Of late, people have espoused green tea and green tea shampoo to fight off hair loss.
Their beliefs are that tea contains antioxidants and vitamins, which can protect the scalp from infections as well as nourish the hair with vital nutrients. They propose drinking green tea regularly to have great hair.
It is believed that the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase is inhibited by the catechins that are found in abundance in green tea. A higher intake of green tea may then correlate to higher levels of sex hormone-binding protein - or globulin, which carries hormones like testosterone around the body in a bound, unusable form so that tissues cannot use it directly. Testosterone is usually carried around the body by this binding protein, therefore, reducing levels of free testosterone, so that it cannot be converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the hair follicle, which is thought to cause hair loss.
They believe too that the Green Tea Shampoo can be effective in the treatment of falling or thinning of hair by strengthening the scalp via nourishment with vitamins and moisturizing as well as deep cleaning the scalp of impurities, neutralizing the toxins and free radicals on the scalp. It can also help in the better blood circulation to the scalp.
