Khaberni - Green tea has become a focus of interest for hair care enthusiasts after studies showed its ability to support hair growth and reduce hair loss, alongside its known health benefits for the heart and weight.
Green tea contains powerful antioxidants and plant compounds such as epigallocatechin gallate, which may protect hair follicles from damage and stimulate new hair growth.
The caffeine present in it also plays a role in boosting hair strength by stimulating the follicles. However, green tea is not a primary treatment for hair loss, but a supplement to the hair care routine, and medical consultation is advised in cases of severe thinning or scalp problems.
There are several natural ways to use green tea for hair, including applying soaked and cooled tea bags directly to the scalp, drinking two to three cups daily, or taking its supplements as directed by a doctor. The choice of method depends on lifestyle and caffeine sensitivity.
Green tea is safe to consume in moderation, but overconsumption may cause tension or insomnia, while supplements may lead to gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea and constipation.
Its topical use may cause dryness or irritation in the scalp. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, and those on certain medications like blood thinners or cholesterol drugs, are advised to consult a doctor before use.
It is important to remember that results vary from person to person, as genetics, hormones, and scalp health play a significant role in the effectiveness of green tea for hair growth. For best results, it is preferred to regularly incorporate it into a hair care routine instead of using it intermittently.
