      community Could coffee contribute to hair loss?

       4 upvotes 4 years ago
      Coffee may negatively impact hair health due to its vasoconstrictor effects, potential to increase DHT, and interference with nutrient absorption. There is no strong clinical evidence linking caffeine to hair loss or regrowth in humans, but moderation is advised.
