Now that you know the top 5 brands, you may still be wondering: How does caffeine shampoo work to prevent and reverse hair loss? In this guide, I explain how it works and how to choose the best caffeine shampoo for your hair type. How does caffeine shampoo work? And finally, there is an Alpecin Caffeine After Shampoo Liquid Hair Energizer, 200ml which you can apply in the morning, after washing, to your towel-dried scalp to massage in. Leave in place to dry, briefly, then style as usual.Alpecin studies found that a mixture of caffeine, niacin, and zinc combined with Alpecin’s “galenic” carrier formula protects hair against the damaging effects of DHT in the scalp. In a study testing the effectiveness of oral saw palmetto extracts for male pattern baldness, 60% of males who took the supplement were rated as improved after 4 to 5 months treatment. Although oral saw palmetto extracts are not recommended for women, several shampoos now combine caffeine plus saw palmetto extracts and, for topical use, can be used by both men and women with thinning hair. Caffeine topical applications inhibit an enzyme, 5-α-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) within scalp hair follicles; DHT switches off scalp follicles and is associated with both male and female pattern hair loss.

No side effects have been reported. The topical caffeine is absorbed into the hari follicles but so little reaches teh blood stream that it will not have systemic effects such as raising blood pressure or causing the jitters. The only people who should avoid it are those who develop a sensitivity reaction, which is extremely rare.

Caffeine works to energize hair roots which allows them to live out their full life cycle. Once the hair roots are treated with caffeine, the power of their defense system against DHT amplifies. For this reason, it’s critical to use caffeine shampoo continuously for best results. Caffeine allows those thin “baby hairs” to fully mature. Unlike Sebamed, Alpecin does contain ingredients that may irritate your scalp. If you have a sensitive scalp like me, Sebamed is a better choice.
