Hemp Oil for Hair Treatment

Hemp Oil for Hair Nourishment and Enrichment

Hemp oil nourishes and protects the hair, stimulates its growth, and keeps the scalp healthy. It can restore and revitalize badly damaged hair and fight off inflammation.

Thanks to these properties, hemp seed oil has become a popular ingredient in hair products. To make the best use of this natural remedy, you can use pure hemp seed oil on its own, use it to create a concoction to treat your hair with or use it as a daily moisturizer.

It is a wondrous treatment for all skin types as well as all hair types.

Hemp Seed Oil For Hair - Where Does It Come From?

Hemp oil has green colour and a delicate nutty flavour. It is produced by cold-pressing the seeds of hemp, also known as Cannabis sativa. Hemp is a different plant than marijuana, which is famous for its psychotropic properties caused by the presence of THC.

The oil does not contain any THC or CBD.  The reasons for this are that THC is not present in this cannabis strain and CBD is found in other parts of the plant but not in the seeds. Do not confuse hemp seed oil with CBD oil in hair products, they’re not the same thing!

Some hemp oils can include some THC but this would only be a very low, negligible amount which would not have any potency whatsoever. Hemp seed oil does not have any mind-altering capacities.

If you are looking for an oil containing CBD (cannabidiol), you should be looking at a different product called CBD oil. CBD oil is made predominantly from the flowers of hemp, which have the richest concentration of CBD. This has many health benefits too and is used in different ways than hemp seed oil, though there are CBD hair products available as well.

Our hemp seed oil is of the highest quality and comes from Canada, which is known for its industrial hemp production.

Hemp Oil Benefits for Hair

Hemp seed oil benefits for hair are plentiful. It contains many substances beneficial for our body: a range of vitamins, hemp proteins, and the very important essential omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. Other substances included are carotene, chlorophyll, phytosterols, minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and a small amount of iron and zinc. There are four main ways in which hemp seed oil improves hair quality, although its assets are plentiful.

1. Hydration

If your hair is dry and brittle, hemp oil is exactly what you need. The essential fatty acids contained in it make it a fantastic moisturizer that will restore the hair’s shine. Hemp oil will substitute the natural oils that get washed out from our hair by the frequent use of shampoos. It will also prevent the hair from losing too much water so it stays hydrated. This is especially helpful in dry climates where the temperatures are very high or very low.

2. Growth Stimulation

Many people use hemp oil for hair growth. Hemp oil contains vitamins D and E, which, together with magnesium and fatty acids, encourage the growth of new hair. The oil also increases blood circulation in the scalp and protects hair follicles. In this respect it is of tremendous help to those who are yearning for longer hair.

3. Strengthening

Hemp oil supports blood circulation which is important for maintaining strong and healthy hair. The oil works as a powerful conditioner that increases the elasticity of the hair too, thanks to its ability to fill in the pores on frizzy hair. Hemp seed oil contains natural lipids that provide essential nutrition for your hair while improving its thickness, density and durability.

4. Hair Loss Prevention

Hair loss may be caused by a lack of protein, which is crucial for healthy hair growth. Hemp seed oil nurtures hair follicles that are then able to grow hair more effectively. Vitamin A is another helpful agent in preventing hair loss. If you are struggling with receding hair, try hemp oil for hair loss too! 

Healthy Scalp Thanks to Hemp Seed Oil

Hemp seed oil has positive effects on the scalp too. It keeps it from becoming dry and itchy and thus limits dandruff formation. Vitamin E and the antioxidants present in hemp oil can help restore irritated skin. Hemp oil is suitable for those who have sensitive skin and need some soothing remedy.

The oil also prevents harmful bacteria and fungal organisms from getting into the hair follicles and keeps your scalp clean and healthy.

To maximize the positive effect on your scalp, massage the oil into it regularly. A rejuvenated and nourished scalp will be able to produce healthier hair!

Hemp oil is great at nourishing dry skin and it can also relieve skin conditions such as acne or eczema. The oil is not greasy and doesn’t clog the pores.

How to Use Hemp Seed Oil for Hair

Hemp oil supports a healthy condition of your skin and hair whether you consume it orally or apply it topically.

Hemp oil can be used as a regular food supplement. Not only is it good for the hair, but it is also much healthier than other vegetable oils used for preparing food. However, hemp seed oil has a low smoke point which means it should not be used for cooking or frying, but you can easily use it in cold dishes such as salads, spreads or smoothies.

If you want to apply hemp oil on your hair, it can be used on its own: you only need to brush it into your hair, wait 30 minutes and rinse it out. Curly hair can benefit from daily leave-in moisturizing too, you only need to use a small amount and massage it into the middle and ends of the strands, avoiding the roots.

You can also treat your hair to even more complex nourishment with a DIY hemp oil hair mask. The best effect will be delivered if you use the hair mask along with your usual hair products, i.e., shampoo and conditioner. The results will be visible within a couple of days!
