Caffeine stimulates body, mind, and even our hair roots. The psychotropic substance caffeine also strengthens hair. Caffeine-containing shampoo activates hair growth factors and stimulates the hair roots. Learn how to use caffeine-containing hair care products to improve hair growth and structure.
The caffeine in coffee is the tried and tested substance to jump-start the day. The caffeine in coffee keeps us awake, alert, and active whenever a little more energy is needed. It also boosts hair growth by stimulating the hair roots. Hair care products with caffeine also strengthen hair and make it more manageable.
Many men face early hair loss due to the effects of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which acts on susceptible hair follicles. As a result, these follicles get smaller and smaller and finally disappear (common baldness). This process is called ‘miniaturisation of the hair follicles’, which also influences the growth phases of hair. Caffeine penetrates into the hair roots and stimulates them. It also stimulates the hair roots in the scalps of women and triggers stronger hair growth.
Be sure to allow the caffeine-containing shampoo to stay on the scalp for at least two minutes. It takes a while for the caffeine to penetrate to the hair roots and show an effect.
We recommend the regular use of caffeine-containing hair care products because caffeine is degraded in the scalp within about 24 hours.
