Flax seed question

Does anyone know if flax seed acts as a humectant or not?

I can't find a good humectant free gel so I was thinking of making FSG but wasn't sure about flax seed's properties. I know it's moisturzing - but is it a humectant?

My hair is not a fan of humectants except in very specific dew points.

TIA!!

    I don't think it's a humectant -- lots of people on the boards use it all year 'round.
    Type 2c/3a with lots of hair and a super sensitive scalp! Med/slightly coarse texture, low porosity and elasticity.
