EFFECT OF DRINKING GREEN TEA AND DIY GREEN TEA RINSE FOR HAIR GROWTH

 HELLO LOVELIES, 

Hope you are having a great day?, so today we would be looking at the effects of drinking green tea and also applying it directly to the hair.  Just relax and read through. ENJOY! 

WHAT IS GREEN TEA 

Green tea is made from fresh tea leaves that are kept to dry under the sun to prevent oxidation and fermentation. Though green tea are of different types with different processing methods. 

Green tea contains antioxidants such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) which increases hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles and preventing damage to the hair cells. 

BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA 

1. It improves the delivery of nutrients to your body and hair e.g blood flow and oxygen delivery .

2. Green tea may prevent hair loss. 

3. It supports hair regrowth. 

Drinking green tea would only provide nutrients and blood flow to the hair in the follicles and not the strands because once the hair strand grows out of the follicle, it no longer recieves a supply of nutrients. 

And if you would love to apply green tea  directly to your hair, make sure you apply it to the scalp and roots for best results. 

NOTE: Drinking green tea with higher amount of EGCG may lead to stomach ache and liver toxicity. It is advisable to take atleast 1 cup of green tea per day if you must drink it.
