If you want stronger, healthier hair, CBD might be the way to go.
It’s fairly new to the beauty scene.
But as far as natural products go, it’s already earning its place at the top.
It’s packed with fatty acids and antioxidants which are key to strengthening, repairing and protecting your hair from damaging free radicals.
Not only that, it also keeps your scalp nourished and healthy which promotes natural hair growth.
CBD seemed to burst in out of nowhere and it’s popularity continues to rise. With more people looking for more natural products with ingredients that benefit the body, many people have made the switch to CBD beauty products. That includes haircare…
But first, what is CBD and why is it so good?
CBD is cannabidiol - a hemp-derived compound. It’s an anti-inflammatory which means it works wonders on the skin to fix topical issues. CBD works against itching and irritation and skin problems such as acne, psoriosis and eczema have been solved with the use of CBD topical products.
This means a healthy scalp, healthy hair growth. Hair growth starts at the root so a healthy scalp encourages natural hair growth.
The CBD oil used in haircare products is made up of 21 amino acids that build collagen and elastin in your hair.
These amino acids work to repair damaged hair by rebuilding the proteins. The antioxidants in CBD also prevent damage to hair from free radicals in the environment.
CBD is also packed with fatty acids (which our bodies can’t produce) such as omega 3, 6 and 9. Fatty acids promote hair growth and work to deliver the same benefits as other hair oils, such as argan oil.
But due to its popularity, there are hundreds of products on the market now which claim to contain CBD. This makes it more difficult to work out which is best for you.
There’s also lots of misinformation about CBD. And just because the packaging has a cannabis leaf on the front, it doesn’t mean it actually contains the CBD which is going to help you. (These products might still contain the nourishing oils but if you’re buying it for the benefits of CBD, you won’t be getting any.)
Here are the top CBD haircare products you need to try:
1. Emera Nourishing CBD shampoo and conditioner
A shampoo that not only contains CBD oil but also a blend of hemp seed oil, avocado oil, green tea and chamomile. So basically a bottle of nourishing antioxidants and fatty acids to keep your hair super healthy (and shiny too!).
2. CBD Daily Shampoo
CBD Daily shampoo also contains argan oil and together these will keep your hair super strong and healthy.
3. Prose Shampoo
This one is a little different - the Prose shampoo is personalised to your needs. So whilst not every shampoo will contain CBD, if it’s recommended for your hair, this is definitely one to try.
4. Nomad Transcend Serum
If hair growth is what you’re trying to achieve, the Nomad Transcend Serum is worth trying. It contains CBD oil with white tea extract, chamomile and rose water. This combination has the power to reduce irritation, strengthen hair and promote hair growth. It’s a little on the pricey side but if it works, it’s definitely worth the price.
5. Emera Nourishing CBD Scalp Therapy
Emera’s signature product, Emera Nourishing CBD Scalp Therapy calms and nourishes the scalp, reducing irritation and conditioning. A healthy scalp promotes healthy hair growth so a Scalp Therapy product can help in the restoration and protection of your hair.
6. Malin & Goetz Hair Pomade
CBD protection doesn’t have to stop when you leave the shower. The Malin & Goetz hair pomade is a styling product which works to hydrate the hair and protect the scalp. It contains a bunch of natural ingredients including cannabis sativa seed, aloe plant extract and meadow foam seed to keep the hair and scalp protected from free radical damage whilst also firmly holding the style in place.
