Male’s hormone testosterone is responsible for baldness in
men, meaning that the more testosterone a man as, the more prone he is to losing
his hair. Head of the research team Professor Peter Elsner states that hormonal
boldness could in fact be prevented by means of caffeine.
As a result of their extensive research studies, German
scientists arrived at a fascinating conclusion!
Apparently, claim the scientists, it is possible to prevent baldness at an early
age by means of treating hair with products containing caffeine (for instance by
rubbing a special solution into the scalp).
However, the scientific team advises coffee lovers against consuming their
favorite beverage in excess to fight baldness. According to an expert-cosmetologist
Adolf Klenka, “one would need to consume 60-80 cups of coffee per day for the
caffeine to reach hair follicles.”
Professor Elsner in turn notes that “even though a person would be willing to do
just that for beauty’s sake, our research did not cover the way caffeine intake
influences one’s scalp. We did prove however that caffeine should be used as an
external substance that should be applied directly onto the scalp.”
According to him, those men who are genetically predisposed to baldness, should
consider such “caffeine therapy” while they are still relatively young. German
medics consider that rubbing coffee ground into the scalp is the most effective
way to prevent baldness.
