CBD Is the Key to Long, Healthy Locks

Everyone has bad hair days but what if there was a product that could reduce the number of times you have to wear a hat to the shops. CBD has been gaining popularity in the beauty world as it earns its reputation for creating longer, thicker, more hydrated hair. Whether you want to combat hair loss or hydrate your hair CBD is the perfect product for you.

What is CBD

CBD is naturally occurring in the body and it imparts a feeling of relaxation and calm without the “high” associated with cannabis. It isn’t only an incredible hair supplement though; CBD is widely used as a natural medication for a variety of different ailments. It is proven to treat epilepsy, anxiety, depression, and pain caused by inflammation. We didn’t just discover CBD recently; people have been using it for centuries.

Soothing CBD For a Dry Scalp

A happy scalp leads to happy hair so what happens when you find yourself itching a dry head? CBD oil is the superhero of this story bringing that moisture back into the hair shafts while reducing inflammation of the scalp. This means it can help combat unwanted dandruff and eczema.

“CBD made waves in the beauty industry for its amazing benefits to the skin, and your scalp is no different,” Alli George, the marketing manager at Daintri, an online mecca for all things CBD, adds. “It’s regenerative for the skin, so it helps the scalp maintain necessary things to keep it healthy, like good blood circulation and quelling dandruff and sore or irritated hair follicles.”

CBD for long, healthy hair

Whether you’ve noticed a bit of thinness around your hairline recently or you want to add some inches more quickly than CBD is for you. Depending on what your hair goals are the way you take this bliss molecule might change.

Orally: Taking CBD orally can mean different things to everyone. This is definitely the most fun method because the options are endless. CBD is a natural medication known for reducing anxiety and improving sleep. This is beneficial for all aspects of your life, including your hair.

When you aren’t getting enough sleep your body creates extra cortisol which is responsible for weight gain and hair loss. CBD will help get those cortisol levels down to help reduce hair loss.

Topically: This method is more targeted towards your specific hair needs. When applied directly to your hair the benefits are easy to see right away.

1. CBD is an anti-inflammatory which is where many of its medicinal benefits stem from. For your hair, this means that it’s healing the scalp while reaching sebaceous glands which are responsible for secreting oil. This oil is important to lubricate your thirsty hair and promotes growth.
2. CBD oil increases blood circulation and your follicles love it! With all of this extra blood flow comes more nutrients that are delivered right to your hair. It also helps remove harmful toxins which will help your hair grow more quickly while looking luscious and healthy.

Home-Made CBD Recipes for Healthy Hair

There is always the option of purchasing a shampoo and conditioner that have been made with CBD already in them but, where’s the fun in that? I’m going to take you through some CBD-rich recipes for your hair that will leave you with the best hair days you have ever seen.

CBD Hair Growth Serum

Ingredients:

• 250 MG CBD Oil
• 5 ML Jojoba Oil
• 1 ML Tea Tree Oil
• 1 ML Avocado Oil
• 1 ML Argan Oil
• 1 ML Castor Oil
• 0.5 ML Vitamin-E Oil
• 5 drops of Vanilla Extract

Don’t be intimidated by the number of ingredients. If you don’t already have them lying around your house, don’t worry! After trying this serum, you will want to make more. This is a fairly easy recipe. All you need to do is mix everything on the stovetop until it reaches 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius).

I’ve chosen these recipes for how easy and quick they are. Using natural products is amazing but with a busy schedule, we don’t all have the time to spend hours slaving away over a pot. Mix all of your ingredients together until it is evenly mixed. That’s all there is to it and all there is left to do is store it in a container. Feel free to get creative with this basic recipe and alter it to your specific hair needs. Adding coconut oil will add shine, tea tree oil can soothe the scalp and lemon will help lighten those locks.
