Product Information

What they mean here by “impact of male hormones” is DHT, the byproduct of testosterone which is responsible for much of hair loss in both men and women. Do Androgens Really Cause Female Hair Loss? Dr. Wolff, the maker of Plantur 39, also has another popular shampoo line for men, Alpecin. However, the active ingredients in both lines of shampoo are almost identical. Plantur 39 claims that its products keep hair from falling out, and provide support and protection for damaged and stressed hair. Before the menopause, hair roots are protected by high levels of female hormones (estrogen). After the menopause, estrogen levels will decline and the impact of male hormones (testosterone) will increase. Plantur partly bases their claim for caffeine on studies that show the hair follicles retain caffeine up to 24 hours after using the shampoo. They stop short of actually suggesting the shampoo can cause hair growth.

In male AGA, there is an established link between the male hormones (androgens) and hair loss. The main culpable androgen being DHT. Men who due to genetic mutations cannot synthesize DHT never go bald.Plantur 39 products are relatively new to the US, but they have been established in the European market since 2005. The company that sells Plantur 39, Dr. Wolff, is a massive German beauty conglomerate that has existed since 1905. They report sales of Plantur are strong and have seen continuous growth since its introduction. Plantur 39 for colour-treated and stressed hair contains Phyto-Caffeine complex with natural wheat extracts which activates the hair roots during washing. Nature’s phyto active ingredients help the scalp protect itself from the consequences of decline estrogen levels. The caffeine in this shampoo prevents premature exhaustion of hair growth caused by the impacts of testosterone. The Plantur 39 company says that caffeine, which is a primary active ingredient in these products, can reduce hair loss resulting from low estrogen and elevated androgens. A combination of natural wheat extracts and provitamin B5 condition, repair and protect coloured and stressed hair. The damaged hair structure is smoothed and the hair is provided with intensive shine.

The scientific consensus is that what we call female AGA are actually diverse pathologies. We have grouped these together under one term (female AGA) more for reasons of convenience than anything else. While some cases are linked to androgens and will respond to antiandrogenic treatments like spirolactone, many won’t. Most researchers agree that androgens contribute to around one-third to one-half of female AGA cases. Yet even in these cases, there are probably other factors that scientists have not yet identified (1). This is the reason why anti-androgen medications are not the first line of treatment. It also explains why the FDA never approved finasteride for female AGA. In collaboration with the dermatological institute of the University Clinic Jena, Dr. Wolff -Research has discovered properties of caffeine, which could help reduce this type of hair loss.Plantur 39 recommends that you use their shampoo and conditioner often. In addition, they also recommend using the Plantur 39 tonic. This also contains caffeine, but unlike the shampoo and conditioner, you don’t wash it out.
