Grown in around eighty countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and south and Central America, coffee comes from the coffee tree which is a tropical evergreen shrub and the two most commercially important species grown are the Coffea Arabica and Coffea canephora. Coffee has numerous benefits from helping with depression to liver disease, coffee has antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and anti-cellulite properties which are all ideal for perfecting skincare.

Coffee also has caffeine and this white crystalline powder that is a naturally occurring stimulant is excellent for penetrating the hair follicles and stimulating them. Caffeine can also add a natural sheen to hair but many use it to help in slowing down hair loss while speeding up hair growth with the hair follicle stimulation. This is why a coffee scrub is so amazing for hair growth.

 Coffee can be used as scalps exfoliate, a hair scrub and a hair rinse with each helping by stimulating hair growth. The exfoliate properties help to remove dead skin cells, dirt, dandruff, oil and even product build-up which can clog your scalp’s pores. Here are some DIY recipes for all three that will change your hair and coffee game drastically for the better.

Simple Coffee Hair Rinse

Simply brew some strong coffee and allow to cool. Shampoo hair as usual and take the cool coffee and pour over your head. You can use a big bowl under your head to capture the excess and re dump over your head again for added coverage. Place hair in shower cap and let sit for up to an hour. Rinse out with warm water and allow to air dry or style as usual. This will help darken hair (may not be ideal for lighter-colored women), add shine and help strengthen your strands.

If you just want the exfoliating effects of a coffee scrub for regular cleansing and conditioning, simply add some grounds to your shampoo or deep conditioner  bottles to boost your products ability to exfoliate and aid in hair growth. I know I talk about coffee A LOT, but it needs to be a regular in your beauty regimen because its so simple to use, inexpensive and has a host of amazing benefits.
