What’s not to love about it? Let’s see how green tea benefits hair and how to use it to get healthy hair.
Green tea contains antioxidants and vitamins A, E, C, and several B Vitamins. Chromium, zinc, and manganese are minerals found in green tea.
With a rich nutrient profile like that, it’s no surprise that green tea does wonders for hair and scalp. It is said that green tea can curb inflammation and prevent balding or hair thinning.
Unlike Black Tea, Green tea doesn’t undergo the fermentation process, which makes it richer and ideal for hair care. Rich in caffeine and catechins, both powerful antioxidants in their own right, they stimulate hair follicles, block the hormone DHT, which contributes to hair loss, and promote hair growth.
It nourishes the scalp and strengthens hair follicles, reducing hair thinning. The polyphenols in green tea, particularly catechins, have similar properties to antioxidants.
Combined with the anti-inflammatory properties of green tea, it soothes itchy scalp and combats dandruff.
Rich in antifungal and antibacterial properties, it checks scalp issues caused by microbial infestations. It also regulates the scalp’s sebum levels.
The major hair types are oily, regular, and dry hair types. Each hair type benefits from using green tea differently and is suitable for all hair types.
