Many people praise green tea for all the good it does for your health. It is a household staple, after all. But its capacity to delay the emergence of grey hair and keep it dark and shiny is its lesser-known beauty secret.
As an all-natural, nutrient-and antioxidant-rich beverage, green tea can be an important part of your hair care regimen.

The Antioxidant Powerhouse
Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells, including hair follicles. The catechins in green tea are potent antioxidants that fight these free radicals.
The breakdown of your hair’s pigment cells, brought on by these free radicals over time, can cause your hair to grey prematurely. You may help shield your hair from this oxidative damage and keep its colour for longer by making green tea part of your regular regimen.
Stimulating Hair Growth and Strength
Another well-known benefit of green tea is its capacity to promote new hair growth. Green tea’s polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), have a positive effect on hair development by blocking the action of the hair-loss hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
If you would rather work with your hair than with an appliance, a green tea hair mask is a great option for intensive nourishing. Apply a mixture of brewed green tea, honey, coconut oil, or yoghurt on your scalp and hair. You should wait half an hour before washing it off.
