Black coffee literally saved my hair. I would have gone bald three weeks ago if I did not know the benefits of coffee on the hair. My hair was shedding non-stop. Although I had introduced a few new products to my hair routine, I knew that my hair was not shedding excessively because of them. It turned out that my hair was shedding because of medical reasons. My thyroid was out of control and my iron was unusually low. Using coffee on my hair to stop the shedding and promote hair growth, has been my remedy until the other medications start working to bring everything back to normal.
How To Use Black Coffee To Stop Hair Shedding
DHT or Dihydro-testosterone, which is the result of excess testosterone broken down by the body, damages the hair follicles, which in turn leads to baldness. The hair follicles shrink when there is too much DHT present in the blood. When that happens, the hair becomes thinner, and grows slower than normal. According to a study published in the International Journal of Dermatology in January 2007, Caffeine stimulates hair growth and helps make hair follicles resistant to the effect of testosterone. 60 cups of coffee a day is what you would have to drink for that to happen, but it is suggested that applying the coffee directly to the scalp is another way to enjoy its benefits. {source}
