How Caffeine Actually Helps Your Hair To Grow?
Did you know
that a dash of caffeine in your hair regimen can play an important role in
making your hair grow into lustrous locks?
Yes, it’s
true... while many of us relate with Caffeine as an alkaloid, invariably found
in coffee beans and savoured world over, but surprisingly very few people know
that it can really protect the hair and help them to grow.
What affects the growth of hair?
Men and women often experience hair fall
due to the effects of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male sex hormone, which is
found to be responsible for this condition resulting in follicle
miniaturization and hair loss.
DHT occurs naturally in both men and women. Due to the
involvement of an androgen, the condition is medically termed as Androgenetic
alopecia. Since scalp has the maximum DHT receptors therefore scalp hair bear
the maximum brunt of DHT attack. Due to the attack of DHT, the follicles get
deprived of nutrition by the blocking of vitamins, proteins and mineral
utilisation, thus resulting in their becoming smaller and then finally
disappear, causing baldness. This process, known as miniaturization of the hair
follicles, also adversely affects the growth phases of hair. Though androgenetic
alopecia is a benign and symptom free medical condition but it does have a
negative effect on one’s self-esteem.
How
Caffeine protects the follicle?
Wondering how? Yes, Caffeine helps prevent
hair loss and aides hair growth by blocking the harmful effect of
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). When caffeine is applied topically it leads to greater hair shaft growth
and a longer hair growing phase, called Anagen phase. Caffeine is also known to
increase the blood circulation and its application on scalp leads to better
blood supply to hair follicles, which enhances the availability of nutrition
and oxygen to follicles resulting in their growth.
Does
topical application of Caffeine help?
Now as we know that how caffeine helps in
protecting against hair fall and its role in their regrowth, the next question
is about its administration. While coffee lovers will endorse the idea of
gulping down few more cups to aid their hair growth but the scientific researches
point towards topical administration as the best option as it penetrates easily through
the hair follicles. Follicular shunts in hair follicles absorb 90% of caffeine within 2
minutes of application and make it available at hair root level to bind with
DHT and block its harmful effects.
Caffeine
shampoo par excellence!
Trigaine Caffeine shampoo is scientifically
formulated for fastest caffeine delivery resulting in 10 times higher
absorption of caffeine in just 2 minutes through follicular routes, resulting
in effective suppression of DHT. Trigaine Caffeine shampoo is fortified with high
potency Coffee extract, which is far more effective in checking the hair fall
and restoring hair growth with its triple pronged action:
1. It enhances
hair shaft elongation which makes the hair root bigger.
2. It prolongs
the anagen phase length which extends the hair growth period.
3. It stimulates hair matrix keratinocytes production thereby produces more keratin, a key component of human hair.
