Product Information

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. Now bear with me, this is perhaps the only step that requires you to physically do more than normal. Whilst there isn’t a direct link with hair loss, I felt it was incredibly useful for in those 2 months. You need intense aerobic exercise daily, which is different to weight lifting or yoga or even long distance running. The heart needs to work hard for short periods of time so that all blood vessels, even in the peripheries receive good amounts of oxygenated blood. 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. 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. 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.

Klenk, Skin Pharmacol Physiol 2017, 30, 298-305 A few interesting bits of information I found on the experiments Alpecin did with its caffeine based shampoo: According to the brand, the caffeine used in their product can help to reduce hair loss when used regularly. Should you use Alpecin every day? I suspected that because it was fairly sudden, it had to do with maybe my shampoo or stress but I realised those just worsened an already bad situation. Hair was falling at a greater rate than it used to so I wanted to something about it before I get granny hair in my 30s. Is Alpecin Liquid different? Does Alpecin work? 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 QuestionableIt’s also a good idea to cut the sugar intake by as much as you possibly can, this applies to both complex sugars (carbs) and basic sugars (sugary junk food) because sugar feeds inflammation of all kinds. Patients with arthritis start getting more joint inflammation when they increase their intake of sugar. You may even notice your skin breaking out when you eat too much sugar.

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. 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).You should apply the product daily to obtain and maintain the best results possible. This Alpecin review notes that this process is similar to other well-known hair-loss products. Consistency is key. Does Alpecin keep you awake?

You have many choices besides Alpecin when it comes to preventing hair loss. Below are some products and areas of treatment you might consider: Some people have reported increased hair fall and thinning after using Alpecin products. A possible cause of this is the presence of synthetic preservatives. These include propylparaben, methylparaben, sodium citrate, and sodium chloride. Conducted at the Clinic for Dermatology and Dermatologic Allergology of the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Germany. There are a lot of claims that caffeine is an effective treatment for male pattern baldness – but is it fact or fiction?The minimum requirements you should be setting for your shampoo is that it should be SLS and paraben free as well as free from any perfumes and scents. Any kind of fragrance added to the shampoo is asking for inflammation. It does not help your hair! I repeat, no fragrance, which includes essential oils! I don’t have male pattern baldness (because I’m female, fight me) but I do still have some type of hair loss in that, lately, more hair than usual has been falling out. 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.
