Tea has proven to be a cure for the common cold, stress and everything else in between, including hair woes. Tea rinses have been a popular hair remedy for centuries, with beauty gurus of all backgrounds and hair types making them a fixture in their hair care routines.
Why use a tea rinse?
Stimulate growth
Packed with nutrients and antioxidants, green tea is an effective solution for hair growth. Because it is caffeinated, green tea is strong enough to penetrate the hair’s follicles and deliver a reinvigorating charge. Being the multitasker that it is, green tea’s antioxidant properties also prevent sun damage, and the growth of bacteria and fungus.
Reduce shedding
Black tea works best for people who are looking to combat shedding. Black teas’ natural properties help to block the hormone DHT that is responsible for hair shedding. So, as it works to keep hair firmly rooted to the scalp, black tea will also nourish and strengthen your delicate strands.
Green Tea: Anti-Dandruff + Hair Growth
Green tea is an excellent rinse for fighting dandruff and stimulating growth. Black tea can be a good alternative, but green tea offers more antioxidants and nutrients. Studies have proven green tea’s success at treating hair loss, too. The caffeine penetrates the hair follicles and encourages growth. Green tea also nourishes your scalp and protects it from dandruff, bacteria, fungus, and sun damage.
