Cannabis and its derivatives have officially made their grand appearance in the beauty industry, as well as in health-conscious communities. Miss Nevada Earth Taylor Nicole Burk is the first in American history to advocate for cannabis on an international pageant platform, Miss Earth USA. When you read her article, you’ll learn about the cannabis beauty space in America and the differences between CBD and hemp hair products. Also, there will be a list of the best-selling hair-care brands created on the wave of legalization.
Where there is hemp seed oil, there is hope because hemp-derived cosmetics unearth the best for botanical beauties to achieve healthy self-care routines and extra good-hair-day vibes. America’s best-kept beauty secret — organic cold-pressed hemp seed oil — is the most potent plant protein on the planet, as well as the most naturally hydrating seed, which works wonders for the hair and scalp. Those that take advantage of hemp-seed-oil hair care can expect healthy, soft, shiny, strong, flexible and manageable hair. However, to achieve maximum benefits, hemp-seed-oil hair care should be botanical; free from sodium chloride, paraben and gluten; vegan, and offer instant results. When cold-pressed hemp-seed oil is infused into hair care, its antimicrobial properties become a great preventative tool to keep a healthy balance and look great while doing so!
It seems like magic, but here’s the science behind it. The perfect balance of essential Omega fatty acids and ceramides help to retain the vital proteins and moisture in your hair to keep it strong and intact. Hemp oil also helps to improve blood circulation in the scalp to stimulate new hair growth.
It is obvious that nature’s plant-powered products are here to stay as they continue to pique interest in beauty and wellness industries and make sales be at an all-time high. When shopping for hemp-seed-oil hair care, be sure to not mistakenly purchase shampoo and conditioner with cannabidiol (CBD). CBD does not belong in hair care because it is best used on the skin and internally. Although CBD is a popular treatment to combat pain, inflammation, anxiety and help with cognitive conditions, when it comes to hair health, hemp-seed oil is the hero beyond the hype.
The debate between CBD and hemp-seed oil is certainly a misconception in the cannabis beauty space which is why we find articles on both sides. My insight comes from working directly with chemists and distributors for both ingredients and hair-care collections. All major health and antimicrobial benefits found in CBD (except for the ability to relieve pain, etc.) are already naturally within the properties of hemp-seed oil. The main difference between hemp-seed oil and CBD is their retail costs. CBD is much more expensive than hemp-seed oil because CBD’s source is a leaf instead of a seed. However, since the current marketing trend is CBD, many distributors seek out hair-care products with CBD. However, the distributors wind up paying more for the CBD ingredients because they are most likely mixed with a filler oil to cut costs in order for the hair products to be sold at a margin comparable to hemp-seed oil.
Despite the politics surrounding the non-psychoactive hemp plant, cold-pressed hemp-seed-oil-infused cosmetics, skin, and hair-care products are the pioneers in the beauty and wellness industries as the oil’s multi-usage health benefits are undeniable. We found 5 rising brands that produce quality hemp hair-care products!
A notable luxury plant-based beauty company, Hemp Cosmetics USA is challenging the idea of instant results as they infuse all formulas with their exclusive, modern Micro-Capsule Technology. The Micro-Capsule Technology penetrates the hair core and heals each follicle from the inside out, as well as topically. As hemp-seed oil is prominent for hair growth, these products essentially focus on scalp health and increasing the natural blood circulation upon the scalp to speed up the results process.

Also, it provides a full, lifted look without stiffness or flakes, and helps improve hair’s manageability.
Of course, the rising popularity of hemp hair products affected the market of supplements. And, hemp gummies deserve your attention because they can reduce hair loss and stimulate hair growth, due to the Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, but wellness influencers are still amazed by hemp gummies. We’re only pointing your attention to this trend; the rest is up to you!
