Isn’t it wonderful when you discover that your daily habits are actually good for you? A perfect example of this? Coffee! Well, caffeine to be precise. That morning cup of coffee is something many of us depend upon to function normally and some days definitely require a double-shot of espresso to help us face the day. Well, caffeine can actually have the same effect on our hair. We spill the beans on caffeine and hair growth, answering the question: is caffeine good for your hair?
How does caffeine work for hair growth?
Caffeine can benefit hair health in several ways from limiting damage to strands to supporting hair with all the necessary nutrients and vitamins it needs to grow long and strong. So to answer this question: yes, caffeine is good for your hair (yay!).
The main benefit of caffeine is that it can help promote hair growth straight from the root in the initial phases of hair growth. It does this through targeting a hormone called ‘DHT’, which causes hair loss. DHT can prevent vitamins, proteins and minerals from helping hair follicles to grow. Caffeine combats this by causing hair cells to produce more ‘ATP’, which is a form of energy that encourages hair to grow, helping you achieve the mane of your dreams.
Still not convinced? Further research by Dr. Tobias Fischer has even shown that caffeine speeds up the hair growth cycle and increases the length of hair from 33-40%*. So specifically targeting the hair follicle with caffeine hair products will set you off on your hair growth journey in no time!
Caffeine is known to help increase blood circulation to the scalp which promotes healthy hair follicles. When you’re massaging hair products directly to the scalp you’re aiding blood circulation to the scalp and stimulating the roots. Stimulated hair follicles will grow faster, healthier and stronger thanks to getting all the right nutrients and minerals from your body through the improved blood supply into the scalp.
How to see visible results from caffeine's benefits?
I know we want coffee, but we don’t NEED copious amounts of it. Unfortunately, constantly consuming coffee will not give you luscious long, healthy hair in record timing (unfair, I know). You can still drink your morning coffee, but for best hair results we recommend applying caffeine hair products topically. The Grow Gorgeous Intense range contains just the right amount of caffeine to bring all its benefits to your hair.
