Can Flaxseeds Do For The Hair?
Flaxseeds accelerate the growth of your hair. This is because they contain important vitamins like biotin, Vitamin B, riboflavin, pyridoxine, niacin, Pantothenic Acid, and Folic Acid; all of which strengthen the strands.
Vitamin E, another component of flaxseeds, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to soothe the scalp, prevent greying, protect the hair from UV-induced damage, and deeply condition the hair.
Some evidence even suggests that flaxseeds can balance the oil production and pH levels of the scalp. By calming the oil-producing glands, it ensures that the scalp doesn’t become too oily or dry. And therefore, the better the health of the scalp, the faster the growth of hair!
They’re rich in omega-3 fatty acids, that soothe inflammation and sensitivity of the scalp, and boost circulation to the scalp to supply your follicles with nutrients and oxygen. All of this positively impacts the rate at which your hair grows.
If you want to skip the whole DIY part, here are some flaxseed-infused products for the hair that you might like.
I know I’m all ready and prepped to put this DIY to the test.
