The Beauty Behind Hemp Oil for Hair

Now that cannabis has the spotlight in the media as more states begin to legalize it, a rise in curiosity towards the plant has peaked. Among these is the question of whether CBD oil benefits hair and improves its health. It’s true – CBD oil extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant is great for the hair and scalp, for several reasons:

CBD Oil Keeps Hair & Scalp Moisturized

Whether living in a dry, arid climate or suffering from winter frizzes, CBD oil can help the hair lock in moisture by penetrating the hair shaft and coating the hydro-lipid layer. The result is silky smooth hair with less damage and a decrease in dandruff.

CBD Oil Helps Prevent Dandruff

The ultimate culprit of dandruff is a dry scalp, causing particles of skin to flake off. Once again. CBD oil replenishes the scalp’s moisture, much like it’s used to provide moisture for psoriasis while preventing inflammation. It’s anti-inflammitory properties bring us to the next point:

CBD Oil Rouses Hair Growth

For hair to lengthen, it needs Omega fatty acids which help to open hair follicles and reduce inflammation in the skin, ultimately improving hair growth as follicles can freely produce and release keratin/hair. CBD oil is rich in these omega fatty acids, which in turn promotes better hair growth.

CBD Oil Helps Build Proteins for Keratin Construction

Hair is made of keratin, a fibrous protein that forms the structure of each individual hair. By providing the amino acids needed for keratin to properly grow, CBD oil thus is a wonderful care option for its improvement.

CBD Oil Doesn't Weigh Hair Down

Products that claim to moisture hair and/or scalp have been known to weigh hair down, causing it to feel heavier and look lifeless. Moisturizing with CBD oil will keep hair naturally exuberant, falling about the face without the confines of a heavy moisturizer that sticks to the hair rather than being absorbed by it.

CBD Oil Strengthens Hair

Since it provides the building blocks for keratin needed for hair growth, this ultimately keeps hair strong and healthy, making CBD oil a component in resilient hair that fails to break or allow split ends.

These are the wonderful reasons why CBD oil from the hemp plant is a great addition to any beauty regime regarding hair care. A common question I’ve seen floating around is whether using products with components from the cannabis plant will cause the user to test positive for cannabis/marijuana in their system. The answer is no! There is no THC in CBD oil, and CBD oil is taken from the hemp plant which lacks THC. And yes – it’s legal in all 50 states, so you don’t have to worry if you’re breaking the law via your shampoo and conditioner.
