Hair Regrowth With Novel Hemp Extract: A Case Series

    January 2023 in “ International Journal of Trichology ”
    GregoryLuke Smith
    TLDR The hemp extract significantly increased hair regrowth in both men and women without any side effects.
    This case series study investigated the effects of a novel hemp extract containing CBD, THCV, and CBDV on hair regrowth in 31 subjects with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Over 6 months, subjects applied a topical hemp extract daily, resulting in a significant average hair count increase of 246% in men and 127% in women. All subjects experienced some degree of hair regrowth, with no adverse effects reported. Psychosocial perceptions were positive, with all subjects feeling "happy" or "very happy" about the results. Independent photographic reviews confirmed "mild" to "extensive" improvements in scalp coverage. The study suggests that the hemp extract works through mechanisms different from traditional treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, potentially offering synergistic benefits when used together.
