It’s a fact: the cosmetics industry has a new darling, and it comes from a long-controversial plant. Yes, you guessed it: hemp oil. More precisely, it’s oil, which is increasingly found in our hair care products. But why the sudden craze? Does this miracle oil live up to its promises? And most importantly, how can you use it to get real results?
An ancestral product brought up to date
I remember a discussion this summer in a hair salon. A client was praising the merits of freshly purchased hemp oil. And there, surprise! Her hair radiated health and softness. Intrigued, I wanted to test it for myself. And after a few weeks, I must admit: my hair has never felt better.
Hemp oil and damaged hair: a winning duo
If you feel like your hair is as dry as hay after the summer, maybe you haven’t tried a hemp oil conditioner from the brand Comme Avant yet. Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, it deeply nourishes the hair fiber. This lipid cocktail acts as a restorative treatment, making hair more supple and less brittle while restoring shine.
A little tip for a homemade treatment: apply hemp oil as a mask, mix it with a little warm honey and aloe vera. Leave on for half an hour before rinsing. Guaranteed boost! As the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure,” so you might as well pamper your hair before it starts crying out for food.
Oily Hair? Hemp Oil Can Save You Too
Oddly enough, when we talk about oils, many people immediately think of ” oily hair “. However, it’s quite the opposite with hemp oil. By regulating sebum production, it helps restore a balanced scalp. This is what we call a return to basics: re-teaching our sebaceous glands to function properly. Because we must never forget: “Too much of something has never done anyone any good,” and this is also true for sebum!
Apply it directly to the scalp once a week, and you will see, your hair will quickly regain its freshness without having to wash it every day.
Dandruff and itching: hemp oil as a reinforcement
Dandruff? A real scourge for many. But here again, hemp oil proves to be a valuable ally. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, it soothes irritation and reduces scales. A calm scalp is the assurance of healthy, dandruff-free hair. No more endless ballet between anti-dandruff shampoos and irritating treatments, make way for a gentle and natural solution.
An effective remedy? Add a few drops of hemp oil to your usual shampoo and gently massage your scalp. A simple but terribly effective gesture, a bit like this saying that I always have in mind: “Great things start with small gestures.”.
Fine hair, split ends, and company
It’s no secret that fine hair has a hard life. It gets tangled easily, breaks at the slightest gust of wind, and often ends up dull. To remedy this, hemp oil is ideal. In addition to adding shine, it strengthens the hair fiber and prevents split ends. You can even use it as a daily treatment: apply a few drops to the ends before going to bed. As the old adage says: “it’s better to be foresighted than unforesighted,” especially when it comes to preserving your lengths.
How to use it daily?
Applying hemp oil may seem intimidating, especially if you’ve never tried it. However, it’s really easy! You can use it in several ways:
- In an oil bath before shampooing: leave for 30 minutes, then rinse.
- As a serum after shampooing: a small amount on damp hair is enough.
- In an anti-frizz spray: dilute a few drops in water and spray on your hair for an instant smoothing effect.
And for those who don’t want to complicate their lives, there are a multitude of ready-made hemp oil shampoos and treatments on the market. A glance at the composition is enough: choose organic and sulfate-free products for maximum benefits.
Hemp oil: a barrier against external aggressions
If your hair is often exposed to the sun, pollution, or heat from styling tools, hemp oil is a protective barrier. It prevents free radicals from attacking your hair. Because, as they say, “it’s better to be well equipped to face the storm.”.
And that’s not all! In addition to moisturizing, hemp oil retains water inside the hair fiber.
Result: Your hair stays hydrated longer, which is a blessing for high-porosity hair.
In short, hemp oil is not just a fad. It is a return to the basics, to simpler and more natural care, but just as effective. So, whether you have dry, oily, fine, or dandruff-prone hair, it is a safe bet that hemp oil will find its place in your hair routine. After all, who does not dream of healthy hair that is full of life?
