It smooths the cuticle so hair combs through without tearing, and when\nyou have less hair than you used to, hanging on to the length you already have is worth the two\nminutes it takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conditioning base does the visible work. It coats the hair shaft, lays the cuticle flat and\ncuts the friction of combing and towel drying, which is where fine hair usually breaks. That effect\nis real and you feel it the same day, and it is the honest reason to buy a conditioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaffeine is the ingredient people buy this category for, so it is worth being precise about it.\nThe laboratory findings are real and they are also narrow. In cultured human scalp follicles,\ncaffeine counteracted the growth suppression caused by testosterone and appeared to raise IGF-1\nand lower TGF-beta2. That work was done in cell culture, at concentrations chosen to suit the\nculture, and a good deal of the review literature built on top of it was written by employees of a\nshampoo manufacturer. Caffeine does reach the follicle quickly from a rinse-off product and can\nstill be detected there around a day later, which tells you the delivery works and tells you\nnothing about whether hair grows. The human trials that exist are small, largely funded by\nmanufacturers, and mostly ran caffeine as a leave-on solution applied twice a day rather than as a\nconditioner you rinse out after two minutes. Treat caffeine here as plausible and unproven, and a\nlong way behind\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/minoxidil-topical-solution-5\"\u003eMinoxidil Topical Solution USP, 5%\u003c\/a\u003e, which is the\nonly ingredient in this range with strong regrowth evidence behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiotin is here for the feel of the fibre. Oral biotin only helps people who are genuinely\ndeficient, and the controlled evidence in people who are not deficient shows no benefit to hair\ngrowth. Applied to the hair shaft it behaves as a conditioning agent, and we make no growth claim\nfor it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it belongs here\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost shampoos aimed at thinning hair lean towards cleansing, and a scalp routine involving\ndaily washing, scrub steps and alcohol-based topicals leaves the mid-lengths rough. Those\nmid-lengths are the oldest hair on your head and the first thing to snap. Losing length to\nbreakage looks identical in the mirror to losing hair at the follicle, and it is far easier to\nfix. This is the conditioner for men with fine or thinning hair who want body without weight. If\nyour hair is bleached, heat-damaged or chemically treated, the\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/repair-protein-conditioner\"\u003eRepair Protein Conditioner\u003c\/a\u003e is the stronger\nchoice, and if breakage is about length retention on coarse or textured hair, look at the\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/chebe-conditioner\"\u003eChebe Strengthening Conditioner\u003c\/a\u003e instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse it after every wash, which for most people means three to seven times a\nweek.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSqueeze the excess water out of your hair first. Conditioner applied to soaking hair mostly\n    runs down the drain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse a coin-sized amount, roughly 5 mL, for short hair, and about double that if your hair is\n    past the ears. A 250 mL bottle covers roughly two months of daily washing at that rate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWork it through the mid-lengths and ends. Keep it off the roots and the scalp, because that\n    is what flattens fine hair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComb it through with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb while it is on, which is the point at\n    which it protects against breakage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeave it for one to two minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRinse thoroughly with cool water until the hair no longer feels slippery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you use a topical treatment, wash and condition first.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry your scalp\ncompletely, then apply the topical. Applying minoxidil and then washing it out a few hours later\nthrows the dose away, and a wet scalp spreads it around instead of leaving it where you put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe change in how your hair feels happens on the first wash. Combing gets easier straight away\nand the ends look less ragged. Less breakage over six to eight weeks means you keep more length,\nwhich reads as more density even though the number of hairs on your head has not changed. That is\nthe whole of it. This is a cosmetic product, it will not regrow hair, and it does not alter the\ncourse of pattern hair loss. If regrowth is what you are after, that job belongs to the minoxidil\nin this range and this conditioner simply sits alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, and rinse with water if it happens. Do not\nuse it on a scalp that is broken, inflamed or sore. If you react easily to hair products, test a\nsmall amount behind the ear and leave it a day before using it properly. Stop using it if you\ndevelop itching, redness or a rash. Keep out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quintéa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57981126902142,"sku":"QN-CAFFEINECONDITIONE","price":62.99,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/9849\/4078\/files\/caffeine-conditioner.png?v=1790587636","url":"https:\/\/quintea.eu\/products\/caffeine-conditioner","provider":"Quintéa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
