Why Green Tea is a Game-Changer for Hair Shedding
If you’re dealing with excessive shedding, weak strands, or an irritated scalp, it might be time to look beyond the usual remedies. One natural powerhouse that deserves a spot in your routine? Green tea. Packed with antioxidants, nutrients, and scalp-soothing compounds, green tea can help transform your hair health from the root up.
Let’s dive into what makes green tea a go-to for shedding and how to incorporate it into your regimen—plus the perfect way to lock in those benefits with Virtuous Collections favorites.
The Benefits of a Green Tea Rinse for Your Scalp & Hair
1. DHT Blocker for Hair Loss Prevention
Green tea contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a powerful antioxidant that helps block the hormone DHT, which is one of the leading causes of hair shedding and thinning. Regular green tea rinses may reduce the impact of DHT on the scalp, helping you hold on to your precious strands longer.
2. Stimulates Hair Growth
The caffeine and polyphenols in green tea help stimulate blood flow to the scalp, which supports stronger, healthier hair growth over time.
3. Reduces Scalp Inflammation
Green tea has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that help calm irritation, reduce dandruff, and improve overall scalp health—creating the ideal environment for hair growth.
4. Strengthens Hair Follicles
The high level of vitamins B2 and E in green tea nourishes the scalp and strengthens hair follicles, helping to reduce breakage and promote thicker hair over time.
How to Do a Green Tea Rinse at Home
Here’s a simple way to incorporate a green tea rinse into your routine:
-
Brew 2–3 bags of green tea in hot water and allow it to cool.
-
After shampooing your hair (we recommend starting with our Intensive Moisture Shampoo), pour the green tea rinse directly onto your scalp and strands.
-
Massage it in gently and let it sit for 30 minutes.
-
Rinse thoroughly with cool water and follow with conditioner, rinse throughly and continue with styling routine.
Pro Tip: For a deeper scalp reset, pair this rinse with our ACV Detox Shampoo as the first step before the Intensive Moisture Shampoo then apply the Green Tea Rinse to scalp and hair.
