Is green tea good for your hair growth?
Green tea is one of the healthiest and most popular beverages, rich in antioxidants. Most of its antioxidants come from compounds known as flavonols. Catechins, a type of flavonol, provide many benefits of green tea.
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent catechin in green tea, offers health benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
How does green tea benefit your hair?
- Promotes hair growth: Studies show EGCG in green tea can stimulate hair follicles and increase hair growth, even in cases of hormone-related hair loss.
- Prevents hair loss: Antioxidants in green tea may inhibit testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, slowing hair loss.
- Improves nutrient delivery to hair: Drinking green tea enhances blood flow and nutrient supply to the scalp, aiding hair growth.
How to use green tea for hair:
- Use shampoos with green tea extract.
- Apply green tea masks or conditioners.
- Rinse hair with brewed green tea.
- Drink 1-2 cups of green tea daily.
Side effects: High EGCG doses in supplements may cause stomach issues or liver toxicity. Consult a doctor before use.
