Caffeineintake may increase DHT levels, but its impact on hair loss is minimal compared to genetic factors. Excessive caffeine can cause health issues, and its effects on hair loss are not directly applicable to humans based on rat studies.
Minoxidil and caffeine may interact, affecting hair growth results. Users shared mixed experiences, with some noticing improvements without caffeine and others still seeing results despite coffee consumption.
The conversation discusses alternative hair loss treatments beyond the commonly used Minoxidil and Finasteride. One user is trying diclofenac gel, caffeine + antioxidant serum, finasteride, ketoconazole shampoo, and has stopped using Minoxidil due to ineffectiveness, while another user has adopted lifestyle changes like exercise, diet, stress reduction, and topical caffeine, along with scalp massages and microneedling.
The user is happy with their hair regrowth after using 2.5mg Minoxidil and 1mg Finasteride daily for six months. They are considering adding microneedling to their treatment.
