Is Caffeine good for you?

Many of us rely on Caffeine day-to-day but is it good or bad for you? Like everything, too much of a good thing can be bad so it is important to have Caffeine in moderation. But what about Caffeine for hair? The same applies to consuming Caffeine orally, too much Caffeine can cause negative effects on the hair growth cycle. However, applying it topically in moderation will help boost hair health and growth!

Caffeine benefits for hair

Caffeine can benefit your hair health in many ways from limiting damage to providing strands with nutrients to assist growth. The main advantage being it helps encourage hair growth in the initial phases of the hair growth cycle. It does this through targeting a hormone called ‘DHT’, which causes hair loss, by producing a combating hormone which helps hair grow. It also promotes healthy hair follicles by aiding blood circulation to the scalp when massaging hair products into the scalp.
