Experts assess coffee shampoo trend for hair growth

A viral trend claims mixing coffee with shampoo cleans the scalp, adds shine, and reduces hair fall.

Coffee contains caffeine and antioxidants that may stimulate hair follicles and improve blood circulation.

Coffee acts as a natural exfoliator to deep-clean the scalp, potentially relieving itchiness or mild dandruff.

To use, mix one teaspoon of coffee powder with regular shampoo, massage for 2-3 minutes, then rinse.

Experts advise a patch test and caution against overuse, as too much coffee can dry out hair.
