When doing a hemp oil scalp massage, add some essential oils. Essential oils increase circulation and are commonly used to treat the scalp of alopecia patients. They also help in providing moisture for a dry scalp.

Begin by adding 2 or 3 drops of an essential oil such as rosemary, Nettle oil into 2 tablespoons of Hemp oil before massaging the scalp. The oil is your choice.

Hemp Oil Hot Oil Treatment for Natural Hair Growth

You can do a Hemp oil hot oil treatment using the same recipe as my olive oil treatment. To see the treatment, visit the article olive oil for natural hair growth.

1. In a bowl, pour 2 to 4 tablespoons of Hemp oil, depending on the amount of hair you have and its length, and heat it slightly in the microwave. It will be enough with about 15 or 20 seconds.

2. Moisten your hair with warm water and from scalp to tips, apply the hemp oil all over the hair.

3. Cover your hair with a towel and let the oil work for about 30 minutes. With the heat generated when carrying the towel, the nutrients of the hemp oil will penetrate deeper in the hair fibers for healthier hair from the inside.

4. After 30 minutes, rinse the hair with plenty of warm water and perform a normal wash.

5. Hemp seed oil penetrates the skin better than other vegetable oils used in lotions or creams. The oil helps to heal irritated tissue and restores the moisture content of the skin.

6. Brush the scalp after applying the hemp seed oil. Brushing stimulates hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp.

7. Use the heat to slide the oil from the scalp to the ends of the hair. After applying the hemp oil, you can use a hair dryer on ver low heat to lightly heat the oil and slide it to the tips to protect them from damage to the hairstyle and the drying effects of the shampoo.

8. You can carry out this treatment to grow hair with hemp oil once a week. Now, if your hair is very oily, it is best that you do it every 15 days or that you only apply the oil from medium to ends, avoiding doing it on the scalp.
