Does CBD make hair grow?

What is CBD Oil

The acronym CBD stands for cannabidiol, a substance that occurs naturally in the cannabis plant. CBD (cannabidiol) is often attributed to the effects of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) when they are two completely different substances. It is THC that is responsible for the well-known psychoactive effects of cannabis, not cannabidiol. This repeated and widespread confusion contributes to the bad image of CBD, which is not a drug at all.

It is true that when CBD oil is extracted, some THC remains that cannot be filtered out 100%. That said, legal dosages should not exceed 0.2 to 0.3% within the European Union, and at this level, THC has no effect on the body. Cannabidiol is therefore completely legal since it has no psychoactive properties.

How CBD Works on Hair

If scientific studies are to be believed, CBD oil has been shown to contribute to healthy hair. Indeed, CBD oil contains a quantity of macro and micronutrients that would be naturally beneficial for hair growth.

On the one hand, it is in fatty acids that CBD oil is richly composed. Omega 3, 6 and 9 are an integral part of this substance, without forgetting the GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid), known for its properties that promote the growth and density of hair.

On the other hand, it is the fatty acid that CBD oil is composed of.

On the other hand, CBD oil contains a good amount of amino acids, which are the basic constituents of proteins. It should be noted that hair is composed of 95% of a protein referred to as keratin. So it seems logical that supplementing with amino acids can help you bring your hair back to life and protect it from dryness and potential breakage.

Finally, CBD oil is also rich in vitamins and some antioxidants, including the following:

• Vitamin A
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin E
• Magnesium
• Phosphorus
• Potassium

Many micronutrients are conducive to good hair condition. Vitamins, fatty acids, amino acids, CBD has everything you need to protect your hair and promote rapid growth.

Which CBD Oil to Choose for Your Hair

When used for hair health, CBD oil is not to be taken orally, and it is best to massage it into your scalp to fully benefit from its effects.

To do this, you need to incorporate CBD oil into your hair routine, into your shampoos, conditioners, moisturizing masks, scalp serums and all your hair care products. It is also possible to find ready-to-use hair products such as CBD-based shampoo or gel in the CBD market.

You should know that applying a few drops of classic CBD oil directly to your scalp is possible. If you have the time to prepare your treatments at home, we recommend mixing CBD oil with other natural products such as coconut oil or castor oil for optimal results.

How to Apply CBD Oil to Your Hair

Here we offer you some effective methods to apply CBD oil to your scalp and maximize its benefits.

The pre-wash massages

For scalp massages, you need to equip yourself with a bottle of CBD oil serum. Pour the equivalent of about three tablespoons into the palm of your hand, and rub your two hands together, to soak them in and warm up the oil a bit.

Then apply your hands to the skull, laying them flat and massaging very gently. Once this step is over, place your ten fingers on your skull, and trace small circles with them without taking them off the scalp. It is the skin of the skull that you need to move, not your fingers on your skull.

After you've made a few circles, move your fingers to other parts of your scalp and repeat this process. When you're done, simply take your skull between your two hands flat and press lightly. All of these movements serve to stimulate your scalp to have optimal irrigation.

You can then start massaging the lengths of your hair without necessarily replenishing your CBD oil. Your strokes should be slow and gentle but firm enough to get the oil in.

Then let it sit for at least an hour, more if possible, as your hair will continue to self-massage without your intervention. Finish by washing your hair with a gentle shampoo to avoid greasy residue.

The oil is a natural and effective way to treat your hair.

Using CBD on the ends

Here's a different method from the previous one, but it's still effective for your hair. All you have to do is take the equivalent of a teaspoon of CBD oil serum in one hand and then rub it with the other as with the previous method. Then, apply the CBD oil directly to the ends, making sure to glide gently, not rub.

This approach is ideal for avoiding breakage. We recommend repeating it several times a week if you opt for this method to get good results.

Can CBD Oil Fight Hair Loss?

We now know that using CBD oil can improve hair health and make it grow faster. But what about its anti-calvitia action? Is the latter proven?

Sometimes, the scalp can become crowded with inflamed cells of toxins, which impairs hair growth and causes hair loss. CBD oil has been shown to combat these types of inflammation and, therefore, promote cell regeneration. In addition, CBD moisturizes the skin, regulates sebum production and therefore improves scalp health.

From this point of view, we can safely say that CBD oil has an action against hair loss, stopping these inflammations and maintaining the scalp.

On the other hand, some people are prone to baldness. In this case, CBD oil can slow down hair loss, but it won't be able to stop it completely.
