Is Coffee Healthy For Hair?
Coffee is not only an energy booster but it is also a versatile ingredient with numerous health benefits for body, skin and hair. No wonder so many hair care products contain caffeine: regular application to scalp and strands can reduce hair loss while encouraging regrowth.
Though there’s limited research to support these claims, it may be worthwhile to give drinking coffee a try – there are no harmful side-effects associated with doing so! In order to get similar effects using an industrialized beauty treatment or rinse that contains caffeine would require massive quantities of coffee being consumed – something which might not be possible or desirable!
If you decide to give a coffee rinse or mask a try, organic coffee has been shown to have minimal impact on both follicles and the environment. Be sure that it’s freshly brewed; use only its grounds without drinking all the liquid from the cup! It is also important to remember that coffee may stain your hair; for optimal results use dark roast varieties instead.
Make your own coffee rinse or hair mask easily by pouring some over your scalp and leaving it for at least 30 minutes before rinsing off. Or combine coffee with other ingredients like eggs, honey, avocados and coconut oil for a deep conditioning mask that will leave your strands looking shiny and healthy!
Coffee grounds can also help your hair in other ways by massaging the grounds into your scalp, which may reduce dandruff and promote regrowth by clearing away dead skin cells that clog hair follicles from producing new strands and ultimately lead to thinning or even hair loss.
Coffee’s acidic acids help remove build-up of toxins in your hair and scalp, improving their health and appearance. In addition, caffeine’s stimulating effects can encourage faster hair growth through stimulating blood flow to the scalp as well as fighting DHT hormone which causes shrinkage of follicles that reduce hair growth. If you want a way to stimulate hair regrowth then add coffee into your daily routine!
