HEMP FOR HAIR

The complex physiology, structure and mechanism of hair, along with genetic mutation and changing lifestyle, is making hair care a growing challenge for practitioners of various systems of medicine. Hempseed oil is being increasingly seen as a saviour for hair-related issues. Though the long-term effects of hemp oil are yet to be conclusively researched, it has been proven to keep hair healthy and reduce hair fall. “I believe that topical application produces 60% benefits, while consuming hemp seeds gives 40% result, including flawless hair,” says Supritha Ramesh, Director, Sash Products, an organic hair care brand.

INCREASES HAIR DENSITY AND

VOLUME: Hemp oil contains Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids which are beneficial to hair. They increase the diameter of each hair strand, making the hair

thicker and stronger.

REDUCES ALOPECIA: Hemp seed oil is rich in antioxidants which rejuvenate the scalp and promote growth of new hair, thus reducing

alopecia.

PREVENTS SCALP INFLAMMATION: Scalp inflammation is a major cause of hair fall. The Omega 3 fatty acids in hempseed oil reduce inflammation and other scalp issues, specially dandruff, eczema

and dermatitis.

MOISTURISES HAIR: Hempseed oil has Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids in a characteristic 3:1 ratio, which

results in the oil forming a lubricant coating around each hair strand.
