Our hair reflects who we are. Coiffed, blue, blown out, parted, mullet, big, or simply hanging loss, it help define our look. But for many, it is a daily challenge, especially for those with thinning hair. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that 30 million women in the United States suffer from hereditary hair loss, compared with 50 million men. In 2022 people spent $3.9 billion to combat thinning hair. So, can CBD help with hair loss or more?
What causes thinning hair and hair loss?
As people age, they experience a natural change with their hair that leads to hair loss. While some lose hair at a slower pace, others lose hair much faster (this happens for different reasons).
Hair loss can be hereditary, if older members of a family also lose hair, there is a greater chance it will be passed on to younger generals. Hormonal deficiencies are also major causes of hair loss in men and women. It can be caused by changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and aging. Stress, medications and cancer treatments are also causes. If you haven’t experienced hair loss, you should actively think about how to prevent it from happening.
While there are numerous solutions for hair loss, CBD is becoming more common with Amazon, Walmart and more selling to their vast number of customers.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural compound in the hemp plant. It is a safe, non-addictive substance with numerous potential health benefits. CBD is officially approved for medical use as an anti-seizure medication, and is also used to treat health conditions ranging from chronic pain, inflammation and anxiety to neurological disorders and autoimmune diseases. Many people find CBD to be effective at supporting overall wellness, improving mental health, and enhancing recovery after exercise.
Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD doesn’t cause a person to feel “high” or “stoned”. CBD is widely available in a variety of forms, such as oils, capsules and topical products. It is legal throughout the United States and in many countries because it is derived from the hemp plant, which contains only trace amounts of THC.
A properly researched shampoo could help. Cannabidiol (CBD), a phytocannabinoid, may cause hair growth, several other phytocannabinoids may lead to hair loss. Additionally, the effect of CBD on hair growth may be concentration-dependent. CBD may cause hair loss at high concentrations. Therefore, the concentration of CBD needs to be adjusted so that it is optimal for hair growth.
CBD contains different amino and fatty acids which are crucial nutrients for hair protection. With the shampoo made from CBD you will also get other minerals in large quantities that keep your hair healthy, lush and strong. Remember shampoo products are not meant to be used on a one-off basis as it is important your hair feeds on CBD regularly. You want the hair to get used to the CBD nutrients and want to use just enough to ensure there are no subsequent breakages which will lead to hair loss again.
CBD shampoo also contains anti-inflammatory properties that protects the base of your hair from hair loss.
Another reason it could help CDB’s anti-anxiety properties. You will learn to relax your mind and body thus reducing stress that can cause hair loss. This may be taking in a pill, oils, or others.
Aside from thinning hair, another way of is promoting sebum (natural oil) production, CBD has the potential to improve your hair and scalp health. And that means thicker, healthier and glossier hair!
Eat extra protein. You may not be getting enough each day which can affect hair growth.
Consider the Mediterranean diet
Discuss with your physician prescription or over-the-counter medication
So CBD may be able to help with your hair and with thinning hair with some research. Managing your hair is tough, talk to professionally and do your research. Also, be careful about damaging your hair. Remember, sometimes good hair makes you feel like you can rule the world.
Summer is bringing MLB and cruises to popular Seattle. Here is a quick guide of what to do, where to eat, how to consume and a word of caution!
Seattle has long been a tourist destination. Home to the historic Pike Place Market, the soaring Space Needle and mystical Chihuly Garden and Glass, a vibrant music scene, tourists from around the globe trek to the 30th anniversary of Sleepless in Seattle. In June, Seattle set another record for being the most sold out city in the US. The cruise industry is having a banner year and Major League Baseball All Stars kicks off 11 July at T-Mobile Park.
While the city is flooded with visitor, if doesn’t feel crowded and has something for everyone to explore. Marijuana is fully legal so that isn’t a concern. But, be warned, Seattle is the only city in Washington that has chosen, for now, not to prosecute drug offenders. Here are some direct and general tips for visiting the city.
The Amazon Spheres in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle
Seattle has fully legal recreational marijuana. The greater downtown area has a variety of retail shops including Have A Heart (Belltown) and Uncle Ikes (Capital Hill). While people smoke on the streets, don’t plan to whip out a pre-roll in restaurants, retail stores, bars or nightclubs. Look for something more discreet. The stadiums have security checks and cannabis and alcohol are not allowed. Cruise ships are also not open to marijuana being part of your luggage. For the cruises the telltale sign is the aroma.
The light rail can take you from the Stadium district to the retail core, where the largest hotels are located. It can also take you the International district (excellent food), Captial Hill (trendy music and bar district), and historic Pioneer Square.
The city has a great food scene with a variety of experiences and cuisines. Consider treating your palate at The Pink Door,Japonessa, Communion,Aqua and more. Low key place include Bar Cotto, Fogon, Assagios and gems in Pike Place Market. In the international district, Jade Garden is known for excellent dim sum, Tai Tung is the oldest restaurant and Harbor City is open until 11 pm. For drinks, high end would include the Fairmont, the Four Seasons, and at the other end you have The 5 Point along with a whole range of bars in Belltown and Capital Hill. Near the stadium you can pick from a wide choice of watering holes.
As of 1 July, the city does not have a system to deal with open air drug users, so some of the downtown streets have some extra local scenery. Fentanyl is freely used on the streets and 3rd Ave should be avoided except as a crossover street. Don’t be surprised if you randomly see people screaming, waking naked, or stealing. Police are hamstrung in their approach, so try to stay in groups. A majority of Seattle City Council believes there is not need to prosecute and the office of the Mayor is taking a slow approach to potentially changing the approach.
