How to retain beautiful and healthy hair remains one of man's most asked questions. Unfortunately, there have been very few answers. To prevent or reverse hair loss, many people have tried several expensive yet unsuccessful methods. Some have decided to live with thinning hair and baldness. However, a major derivative of cannabis, known as CBD, has proven to be effective and efficient in not only retaining lush hair but in reversing hair loss and keeping the hair fresh, healthy, and beautiful.

In this article, we'll look at how you can maintain your perfect hair using CBD edibles.
What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is one of the essential components and active ingredients of cannabis. It should also be added that most states in the US have several laws regulating marijuana usage, and almost all states classify CBD as legal.
CBD is not one of the components of marijuana that causes a person to become “high” when used. The psychoactive substance in CBD is so low that it does not affect your brain or mental balance. Therefore, its use is not subject to abuse. It is a very effective substance and causes little to no known side effects. Years of research into CBD has shown that it causes no known health problems for the user. CBD is already well known for its ability to fight inflammation and has long been effective in treating insomnia, anxiety, and even epilepsy.
What makes CBD edibles perfect for hair?
CBD in its edible form is a perfect match for hair because of its components. CBD oil, for example, contains such hair boosters as vitamins A and E, amino acids, and fatty acids that protect the scalp and improve hair growth. When you use high quality CBD edibles on the skin, CBD oil boosts hair growth and control anxiety-related hair loss.
You may need to check with your doctor to ensure that you can proceed with CBD because there could be cases of adverse reactions and irritations, especially on the skin if you are allergic to its use. If you've been given the go-ahead, then you can be sure its use would be of positive benefit to you.
CBD edibles are mostly capsules or oils that can be applied to the scalp and skin directly or even included in the diet. Here are seven ways you can use CBD to boost your hair health (and your mind).

Massage your scalp with CBD oil
Massaging your scalp with CBD oil is an effective way of boosting hair growth. This is because the oil provides the scalp with substances that stimulate hair production and strengthen the skin. When you apply the oil directly to the hair, you will likely get results as soon as possible, although it is not sure it would work for everyone. Using the oils directly to the hair helps to rejuvenate the scalp and enhance the production of hair.
Ingesting CBD Capsules
While CBD capsules are also effective for building hair, it is best for those who also have hair-induced anxiety. If you notice you are anxious, CBD capsules can be used to treat anxiety while also helping to boost the growth of the hair. Follow the prescription on the label and ingest it as instructed.
Ingesting CBD oil tinctures
CBD oil tinctures are also used to control anxiety related to hair loss while also boosting hair growth. The oil tinctures work just like the capsules but are more effective and work faster. They work by ingesting about two to three drops. Squeeze the oil under your tongue and keep them there for up to half a minute before swallowing. Just like CBD capsules, they are to be ingested as prescribed. However, you don't need to use them when you are not feeling too anxious.
Consume CBD edible snacks
CBD also comes in edible products like gummies. These edible CBD products contain less concentration of CBD and are not as effective as oils and capsules. However, you may use them if you want to take things slowly. How effective these consumables are for hair growth is unknown, but CBD certainly would affect, no matter how little.
Add CBD oil to your diet.
You can add edible CBD oil into your diet if you do not want to apply it directly to your scalp or skin. One of the most common variants of the edible CBD is the mixture with the delicious coconut oil. This can be safely added to meals and used to cook. Although it is excellent for cooking, it can also be directly used on the skin and scalp. It enhances hair growth and produces results for many users.
Inhaling CBD vapor
The easiest way to ingest CBD into the system is through inhaling it. Vaping of this kind could, however, affect the lungs. As a result, you may need to be sure it has no effects on your lungs before attempting it.
Use CBD-infused syrup
CBD-infused syrups are CBD oils that are sold in the form of syrups. You can take it as prescribed to improve hair growth and relieve hair-induced anxiety.

Conclusion
As noted earlier, before you use any of the high-quality edible CBD products, be sure to confirm that they won't cause any adverse reactions to your body. Although many people have used the products effectively against hair loss, discontinue their use immediately if the products do not work for you or are causing an adverse reaction.
