Green tea has been known for its ability to enhance health and lose weight. This natural anti-oxidant rich plant has lots of advantages for us. There are always new researches to find new advantages of green tea. Now the research on green tea has spread to the science branch of skin and hair. Now experts are researching on green tea for anti hair loss. Some of the results they found are that consuming green tea can aid to stop hair loss. The chemical in green tea, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), is being studied by Korean scientists for the effects on hair follicles. Both Saitama Cancer Center Research Institute in Japan and Seoul National University College of Medicine found proof that EGCG enhances anti hair loss. The Saitama experts stated that green tea reduces the body to make Tumor Necrosis Factor which has connection to cancer, arthritis, and hair loss.
Human volunteers have been tested by giving green tea with 10 percent EGCG deeply to the scalp, and great results were found. The more we consume green tea to our body, the more we have SHBG (six hormone binding globulin) which is a protein that joins to testosterone. If the testosterone circulates in our bloodstream by itself, when it meets the hair follicle, it can change the hair follicle to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), causing to male pattern hair loss. But if the testosterone is combined with SHBG, any changes into DHT will be prevented. Other research also found that green tea can cure scalp conditions like dandruff problems and psoriasis by giving a soothing sensation to the scalp.
It is recommended to use shampoo or hair products that contain EGCG green tea extract. Green tea also contains vitamin C, vitamin E and penthanol which are usually found in conditioners. A provitamin called panthenol can strengthen your hair and make it softer. Zenagen is one of the shampoos that contains green tea in its ingredients and can aid in anti hair loss.
