Green tea for Hair:

Green tea is useful in growth of hair follicles because it contains a high content of catechins, which converts testosterone to the hormone 'Dihydrotestosterone' DHT. This hormone causes the short life of the hair. The green tea increases the rate of blood flow to the scalp, thus increasing rates of nutrition received by the hair and scalp, which helps greatly in preventing hair loss, and contains vitamin E, vitamin C, known to their capacities to stimulate hair growth.
