The Powerful Benefits of Green Tea for Hair

So, you’ve probably been sipping green tea for a while due to its antioxidant health benefits.

We’ve done our research and know that not only does green tea do on the inside, but the benefits of green tea, when used on hair, are pretty fantastic too.

The Powerful Benefits of Green Tea for Hair

What Makes Green Tea So Great?

First, let’s talk about what makes green tea such a healthy option. Green tea is loaded with EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-), powerful antioxidants known as polyphenols. Antioxidants protect against free radicals, rogue molecules that cause oxidative stress in the body, leading to potential cell damage. This cell damage can result in things like premature aging of the skin and hair, and even some disease.

Both green and black tea come from the Camellia sinensis tea plant. While black tea is allowed to dry after picking and then left to oxidize, green tea is steamed and dried directly after harvest. This gentle results in higher antioxidant levels in green tea than black tea.

How Much Green Tea Should You Have Each Day? 

Many experts recommend drinking three to four cups of green tea each day to reap the health benefits it offers. Green tea contains around 35 mg of caffeine in an eight-ounce cup (coffee clocks in at 100 mg) so keep this in mind if you are sensitive to caffeinated beverages. Of course, we recommend drinking organic green tea to reduce toxins that may be hiding in conventionally produced tea.

Hair Benefits of Green Tea

Now, what about those green tea benefits for hair? Studies link green tea to a visible boost in hair growth and healthy hair. A study from Seoul National University showed topical use of green tea stimulates human hair growth due to its super-high concentrations of EGCG. Green tea also contains Panthenol, which strengthens hair and prevents split ends. 

That caffeine content we talked about? It’s actually good for hair. A study done on the effects of caffeine on androgenetic alopecia, a hereditary and androgen-dependent thinning of the hair that affects both men and women, found that the buzz-inducing substance stimulates and promotes hair growth.
