Beards have become more popular in recent years with facial hair back in style. With this emergence of bearded gentlemen in the spotlight, good grooming and beard care are essential. Beard oils have exploded in popularity along with CBD oil – as legislation of cannabis related products have made products more accessible.
Full Spectrum CBD can provide a number of benefits for men looking to grow and maintain a full beard.
CBD promotes hair growth. Human hair is made up, mostly, of a protein called keratin. Full spectrum CBD oil contains Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega 9 fatty acids. These gamma linolenic acids (GLA) add to the protein content of the hair strand, strengthening it structurally from the inside. Studies have shown that CBD-rich hemp extracts suspended in carrier oils can make the hair stronger and thicker over time.
Hair loss in the beard happens mostly due to breakage. When hair strands are dry and brittle, they are prone to snap – preventing beard bulk and length. Better blood circulation around hair follicles has been shown to encourage hair growth. Since CBD increases blood flow, it is able to bring extra nutrients to hair follicles allowing them to be able to remove harmful toxins. Another recent study showed that people who topically applied CBD oil to their hair for 6 months saw successful regrowth.
As hair loss usually begins in a man’s early 30’s, it is wise to begin CBD as a regimen as soon as possible. A full beard is achievable even with hair loss on the head. CBD can be found in shampoos and may produce faster-growing and thicker beards.
CBD Oil may also work to prevent hair loss by reducing stress. Excessive production of the hormone cortisol has been associated with hair loss. Due to CBD’s ability to reduce stress and anxiety, it may also reduce hair loss by controlling levels of cortisol by promoting relaxation and healthy sleep.
Those who suffer from alopecia barbae, a hair loss condition that attacks beards, may find relief with full-spectrum CBD-based products.
In addition to hair growth and loss prevention, full spectrum CBD oil works to moisturize the hair strands of a beard. Moisture is key to preventing breakage and promoting new growth. CBD contains a large amount of vitamin E which is good for skin and beards.
The oil helps to soften wiry beard hairs and replace some of the oils lost around the beard when using facial cleansers or soap. The oil can also tame stray hairs and allow for easier styling.
Moisturizing the skin below a beard is just as important. A good full spectrum CBD oil can seep into the pores below the beard without clogging them. This can result in hair growth.For those with problematic skin, full spectrum CBD oil can also help with redness, dry skin, itchiness and inflammation. Though after shave is used to help restore moisture and relieve irritation, it’s not always fully effective. CBD oil has antioxidant and skin calming properties that help sooth and minimize problem areas while also potentially relieving pain and inflammation.
Another benefit is the prevention and treatment of acne. Though a beard can cover acne on the lower half of the face, it can be painful. CBD oil can reduce the production of sebum that clogs the pores and is also responsible for painful cystic acne. CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties can, therefore, be used to treat inflammatory acne that’s already there beneath the beard.
Its anti-inflammatory property can also help minimize ingrown hairs that are a frustrating part of having facial hair. CBD targets ingrown hairs and relieves pain and swelling. Though ingrown hairs can also be affected by a person’s hormone levels, CBD works with the body’s endocannabinoid system, potentially balancing hormonal responses.
By using full spectrum CBD to maintain and grow facial hair, there may also be some residual benefits as the oil will absorb into the top layers of the skin. CBD will enter the bloodstream and, as a result, users may benefit from its known treatment of: anxiety and/or depression, sleep issues, problems with appetite and/or weight, pain management, general inflammation and more.
A daily dose of full spectrum CBD oil rubbed into the beard and skin may result in long-lasting results. The oil will not work so well on unclean hair. Beards should be thoroughly washed before applying the oil. Usually three to four drops of full spectrum CBD oil goes a long way, depending on the size of the beard.
