Frequently asked questions
What is Plantur 39?
Plantur 39 is a caffeine-based shampoo and tonic range aimed at women, particularly during and after the menopause, when hair can become finer. The caffeine is intended to support the hair roots and scalp as part of your routine.
Does Plantur 39 work for hair loss and thinning?
Plantur 39 is designed to support the scalp and help hair look fuller, and some people feel it helps, but the evidence that caffeine shampoos regrow hair is limited and it is not a cure for hair loss. If you are losing noticeable amounts of hair, see your GP, as there may be a treatable cause.
How do you use Plantur 39 tonic?
The leave-in tonic is applied to the scalp and not rinsed out, usually after washing, so the caffeine stays in contact with the scalp. Follow the instructions on the pack for how often to use it.
Can men use Plantur 39?
Plantur 39 is formulated and marketed for women; for men, the same maker offers the Alpecin caffeine range, which is designed for men's hair and scalp. Men are better off choosing that.
Can you use Plantur 39 on coloured hair?
Yes, Plantur 39 is generally fine to use on coloured or highlighted hair as part of your normal washing routine. As always, follow the pack and stop if your scalp becomes irritated.
