Hemp Oil & Hair

Hemp oil is beneficial to hair.


Healthy hair is a product of a nutritious diet and an overall healthy body. Ensuring health from the inside out includes adding the necessary supplements and oils to daily diet. Hemp seeds and oil are used in beauty products and hair care. When using hemp for hair care, it's best to ingest it internally, as health grows from the inside out. Does this Spark an idea?


Composition


Hemp is an essential fatty acid. Essential fatty acids impact cell membranes and improve metabolism and our cardiovascular system. Essential fatty acids retain good substances while blocking out negative ones. Hemp seed contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids. Hemp oil is considered a "good" fat. The seed can be used for oil. Hemp supplements that are taken internally, like oil or capsules, can ward off aging to hair and even skin.


Benefits


Hemp seed oil is a source of the essential amino acids that benefit healthy hair. Hemp promotes strong, healthy locks and staves off the effects of aging. Shampoo and other hair care products that use hemp will leave your hair soft. Hemp oil can be applied directly to hair as a conditioner, even left on overnight. Hemp oil is also used to moisturize braids, cornrows and weaves.


Ratio


If you're going to ingest hemp oil, consider the following information. It's recommended that 5 to 10 percent of calorie intake come from polyunsaturated fat, Omega-3 and Omega 6. Basically, take 1 tsp. of oil daily for every 35 lbs. of body weight. If you decide to ingest capsules instead of straight oil, follow the dose listen on the bottle. Hemp oil can be purchased at health food stores. It should be refrigerated and kept out of sunlight.


Controversy


While hemp is a distant relative of the marijuana plant, it is drug-free and non-hallucinogenic. The use of hemp seeds in commercial products is completely legal, after they've been sterilized to prevent germination. The resin that is found in illegal drugs is no longer in the hemp seed after it's been cleaned and washed.


Warnings


Health conditions can require different levels of fat intake. It's important to consult a doctor to make sure you won't be ingesting too much fat if you take hemp orally. Be mindful of an allergic reaction to hemp. Hemp is a rich oil and can make hair too oily. It's best to use hemp in small doses, increasing how much you use when you see how your body reacts.
