Caffeine: Powerbank for hair

Dr. Harsh Shah, Dr. Taufik Momin

Abstract :

 There  has  been  remarkable  research  in  the  field  of  hair  regeneration  in  the  last  decade  to  combat  the  mounting  burden  of  hair  loss  disorders  in  humans.  It  has  paved  the  way  for  better  understanding  of  the  pathogenesis  and  genetic  basis  of  hair  loss.  Modern  technologies  in  the  fields  of  genetics,  stem  cells  and  hair  transplantation  have  augmented  the  development  of  novel  treatment  modalities  for  alopecia.  

Caffeine  is  novel  concept  in  hair  care  therapy  because  it  reduces  and  slows  down  the  process  of  baldness  and  also  stimulates  hair  growth.  Caffeine  inhibits  the  activity  of  the  5–α –reductase  enzyme  and  allows  a  renewed  growth  phase  of  the  hair.  Caffeine  prevents  dihydrotestosterone  (DHT)  production  from  testosterone  hence  compromised  c–AMP  generation  and  energy  output  reversed.  

Caffeine  also  arouses  capillary  vessel  microcirculation  in  the  skin  of the  head,  thereby  contributing  to  nurture  hair  bulbs  and  prevents  premature  hair  loss.
