Our dedication to using pure natural ingredients and creating clean products has made us rely heavily on green tea.

Green tea, celebrated for its myriad health benefits, extends its powerful benefits to your hair and skin. Beyond being a beneficial beverage, green tea is a nutritional powerhouse, enabling optimal conditions for thriving and healthy hair. 

Let’s look at the science-backed reasons why incorporating green tea into your routine can be a game-changer for hair health. But first, what’s in green tea? It’s rich in various components, each contributing to its health benefits. Here’s a list of key components found in green tea:

Polyphenols: Green tea is particularly high in polyphenols, such as catechins. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant and potent catechin, known for its antioxidant properties.

Caffeine: Green tea contains caffeine, though in smaller amounts compared to coffee. The combination of caffeine and L-theanine in green tea is believed to provide a milder, more stable energy boost.

L-Theanine: This amino acid is found almost exclusively in tea plants. It has a calming effect and can mitigate the stimulating effects of caffeine, promoting a state of relaxed alertness.

Flavonoids: Green tea is rich in flavonoids, which contribute to its antioxidant properties. Flavonoids help neutralize free radicals in the body.

Vitamins: Green tea contains various vitamins, including vitamin C, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), and folate. These vitamins play important roles in overall health.

Minerals: Green tea provides minerals such as potassium, calcium, and phosphorus. While the amounts are not as significant as in some foods, they contribute to the overall nutritional profile.

Amino Acids: Besides L-theanine, green tea contains other amino acids like theanine, arginine, and glutamic acid.

Enzymes: Green tea contains enzymes such as polyphenol oxidase, which can have an impact on the tea’s color and flavor.

Chlorophyll: The green color of green tea is due to chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis in plants.

Fiber: Green tea leaves contain a small amount of dietary fiber, which can contribute to digestive health.

Hair Benefits

1.  Green Tea is Rich in Antioxidants:

Green tea is a treasure trove of antioxidants, particularly catechins. These compounds help to neutralize free radicals, the molecules that can wreak havoc on your hair follicles, contributing to issues like hair loss, hair fall, and premature graying.

2. DHT Blocker:

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone associated with hair loss. Green tea contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent compound known to inhibit the production of DHT. By incorporating green tea into your routine, you’re potentially putting a brake on the hair loss process.

3. Promotes Hair Growth:

Catechins, once again taking the spotlight, stimulate hair follicles and encourage growth. This is one of the secrets behind our hair-thickening oil formula, HAIR MANIFESTO – HAIR GROWTH AND REPAIR OIL, PLUS SCAP TREATMENT.  The presence of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) promotes the proliferation of dermal papilla cells, crucial for hair regeneration. Regular consumption of green tea and use of authentic green tea products can give you beautiful, thicker, and more voluminous hair.

4. Strengthens Hair Strands:

Green tea is rich in panthenol, a small molecule that penetrates the hair shaft, locking in moisture and improving flexibility. This results in stronger hair strands that are less prone to breakage, split ends, and overall damage.

5. Green Tea Improves Scalp Health:

A healthy scalp is the foundation for proper hair growth if you are keen on achieving thicker, longer, shinier, and healthier hair. Green tea possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties that can keep your scalp free from infections and dandruff. A clean, well-nourished scalp is essential for optimal hair health.

6. Reduces Hair Shedding:

Catechins in green tea are known to inhibit an enzyme linked to hair loss and hair fall, thereby reducing hair shedding and therefore hair thinning. By enjoying a cup of green tea regularly, as we as using green tea based products,   you’re actively contributing to retaining more of your precious strands.

7. Caffeine Effect:

Studies suggests caffeine may have positive impacts by stimulating hair follicles and promoting hair growth. It can penetrate the hair follicles and interact with the hair shaft, potentially extending the growth phase of the hair cycle. It may also inhibit the effects of DHT, which can help reduce hair loss. Caffeine is known to enhance blood circulation, and has the potential to extend the anagen phase, leading to longer hair growth. 

How to Use the Power of Green Tea for Your Hair:

Internal Consumption: Sip on green tea as part of your daily routine. Aim for at least one to three cups a day to reap the hair health benefits.

Topical Application: Consider using green tea-infused hair products e.g. HAIR MANIFESTO – HAIR GROWTH AND REPAIR OIL, PLUS SCAP TREATMENT, or creating your DIY hair rinse. Applying green tea – at least twice a month directly to your hair and scalp can deliver its goodness more directly.

Supplements: Green tea supplements can provide a concentrated dose of the beneficial compounds found in green tea.

In conclusion, the nutritional benefits of green tea extends far beyond its role as a beverage. By incorporating this antioxidant-rich elixir into your routine, you’re not only promoting overal health but also nurturing your hair, as well as your skin from within.
