These benefits are backed by varying degrees of scientific research—for example, the anti-wrinkle claim is purely anecdotal but multiple double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials have confirmed hemp oil’s anti-seizure properties—but the truth is that at the end of the day, a ton of people are using hemp oil in a lot of different ways. And now, to add to the list of uses and benefits of hemp oil, people are using it on their hair and scalp. As hemp oil becomes more and more popular and mainstream, it’s no surprise that salons are starting to add hemp oil hair treatment to their list of services. The benefits of doing this mainly surround cannabidiol (CBD), which is one of the main compounds found in hemp oil. CBD has known anti-inflammatory properties, which are thought to be good for the scalp and nourishing to the hair. While there isn’t any research on the benefits of hemp oil on the scalp directly, there are studies that support using CBD for inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.
