Coffee in Hair

What happens when coffee gets into your hair?

We all know that a coffee rinse adds luster and more intensive tone to brown hair. Although it will not dye your hair (for that purpose you should use henna and indigo), it will give you many other benefits.

If you rinse your hair with coffee, it will not only create a more intense and dark brown tone, add luster but will also make your hair stronger. Research results showed that caffeine blocks the effects of chemicals such as DHT. Harmful DHT damages hair follicles and causes MPB (Male Pattern Baldness).

Coffee benefits for hair and skin:

Caffeine in coffee helps to stimulate hair follicle growth. 
Coffee grounds will exfoliate your scalp. 
Coffee grounds are a great skin treatment. 
Coffee is also often used as part of a henna rinse.

In general, coffee can strengthen your hair and make it look attractive and appealing.

Coffee can be effectively used as shoe deodorizer. After making coffee, let the coffee grounds get dry. Then sprinkle dry coffee grounds into a new ‘filter’,  a thin fabric bag, sock or stocking. Secure it with an adhesive tape and put it inside your shoe. Let the dry coffee grounds sit overnight or longer. The coffee grounds will soak up all odors. Your shoes will smell fresh.

Coffee Benefits for Weight Loss: 5 Things to Remember

Interesting facts:

1. Coffee helps to lose weight. This is a fact based on research. But the most important thing to remember - do not expect miracles. Only a combination of coffee, healthy diet and exercise will enable you to achieve best weight loss results.
2. Drink only black coffee. Never add to coffee sugar, flavored syrup, milk or cream. Drink just well brewed coffee.
3. Coffee is appetite suppressant, therefore try to drink coffee before lunch. But avoid coffee before bed. Do not drink more than five cups of coffee per day. Excessive coffee intake can increase stress and insomnia. As we know, stress and insomnia will make you gain weight.
4. You can drink coffee half an hour before a workout. This will intensify your vigor and alertness. As a result, this will help you to carry out a rigorous, intensive workout.
5. Coffee causes you to lose fluids. Supplement your coffee with a lot of water. One cup of coffee should be consumed with one glass of water.

And one more thing to remember: excessive drinking of black coffee can make your teeth darker. So, brush your teeth after drinking coffee if you want your teeth to remain white.

Coffee, Dehydration and Tannin

Caffeine acts as a diuretic, which means that it dehydrates your body. Two or three cups of coffee per day would not dehydrate your body too much. However, if  you drink six or more cups of strong coffee per day, it may not be good for you. 

Coffee contains chemical compound called tannin. Tannin is a natural organic substance (polyphenols) which can be found not only in coffee or tea but also in wine, berries, nuts, and some herbal teas. Research results show that tannin affects iron absorption.

If you drink a lot of coffee every day, you should probably eat more food that contains iron, e.g. nuts, beef, green vegetables and  beans.

Tannin dehydrates your skin and has some other side effects.
