Try Hemp Oil In Your Hair! — Could CBD Give Your Hair Health A Boost?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:10:06 GMT

Haircare isn’t the number one reason people get into CBD oil, but many customers suggest this cannabinoid adds an extra “glow” to their hair. As this hemp hair-say has spread throughout social media, we’ve received a lot of questions on whether CBD is a good option for hair growth.Unfortunately, as we age, hair loss becomes a reality for most of us. Today, we can’t say if CBD is a revolutionary supplement for hair growth. However, some evidence suggests a daily dose of CBD oil couldn’t hurt.What Does Science Say About CBD For Hair Growth?There’s not a ton of scientific research examining CBD oil’s effectiveness on hair-related conditions. In fact, only one small study out of Florida’s Medical Life Care Planners examined CBD’s effects on hair loss. In this trial, 35 adults with significant hair loss washed their hair with a CBD shampoo every day.Interestingly, researchers noted most study participants had statistically significant hair growth after six months. The average rate of hai...

CIF state football: Los Gatos ready to put championship icing on a sweet title run

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:10:06 GMT

Few football programs in Northern California have a trophy case as crowded as Los Gatos, which boasts 16 section titles and a slew of league championships.After winning its first regional title last week, It now has a chance to add the 2-A state crown to the collection on Saturday night against Central Valley Christian-Visalia at Pasadena City College. In recent seasons, it seemed as if state hardware, much less a 16th section title, would continue to elude the Wildcats. In each of the past two years, Los Gatos had seen stellar regular seasons turn into heartbreaking first-round playoff defeats. The Wildcats lost on a last-minute Bellarmine pick-six in 2021 and on a game-winning two-point conversion in overtime against Archbishop Mitty last season. Los Gatos was relegated to watching other teams go on deep runs.“You always think about that as a coach, you know, how far could we go and what would it be about,” Los Gatos coach Mark Krail said. Krail doesn’t call those seasons di...

State-bound: Why Acalanes didn’t let late-season loss derail championship run

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:10:06 GMT

With the playoffs getting ready to start, Acalanes coach Floyd Burnsed had to remind his players that everything they worked for was still possible. The Lafayette school, one win from clinching its first outright league title in four decades, blew a two-touchdown fourth-quarter lead to rival Campolindo, losing the regular-season finale 25-24.“That was a tough loss for us,” Burnsed said Sunday. “When you’re up 24-10 in the fourth quarter, you should win the ballgame. So that was a poor job of coaching.”Since then, Burnsed and his staff have been on their game. “We still ended up with the (shared) league championship, we still ended up with the automatic berth to the playoffs,” Burnsed said. “So everything was still in front of us to achieve.”Once the playoffs started, Acalanes obliterated competition on the way to its first North Coast Section title, routing Mt. Diablo, Vallejo and defending 4-A state champion San Marin by an average of 32 points per game. Acalanes will play Birmingh...

SANTA CLARA — Safeties are the most crucial defensive chess pieces on the board that is an NFL field.So it’s good that 49ers rookie safety Ji’Ayir Brown likes playing chess.“I’ve messed around with video games a bit, but I’ll play chess all day,” he told me Wednesday.The 49ers are going to need Brown’s strategic mind to be working overtime in the final four weeks of the regular season and all the weeks that are to follow.Because after 49ers’ All-Pro strong safety Talanoa Hufanga blew out his knee in Week 11, Brown was tossed into the fire. Now he’s the marked man in the Niners’ defense.But much like Brock Purdy last season, he’s been able to take it in stride, because of preternatural maturity and serious extra-curricular preparation.And also like Purdy during his rookie season, Brown’s success or failure will prove critical to the 49ers’ chances of achieving their Super Bowl dreams.“Every week is go...
