 Coffee For Hair Growth

The length and quality of your hair depends upon the health of your hair follicles and hair growth cycle. Caffeine not only stimulates your body and mind, but also your hair roots. It is often used as an ingredient in shampoos and other hair care products to improve hair growth and structure. It has the following hair benefits.

1. Simulates fo Hair Growth

Caffeine is considered a stimulant for hair follicles. Research by the International Journal of Dermatology indicated that topical treatment with caffeine resulted in the increase in average growth of hair follicles by around 46%. It also extended its life cycle by 33%. This is because caffeine can block the effect of DHT which damages the hair follicles and is responsible for causing male pattern baldness.

2. Use for  Hair Loss

Men often experience hair loss due to the effects of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which affects susceptible hair follicles. Consequently, these follicles become smaller and finally disappear, causing baldness. This process known as “miniaturization” of the hair follicles, adversely affects the growth phases of hair.

Caffeine, when applied topically, penetrates into the hair roots and stimulates them. Besides preventing male baldness and hair loss, it stimulates the hair roots in the scalps of women and triggers stronger hair growth.

For caffeine to be effective, allow the caffeine containing shampoo to stay on your scalp for two minutes so that it can penetrate the hair roots.
