What is currently understood about CBD oil:
1. Potential Benefits of CBD Oil
1. Moisturizing the Scalp and Hair
CBD oil contains fatty acids like omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9, which may help moisturize the scalp and hair, reducing dryness and flakiness.
2. Reducing Inflammation
Its anti-inflammatory properties might help soothe scalp conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dandruff that can contribute to hair loss or discomfort.
3. Stimulating Hair Growth
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which might promote homeostasis and potentially support hair follicle health.
However, direct evidence on hair growth is still limited.
4. Strengthening Hair
CBD oil is rich in amino acids, the building blocks of protein, which may strengthen hair strands and reduce breakage.
5. Improving Blood Circulation
When applied topically, CBD oil may improve blood flow to the scalp, supporting overall follicle health.
2. How to Use CBD Oil
- Scalp Treatment: Massage a few drops into your scalp and leave it for 15–30 minutes before shampooing.
- Hair Mask: Mix with other oils (like coconut or argan oil) and leave on your hair for deep conditioning.
- Shampoo/Conditioner: Look for products infused with CBD oil for routine use.
3. Things to Consider
- Purity Matters: Choose a high-quality, third-party-tested CBD oil (preferably full-spectrum or broad-spectrum).
- Check for THC: Ensure THC levels are compliant with local laws (typically <0.3% in the U.S.).
- Allergies/Sensitivity: Always do a patch test first.
- Use once or twice a week for best results.
- Always do a patch test before using any new mixture.
- Store unused mixtures in a cool, dark place.
