WHEN it comes to promoting hair growth, many people turn to natural remedies for their hair care routines.
One such treatment that has gained attention recently involves combining cinnamon and coffee.
Both ingredients are packed with properties that may help encourage hair growth and improve scalp health.
One woman, who is known as ‘naturalzana,’ on TikTok, has praised the DIY hair oil for helping for regrowth on her bald patches.
She says: “If you’re looking to encourage hair growth, a cinnamon and coffee treatment might be worth trying.”
To begin, you’ll need just a few basic ingredients: ground cinnamon, ground coffee, and your preferred oil (such as olive oil).
Start by combining the cinnamon and coffee with the oil.
She says: “The mixture is then gently heated in a double boiler to infuse the oil with the cinnamon and coffee.
“Once cooled and strained, this oil can be applied to the scalp and hair as a hot oil treatment.
“It’s suggested to massage the oil into the scalp, cover your hair with a cap for about 30 minutes, and then wash it out with a mild shampoo.”
For optimal results, it’s recommended to repeat this process twice a month.
Consistency is key when using natural treatments, so make this part of your regular hair care routine for the best possible outcome.
She adds: “The caffeine in coffee can stimulate blood flow to the scalp, while cinnamon’s antioxidant and antimicrobial properties may promote healthy hair growth and address scalp issues.”
Together, these ingredients create a powerful, natural solution for anyone looking to boost hair health.
Her video gained a lot of attention, with many people rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One asked: “Can any coffee be used here?”
To which the beauty fan replied: “Use ground coffee.”
Another said: “That alopecia shown is in my head right now…I have been struggling. Thanks for this. I hope it helps me.”
A third beauty fan, who has already tested it out, added: “Slowly seeing progress.”

Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength.
It’s perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why It Happens More This Time of Year
Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That’s seasonal shedding!
During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it’s like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss
The great news? You don’t need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages—they’re so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that’s rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health.
Products to Avoid
Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens – they can be drying and damage hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.
