One of the world’s most beloved beverages may offer more than just a health boost—it could also help combat hair loss.
According to new research by a team of trichologists and nutritionists, green tea—consumed daily by millions for its energy-boosting and antioxidant properties—may play a significant role in protecting against hair thinning and baldness.
The study highlights green tea’s rich concentration of polyphenols, powerful antioxidants known for improving blood circulation in the scalp and reducing inflammation. These benefits collectively help strengthen hair follicles and slow down the progression of hair loss.
Researchers also found that green tea may reduce levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to androgenic alopecia—the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. Elevated DHT levels are known to shrink hair follicles, leading to progressive thinning and baldness.
Experts recommend consuming two to three cups of green tea daily to potentially see benefits for hair health. However, they caution that while green tea can be a helpful addition to a hair care routine, it is not a standalone solution. Optimal results are best achieved when combined with a balanced diet, good scalp hygiene, and overall healthy lifestyle practices.
Widely appreciated for its refreshing taste and wellness benefits, green tea may now earn a place in the hair care conversation as a natural, accessible way to support stronger, healthier hair.
