It's one of the reasons you get out of bed, but for many of you who do not know, caffeine has a different role now: it also participates in the hair care industry.
And unlike some other known ingredients, this new filling of shampoos, conditioners and caffeine treatments, has a pretty powerful science behind it.
Caffeine stimulates blood circulation to the scalp, explains Bridgette Hill, a trichologist and colorist at Paul Labrecque Salon and Skincare Spa. And this is essential because blood is the one that nourishes the head with oxygen and nutrients, which are also needed to have healthy hair.
This is very true for you who suffer from dry or sparse hair, which may be part of genetics. Products containing caffeine can be an important addition to your routine.
Regarding hair loss : Caffeine naturally reacts with DHT, the hormone responsible for it, says dermatologist Dhaval Bhanusali.
So basically, think of caffeine hair care as a form of prevention and as a proactive way to have longer, thicker and healthier hair.
