Everyone knows of 4/20.
It’s the globally-recognized day of celebration amongst marijuana smokers.
But, what isn’t commonly known is that ingredients such as CBD, in addition to hemp and cannabis, are used in many beauty products, including but not limited to, shampoo.
For more information on the compounds found in cannabis, read below:
Cannabis: A family of plants with two unique classifications, including Sativa and Indica. Cannabis is never to be confused with hemp, which belongs exclusively to the Sativa family. Cannabis has two properties; CBD and THC. These are the properties that carry psychoactive effects, or as some call it, a “high”.
Hemp Oil: Harvested from the marijuana plant, it doesn’t contain the properties that cause consumers to get high. Oil made from cannabis offers many benefits; it promotes healthy hair and will re-strengthen hair against damage, will moisturize the scalp, and can trigger new hair growth.
CBD: CBD has stolen the spotlight amongst the cannabis community. Nowadays, CBD can be found in an array of consumer products, such as body oils, lotion, and you guessed it, hair care products. CBD is an extract from hemp and marijuana plants and contains anti-inflammatory properties that help to treat and cure conditions including eczema, psoriasis, and acne. When it comes to your hair, CBD-infused oils/shampoos will help to improve scalp health and even stimulate hair growth.
