Long-term use of Alpecin may also fade your hair colour or turn it brownish. Especially if you use colourings in your hair, you may want to avoid using caffeine-based shampoos. Reduced efficacy over long periods
Two weeks in and I hadn’t noticed any significant change in my hair loss, good or bad. I was improving my diet during this time and doing less to my hair overall to really push any kind of benefit. However, I did notice my hair becoming thinner and more brittle. Unfortunately this is where I drew the line and stopped using it further. How Does Alpecin Work?In one independent study, subjects used Plantur shampoo over a 6 month period. Each patient left the shampoo on for the required two-minute period. This study was restricted to female sufferers of androgenetic alopecia. This really explains my whole experience in using Alpecin Liquid. The condition of my hair depreciated and it started thinning two weeks in and this may be the reduced blood flow. Obviously, it’s a combination of accepted theory and my personal experience, not a proper experiment but I’m convinced this is why it happened. Why Alpecin’s Data is Questionable Collagen (a protein) is what hair and skin is made from. It is an essential component of keratin production. Be it in the form of lean beef, which has the most bioavailable source of protein or in the form of powdered hydrolysed beef collagen, you need it for any improved hair growth. The brand isn’t relevant if you make sure it is hydrolysed and beef based, but taking about two table spoons twice a day will boost your energy levels. It fills a void inside which is hard to explain but you notice hair and nails grow much faster and personally my skin started to improve too.
These preservatives can cause scalp irritation and lead to increased itching and redness. You may also suffer an allergic reaction to caffeine. Discolouration I did it for about 5 minutes everyday with virgin coconut oil, gently using the tips of my fingers and applying directly into the scalp. I didn’t miss a single day for weeks because each day it became clear it was helping. Remember — BE CONSISTENT. The central ingredient in Alpecin shampoo is caffeine. Studies show that caffeine can stimulate hair follicles and promote new hair growth in people suffering from hair loss and male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia). From what I understand know, inflammation is potentially the root cause of many if not all forms of alopecia. And inflammation can be reduced by either vasoconstriction (what Alpecin does) or vasodilation (what drugs like minoxidil do as a hair loss treatment). The difference is, vasoconstriction will eventually deprive the hair follicles of vital nutrients and oxygen — all the stuff it needs to produce hair. No Alpecin review would be complete without taking a look at what customers have to say about the brand and their product. So, we took to the internet to get the latest scoop and sleuth out all the nitty-gritty details.For more severe hair loss, consider an alternative hair loss treatment like Minoxidil, Finasteride, or laser regrowth therapy. These solutions are proven to be effective for people experiencing pattern baldness. Hair transplantation Differential effects of caffeine on hair shaft elongation, matrix and outer root sheath keratinocyte proliferation, and transforming growth factor-b2/insulin-like growth factor-1-mediated regulation of the hair cycle in male and female human hair follicles in vitro: Caffeine-based shampoos have become quite popular recently over the long-held belief that they can help stimulate hair growth, strengthen fine and weakened hair, and prevent further thinning. A few interesting bits of information I found on the experiments Alpecin did with its caffeine based shampoo:
It contains a special purple pigment that helps prevent the discoloration or yellowing of hair. Using the shampoo daily can create a slight purple hue on hair – only use it every fourth wash. After about 4 days of daily bleep tests to about level 11, the colour of my face totally changed. It became brighter and fresher, which obviously meant circulation had improved. If it can reach the small capillaries in the skin of my face, it’s not a stretch to say it would be reach the scalp too. Hair transplants are the best way to restore lost hair. If you are considering a hair transplant then take a look at our before and after hair transplant gallery. We’ve helped over 10,000 patients restore their hair and self-confidence.That said, there is still so much we do not fully understand about the relationship between baldness and caffeine. Perhaps in time, and with more research, we can say for certain if it’s an effective treatment. But for now, we are cautiously optimistic. The benefits of using Alpecin shampoo Promotes hair growth It’s hard for some hardcore believers of essential oils but they aren’t suitable for everything. In fact, many are neurotoxic which is why it comes with large warning signs telling you not to ingest it. The truth is, you can experience unwanted side effects from it simply absorbing into your skin. If this causes your skin to flair up, a skin or hair problem is headed your way.

Application: It should only be used for grey or white hair. For white hair, use every fourth wash. Other products to consider Alpecin has been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority from making the claim that its shampoo “helps hair loss”, as they deemed the clinical evidence as ‘not adequate’. The first application felt like my scalp was on fire and it felt like the burn listerine mouth wash has in your mouth, or pure lemon water on your skin. I thought maybe this was part of the process so I braved through but it improved as the days went on. After searching online, this is apparently from the high alcohol content in it but others didn’t react that badly to it. I realised that I was suffering from pretty bad chronic inflammation on my scalp which is why application of Alpecin liquid was painful whereas others stated it has a ‘minty feel’. It does have some alcohol and citric acid in it which is equivalent to putting alcohol on a minor wound, it will sting! This may also be why I started losing more hair straightaway as it worsened inflammation to begin with. Conducted at the Center for Cosmetologic Research, Catholic University of Sacred Heart, Rome and Evic Italia, Italy.I mentioned how I didn’t really pay attention to the shampoo I was using until my hair started falling. Whatever smelt good, looked ‘natural’ and had a nice bottle would be enough for me to start buying it. Alpecin’s study was conducted using extracted human hair follicles, and performed in vitro (meaning outside of the body). This means the results of their research can’t necessarily be applied to real-world hair loss, as how hair follicles react on your head is very different to how they react in a Petri dish. For this reason, the UK Advertising Standards Authority ruled that Alpecin could not advertise products as reducing hair loss. They came under scrutiny for only using male patients in studies who suffered from androgenic alopecia and for using unorthodox measuring practices. Some studies also did not have control groups for comparison.
