    TLDR Flaxseed can naturally smooth and improve hair health.
    The review discusses the potential of flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) as a natural hair smoothing agent due to its moisturizing, strengthening, and nutritional properties. Flaxseed is rich in fiber, lignans, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, which help hydrate hair, reduce frizz, improve texture, decrease scalp inflammation, promote hair growth, and protect against environmental damage. Despite these promising benefits, the review emphasizes the need for more clinical studies to determine optimal formulations and long-term effects. Overall, flaxseed is highlighted as a sustainable and natural ingredient for hair care products aimed at enhancing hair health, smoothness, and glossiness.
