Is your hair breaking, dry and have a scalp full of dandruff? Then include drinking green tea or washing your hair with green tea in your beauty routine.
In addition to being one of the most popular beverages around the world for centuries, green tea consumption greatly contributes to overall health, including skin and hair.
It is a treasure trove of antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes and vitamins that play a key role in maintaining health.
Green tea, full of catechins, helps reduce the level of dihydrotestosterone (DTH) - the main cause of hair loss.
Green tea affects hair loss
Being rich in ascorbic acid, carotenoids, tocopherols, selenium and zinc, green tea can help prevent hair loss and even promote hair growth. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (ECGC) contained in it protects hair cells from damage.
Green tea provides hydration
Green tea is enriched with vitamin B, which makes it a common ingredient in many hair products, especially shampoos and conditioners. Due to the presence of vitamin B in green tea, it is a good moisturizer and thus provides moisture to your hair.
Green tea prevents dandruff
Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, it can help you get rid of dandruff. Since lemon is an excellent source of vitamin C, adding a few drops of lemon to green tea can effectively eliminate dandruff.
Green tea affects the shine of the hair
Green tea is also full of vitamin E, which contributes significantly to achieving shiny and smooth hair. It also has exfoliating properties and can protect hair from external damage.
Hair care with green tea
Add 1-2 bags of green tea to boiling water and let it steep for 5 minutes. After it cools down, apply the liquid to your hair.
In addition, you can try drink 1-2 cups (240-480 ml) of green tea a day to provide your body with a good source of antioxidants.
