Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo Information
Alpecin Overview
Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo is designed to increase the rate at which your hair grows and also to slow down the rate at which you lose hair due to hereditary hair loss.
Hair loss can have several different causes, however, female and male pattern baldness runs in families causing gradual but permanent hair loss. If you have hereditary hair loss it will become apparent as you get older.
If you have suddenly started losing large volumes of hair that is leaving you with bald patches and are unsure of the cause you must speak to a doctor before starting any treatments.
The active ingredients work in unison to help improve the health of the hair, penetrating the hairs follicles to travel up to the roots, prolonging the growth phase of each hair, stimulating growth and reducing the rate at which old hair is lost.
Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo should be applied to the hair and scalp for 2 minutes each day. This gives the formula enough time to infiltrate the roots and shafts of the hair, allowing it to work quickly to stimulate the growth of your hair. Strengthening your hair from the very first wash.
