hi i take a tablespoon a day b4 bed, for 2months now, my ends are moist and even oily...less breakage will be the first thing unotice and how moisturized your hair feels. it took me around 2-3 weeks to notice a difference. my roots smell like flaxseed and even an area around my nose secretes oil that smells like flax. my skin is soft and i dont scar anymore 
i think it works well with biotin and it pushes these vitamins out with the oil into the scalp and hair. i dont get major growth if flax is missing from the equation (in my sig) ps - a tablespoon of the stuff i take is equal to 9,300MG

I take it. I take the capsules though. I have been taking 1500 miligrams a day. Now, I am upping it to 2,500mg. I don't know how long it took to see results, but I noticed after my last touchup that my roots were moisturized and shiny just like when I used to take biotin daily. For some reason, I fell off of the biotin bandwagon. I am gonna go pop some right now.

I have chronically dry hair but the flax seed oil has helped.
I mostly take the oil for it's anti-inflammatory and health heart benefits. A great side effect has been some silky smooth skin

How does this stuff taste? I had to take liquid Cod Liver Oil as a child and the taste makes me want to 
. I was interested in Flax Seed Oil but someone said it makes the skin oily too...oily skin makes me breakout .

I started taking flaxseed oil long before the hairboards. It has a LOT of benefits. It only took a few days before all ashiness was gone from my skin, leaving it very smooth. My hair went from dull to shinier also. I take a tablespoon each day of Spectrum organic flaxseed oil. It is recommended to take one tablespoon for each 100 pounds of weight each day.
ETA:
Flaxseed oil can be found at the health food store. Make sure its refrigerated though and in a dark colored bottle. This oil goes rancid within hours and must be kept either in the freezer (that's what I do - it never freezes) or in the fridge. I like the Spectrum brand for its buttery, nutty taste. BTW, flaxseed oil cannot be cooked with, it can only be poured on food.

Hi, i take the Holland And Barrett Version...not sure if i saw one in the US but GNC own holland and b..
i take my flaxseed STRAIGHT, it tastes like peanuts. i just pour it into a tablespoon and knock it back, and drink a lil water afterwards. the taste dissapears vry quickly.
I have a very oily face and so far so good. I use Neutrogena'a new product for acne prone skin (I have a mild form of acne...it comes on like a zit rash..little bumps on my forehead and nose and sometimes right jaw and neck but the Neutrogena has been great..since Proactiv turned on meLanelle said:How does this stuff taste?

) Maybe use the flax seed but find products to help with your oily skin.

faith, I was at the healthfood store the other day looking for coconut oil(for my hair), and they were showing me the coconut oil that you ingest and cook with. I was too embarrassed to tell them, no the coconut oil for the hair. So I discretely went and purchased a bottle of the extra virigin coconut oil that you "supposed" to cook with. I was thinking to myself too, "I ain't ingesting this stuff, it's for my hair."

I currently use a product for my skin to prevent any nasty breakouts...but I'm really just thinking about the time I used castor oil and some other over the counter hair oil preparation and the stuff leaked onto my face...horrible skin pigmentation. I've never had severe acne but after that the aesthetician became my best friend. Of course, since flax seed is supposedly good for you maybe it won't cause the same problems....since it's not hair oils leaking into my face at night while I sleep. I can't believe ProActiv quit working for you though...I used Klear Action in the past but now I've gone back to Phisoderm for economical reasons.
