Green tea extract is well-known for its antioxidant properties and has become popular in various health and beauty products. In terms of hair care, green tea extract provides several potential benefits:

Green tea extract, containing catechins like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), can inhibit 5-alpha-reductase activity. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), linked to hair loss. By lowering DHT levels, green tea extract may aid in promoting hair growth and preventing thinning.Hair Growth Promotion: Green tea extract, containing catechins like epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), can inhibit 5-alpha-reductase activity. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), linked to hair loss. By lowering DHT levels, green tea extract may aid in promoting hair growth and preventing thinning.

‍Strengthening Hair Follicles: The antioxidants in green tea extract safeguard hair follicles from free radical damage, strengthening them to reduce breakage and encourage healthier hair growth.

‍Scalp Health Improvement: With anti-inflammatory properties, green tea extract can soothe the scalp, lessening irritation, itching, and dandruff. A healthier scalp environment supports optimal hair growth and overall hair health.

‍Enhancing Shine and Texture: Green tea extract's vitamins and minerals nourish the hair, enhancing texture for softer, smoother hair with increased shine and manageability.

‍Excess Oil Reduction: Green tea extract's astringent properties can help regulate scalp sebum production, preventing greasy hair, dandruff, and follicle-clogging that may hinder hair growth.

‍Damage Protection: The polyphenols in green tea extract shield hair from UV radiation and environmental pollutants, maintaining hair integrity to prevent dryness, brittleness, and split ends.

Incorporating green tea extract into your hair care regimen can promote healthier, stronger hair growth, support scalp health, and guard against environmental damage. Whether in shampoos, conditioners, or topical treatments, green tea extract provides a natural and effective solution for enhancing hair health.

Green Tea is safe to use at the recommended levels.
