Does caffeine stimulate hair growth or only slow hair loss?Caffeine stimulates hair follicles in laboratory cultures, and one open-label, manufacturer-funded trial in 210 men found a 0.2% caffeine topical non-inferior to minoxidil 5% on an anagen-ratio endpoint. A 2025 systematic review found only a few small controlled trials, mostly rated low or very low quality, and none in alopecia areata.
Is caffeinated shampoo effective or just a marketing gimmick?Small trials of caffeine shampoos report less shedding, but a 2025 systematic review rated most caffeine trials low or very low quality. None shows that a caffeine shampoo regrows hair.
What should I do before my scalp micropigmentation appointment?Providers often ask clients to skip alcohol and caffeine for 24-48 hours before SMP. Never stop a prescribed blood thinner, or aspirin a doctor told you to take, without asking that doctor.
