Should you use coffee on your hair?

But does this hack of using coffee on your hair actually work? Before you give Jawed’s coffee hair hack a try, here’s what you should know – a November 7, 2019 article on Healthline.com looked at the possible benefits of using coffee on your hair, potential side effects, and how to apply.

Per the report, there isn’t a lot of research supporting the use of coffee on hair. But according to the research available, coffee — more specifically the caffeine in coffee — may improve the appearance and texture of hair in a few ways.

The report stated that a 2007 study published on Onlinelibrary.wiley.com found that caffeine helped block the effects of DHT in male hair follicles. It stimulated hair shaft elongation, resulting in longer, wider hair roots. It also prolonged anagen duration, which is the hair growth stage. The study also tested the effects of caffeine on female hair follicles and found that it had a growth promoting effect on hair follicles in females, too.
