Hailed as a cure-all for everything from anxiety to pain, and even showing up in skin care products, it’s not surprising that CBD has made its way into hair products; the compound offers a variety of potential benefits.

CBD Basics

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of many phytocannabinoids derived from the cannabis plant. Unlike the THC compound (also derived from cannabis), CBD is not psychoactive, meaning it won’t leave users with an intoxicating “high.”

Researchers are increasingly looking at phytocannabinoids, and CBD in particular, for a myriad of benefits, with applications in hair care quickly taking off.

Why CBD for Hair?

Although limited research on CBD in hair exists, those incorporating it into their beauty regimen are seeing promising results. And based on what we already know about CBD, there’s definitely cause for optimism.

CBD contains several components that are well-established hair helpers:

• Antioxidants, including vitamins A, C, and E.
• Nutrients essential to hair growth.
• Omega fatty acids 3, 6, and 9.
• All 21 amino acids

The combination of these ingredients in one product creates a powerhouse of benefits, with the potential to improve hair growth, strengthen, repair, protect, and promote scalp health. Plus, CBD has anti-inflammatory effects, which many anticipate could lend relief to irritation, dandruff, and other scalp-based problems.

The cannabis-derived compound is also known to regulate sebum production, making it beneficial for use with all hair types.

Amplifying CBD Effects

While CBD and other phytocannabinoids provide many benefits on their own, when combined, the effects of each heighten—a phenomenon known as the Entourage Effect. LEAF & FLOWER is taking advantage of this with its CBD-charged products.

LEAF & FLOWER combines CBD with CBC (Cannabichromene) and CBG (Cannabigerol) to achieve the Entourage Effect in their exclusive CBD Corrective Complex.

Both CBC and CBG are also non-psychoactive, quelling fears over any association with THC. Research on CBG and CBC is especially limited, but scientists speculate many potential benefits, particularly when it comes to issues associated with inflammation.

CBD is taking the hair industry by storm, offering an array of advantages, from hydrating hair to encouraging growth. When combined with other phytocannabinoids, the effects of CBD and the accompanying constituents are even more powerful, putting LEAF & FLOWER on the cutting edge of CBD in hair care.
