Caffeine And Hair. The Benefit You Didn’t Know Until Today

According to a recent study, caffeine is good for your hair. But before you start doubling or tripling your coffee intake, bear with us a minute as we get into the detail of the research. According to the study published in the International Journal of Dermatology, caffeine affects the growth cycle of hair follicles. The results of the study revealed an interesting fact. Caffeine acts as a DHT blocker, stimulating hair elongation and prolongs the growth cycle. The result, healthier, longer hair.

Caffeine Works Better In Women Than Men

Further revelations from the study also show that female hair follicles are more responsive to caffeine compared to men. Wouldn’t it be simpler if all you needed to do to regrow your thinning hair was drink more coffee? Unfortunately, you’d need about 50 cups of strong coffee daily for oral caffeine to begin to have an impact. Luckily, it’s not all bad news. Topical application of caffeine-rich hair products such as shampoo or leave-on hair products is proving effective. Work the products onto the scalp and leave on first least two minutes to reap the benefits.

What Is The Clinical Evidence For Caffeine Hair Regrowth?

Although there is a proliferation of caffeine-containing products on the market, from caffeine shampoo to leave-on scalp powders, there is still a lot more work to be done. Lab studies have shown a positive response to caffeine by hair follicles which leads to the belief that caffeine does help with hair loss.

Also, there are various products on sale today but their efficacy is not proven. Does science support that caffeine helps with hair loss? That’s a resounding yes. Will turning to caffeine shampoos markedly turn the tide of hair loss? Perhaps not. This is why you should turn to tried and proven medical treatments for hair loss.

What Treatments Work For Hair Loss In Men And Women?

Minoxidil or Rogaine is an over-the-counter hair loss treatment for men and women. It comes in liquid, shampoo and foam and must be applied daily for it to be effective. The medication is effective at both slowing down the rate of hair loss as well as helping restart hair growth. Minor possible side effects include itchy scalp and unwanted hair growth in other areas such as face and hands.

Getting Effective Solutions For Thinning Hair

Because there are different causes of hair loss, there are different treatment options. There is no one-size-fits-all approach for treating hair loss. Everyone is unique and so a product or solution that works for one person may not work as well for another.

Vinci Hair Clinic specialises in a wide range of hair loss treatments, including surgical, medical and non-surgical options. Scalp micropigmentation is a treatment that’s gaining in popularity because it’s non-invasive.
