What is CBD?
and why is it good for your hair?
CBD The New Wonder Drug…
In the last few years CBD has hit the natural health scene BIG! And it’s no secret that it can do wonders with your body, from helping you sleep more, to helping relieve anxiety. But what is CBD?
What is CBD?
CBD is short for cannabidiol , this is an active natural chemical ingredient in the cannabis sativa plant, otherwise known as hemp. Unlike THC another popular compound found in the cannabis plant, CBD does not contain any psychoactive effects.
Cannabinoids like THC and CBD interact with the human body via the endocannabinoid system, or ECS for short. The ECS is responsible for regulating bodily functions like sleep, our immune systems, as well as mood. However, where THC produces a tell-tale ‘high’, CBD is entirely non-euphoric.
This has made it a very attractive, very legal option for many looking to incorporate it into their lifestyle to balance their health and wellbeing.
So How Does It Work For Your Hair?
CBD has great anti-inflammatory properties. This is fabulous for the use of soothing eczema and scalp inflammation. Ingredients in CBD oil regulate the functioning of your immune system, calming skin inflammation and decrease hair loss. This is helpful in the treatment of conditions such as folliculitis or psoriasis. CBD also reduces dandruff and dry scalp problems by influencing the scalp’s natural sebum and oil levels.
CBD has been shown to reduce sebum production in the scalp by interacting with receptors called TRPV1 receptors. These receptors are located on your hair’s follicles and regulate sebum production. When these receptors are activated by CBD, they decrease sebum (your oil) production in the scalp. This is great because when you have too much sebum on your scalp, it can lead to issues like dandruff and dry scalp due to dehydration.
In addition to decreasing sebum production, there are also antimicrobial properties within CBD that fight against infections in the scalp. These antimicrobial properties reduce the risk of scalp infections, that cause dandruff and may also lead to other problems such as hair loss if left untreated!
