According to a new study, caffeine does not just wake you up in the morning and get you through that 4 o’clock slump, but it also makes your hair grow faster.
The research, carried out by the International Journal of Dermatology, has found that caffeine actually stimulates the hair shaft helping it to grow faster. It also blocks the effects of DHT, a chemical that is known to damage follicles.
However, the study also revealed that you would need to drink anywhere in the region of 50 to 60 cups of coffee a day in order to get enough - so applying it through hair products is the best way to go.
Women’s hair was found to be more responsive than men’s according to the findings.
“Hair follicles that were treated with caffeine showed a highly significant growth rate at 24 hours, and still showed further significant growth at eight days,” said the study.
If you fancy getting on the caffeine buzz, but not through 50 cups of coffee a day then don’t worry – Garnier and Ultrax Labs along with other leading brands all do caffeine-based products.
