Discover the benefits of green tea in our customizable hair care products.
The origin of green tea
The tea plant camellia sinensis can be traced back to Ancient China. Similarly to black tea, green tea is made from the leaves of the tea plant – the difference lies in the processing. While black tea leaves are fermented after harvesting, green tea is heated immediately after harvesting and then dried. This process deactivates the phenol oxidase enzyme, which is responsible for fermentation, and ensures that the antioxidants contained in the tea leaves are preserved. The medical power of green tea is said to have been discovered over 5,000 years ago in ancient China.
Shampoo with green tea: Restore your hair's natural color
Studies have indicated that green tea has an anti-aging effect, which can primarily be attributed to the secondary plant compounds found within that protect the body's cells from free radicals. Free radicals are by-products of oxidative metabolism that contain oxygen and trigger a chain reaction in the body referred to as oxidative stress. They are caused by UV rays and pollutants that we absorb from the air, food or other sources, among other causes. Free radicals can also be produced by the body itself as a result of age and stress.
One of the ways oxidative stress becomes apparent is through the premature graying of hair. If you've found yourself noticing more grays each time you look in the mirror and want to restore your hair’s natural color, a shampoo and conditioner with green tea may hold all the answers to your hair worries. A formula containing green tea increases the body's production of melanin – the pigments responsible for your hair's original color. Your scalp can benefit from the inclusion of green tea in shampoo and conditioner thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and soothing properties. It also effectively combats dandruff, among other issues.
Insider tip: Treat your hair to a deep cleanse with detox hair care products to bid farewell to residues that lead to oxidative stress.
