    Is caffeine shampoo really good for hair? Everything to know

    What's the story

    Experts in the haircare industry are always in search of ingredients that help strengthen the hair, promote growth, and prevent premature graying.

    In recent years, caffeine has undergone a lot of research, and many believe that it is capable of dealing with most hair concerns.

    Let's understand what the buzz is all about and whether you should really give caffeine-infused haircare products a try.

    Benefits

    Benefits that ardent fans can't get enough of

    Alpecin is a German haircare brand that emerged as the pioneer in caffeine-based shampoo.

    Regular users of their product claim that they experienced visibly less hair fall.

    In addition, studies suggest that this shampoo suppresses the hormone responsible for hair loss.

    It has also been noticed that people who regularly use this shampoo have reported lesser instances of premature hair graying.

    Side effects

    Side effects of using caffeine shampoo

    Research on caffeine-based shampoos is still in the nascent stage.

    However, there have been complaints regarding scalp irritation and itching in some users after initial use.

    Using caffeine-based hair shampoo regularly may also cause hair browning. However, this may not be considered a side effect by most people.

    Further, it has been understood that prolonged usage of the product may provide less effective results.

    Usage

    How often should you use this shampoo?

    While drinking too much coffee might put you at a health risk, this doesn't apply when it comes to caffeinated shampoo.

    Experts suggest that normal shampoos should not be used more than thrice a week as too much product can dry the hair.

    However, caffeine shampoo can be applied daily if required. After applying the same, leave it on for two minutes before rinsing.

    DIY

    Try these DIY recipes with coffee for your hair

    While caffeine shampoos have rave reviews, finding products that are chemical-free can be quite a task.

    But you can make your own shampoo and reap its benefits.

    Mix two tablespoons of fresh coffee grounds with four tablespoons of shampoo and half a teaspoon of baking soda.

    Store the coffee shampoo in a container and use it as and when required.
