Drinking 1 to 3 cups of green tea a day will do wonders for your natural hair and skin!
There are potent compounds found in green tea that contain high levels of antioxidants. These antioxidants are important tools in slowing down cell decay, letting new cells play catch-up by regenerating into new ones.
This means drinking green tea everyday can slow down hair thinning. This allows new hair to grow. There’s no particular brand I recommend, but just try and stay away from green tea that is artificial. If you must sweeten it, add a little maple syrup or agave instead of sugar.

Green tea is good for everything! Love it. But how can you tell if it’s artificial? Should the ingredients just say “green tea”?

@Jennifer, I love it too! It gives me a refreshing feeling – complete opposite of what coffee does to me. Thanks for writing!

@Yvette, anything that says green tea as the main ingredient should be authentic. Some energy or bottled drinks have green tea in them, but it isn’t the main ingredient. I hope this helps? Thanks for the excellent question!
