Stage One: The Double Effect Shampoo loosens scaly, keratinous cells and helps remove dandruff from the scalp. Its not going to make your hair grow back like you think it will, what it will do however, is at least slow down the hair loss so its not dropping of at the rate it would without. The product line consists of two shampoo formulations, C1 and CTX, as well as an after-shampoo solution. Okay, yes, this shampoo was formulated to address age-related fallout, but it's the first one I reached for when I started experiencing postpartum hair loss, and let me tell ya, it's hiiighly effective.

It doesn't leave your hair as soft as other shampoos, however I have definitely noticed less hair falling out within a week. Apparently, it can stimulate the hair follicles back into hair regrowth, reduce inflammation within scalp tissue, and also counteract the damage that testosterone does to the skin. There are three major phases of the hair growth cycle: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (rest).And inflammation can be reduced by either vasoconstriction (what Alpecin does) or vasodilation (what drugs like minoxidil do as a hair loss treatment). Caffeine does not inhibit the 5-alpha reductase which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone into DHT. I realised that I was suffering from pretty bad chronic inflammation on my scalp which is why application of Alpecin liquid was painful whereas others stated it has a ‘minty feel’.

However, whilst somewhat controversial, it’s often been said that certain shampoo ingredients can cause side effects including: skin irritation and allergies, eye irritation, hormone disruption and damage to hair follicles (which can be harmful to hair growth).

Shampoos are a helpful way to apply caffeine because they can penetrate hair follicles quickly on application. I've been suffering from dandruff issue since my teenage years until recently I found out about Alpecin from Try and Review site. Always consult with a qualified health care specialist before making any lifestyle, dietary or other health related changes.For this reason, the UK Advertising Standards Authority ruled that Alpecin could not advertise products as reducing hair loss. I tried many different brand of shampoos and even the expensive one doesn’t work so effective like alpecin hybrid.
