      Milled Flax Seed will not work well, because it will not strain right. You will have pieces of seeds in your gel. It is best to use the whole one.

      How often can one use the flax seed gel for hair grooming? How do you know when it has spoiled?

      It depends on the style, if I only style my hair once a week and need a bit of hold, I use it. I try not to use it too often between washes so as not to create product build up. I only make enough for 2 weeks. Always keep it in the refrigerator. By the way, I research further regarding using milled flax seed. You can try using it, but strain with pantyhose so that all the seeds will be caught, do not use a strainer.

My hair is breaking off, especially in the center, what should I do?

  If your hair is breaking off, especially in the center, it could be due to various reasons such as: * Over-manipulation (e.g., excessive styling, heat damage) * Lack of moisture or protein * Split ends * Breakage from chemical processing or coloring * Poor hair care habits To address this issue, consider the following steps: 1. Reduce manipulation: Minimize heat styling, use gentler hair ties, and avoid excessive brushing. 2. Moisturize: Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, and consider a hair mask once or twice a week. 3. Protein treatment: Apply a protein-based treatment to help repair and strengthen your hair. 4.

Can weight loss medication cause hair loss?

Image
  Yes, some weight loss medications can potentially cause hair loss as a side effect, though this is not common. Hair loss may occur due to several factors related to these medications, including: 1. Nutrient Deficiencies : Weight loss medications that suppress appetite or alter how your body absorbs nutrients (e.g., orlistat) might lead to deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals like biotin, zinc, iron, or protein, which are crucial for healthy hair growth. 2. Rapid Weight Loss : Significant or rapid weight loss itself, whether aided by medication or not, can trigger telogen effluvium , a temporary form of hair shedding caused by physical or emotional stress on the body. 3. Hormonal Changes : Some medications may indirectly affect hormone levels, which could impact hair growth cycles. 4. Specific Drug Effects : Certain medications, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide), may list hair loss as a rare side effect due to changes in metabolic o...

Can Fibroid affect Hair Growth?

Image
  Yes, uterine fibroids can indirectly affect hair growth, though the connection is complex and not direct. Fibroids themselves do not cause hair loss or changes in hair growth, but the hormonal imbalances and symptoms associated with them can influence hair health. Here’s how: 1. Hormonal Imbalance : Fibroids are often linked to an excess of estrogen or an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone. Hormones play a critical role in the hair growth cycle, and an imbalance can lead to thinning hair, slower growth, or hair loss. 2. Iron Deficiency (Anemia) : Heavy menstrual bleeding, a common symptom of fibroids, can lead to iron deficiency anemia. Low iron levels have been linked to hair thinning and hair loss, particularly a type called telogen effluvium . 3. Stress : Chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms associated with fibroids can lead to physical and emotional stress, which can disrupt hair growth cycles and contribute to hair shedding. 4. Medication...
