How to Use Green Tea for Hair Growth

Learn how to use green tea for hair growth in 3 effective ways!

Green tea is best known for its anti-aging and weight loss properties but did you know that your cup of green goodness also promotes hair growth?!

How Does Green Tea Promote Hair Growth

  • By stimulating the hair follicles. It’s contains caffeine that increases blood circulation in the scalp. This stimulates the hair follicles and encourages hair growth.
  • Cleansing the scalp. Green tea can be used as a mild shampoo on its own or mixed with liquid castile soap to gently cleanse the scalp. This removes impurities, paving way for new healthy hairs.
  • Balancing scalp oils. Since it is a natural astringent, green tea regulates excess sebum production on the scalp. This leaves your scalp free from excess oils and stale sebum that clogs hair follicles and discourages hair growth.
  • Fighting dandruff. Dandruff can lead to thinning hair. Green tea has astringent properties and a scalp toning effect. This banishes dandruff, leaving your scalp fresh and clean for hair to grow uninterrupted.
  • Strengthening the hair shaft. Green tea contains panthenol and a unique amino acid called theanine. Both of these compounds work together to strengthen the hair shaft and prevent hair breakage.

Okay, now let’s explore the best ways on how to use green tea for hair growth:
