Hair Benefits Of Green Tea, May Help Hair Loss

There is growing interest in the effectiveness of green tea (Camellia Ainensis) stopping hair loss. This natural hair loss fighting treatment is found in increasingly popular drinks and is packed with antioxidants to fight harmful free radicals, provide cancer-fighting flavonoids and disrupt the production of bacteria. These same antioxidants also benefit from the hair and scalp in several ways. Integration of green tea in your diet can help control or prevent hair loss. One of the most powerful antioxidants in green tea is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Studies conducted by the Saitama Cancer Center Research Institute in Japan and Seoul National University College of Medicine both evidence that EGCG stimulates hair growth. The Saitama study reports that green tea inhibits the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a molecule that is linked to cancer, arthritis and hair loss. In Seoul study hair follicles were treated with EGCG in a lab environment. Test cultures showed increased hair growth and hair follicle elongation compared with control cultures.

A green tea of 10 percent EGCG was also applied to the scalp of humans volunteers, Same results. A high intake of green tea leads to higher levels of six hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), a protein that binds to testosterone. Free testosterone travels through the bloodstream is able to come and hair follicles are converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes male pattern hair loss. But testosterone that is bound to SHBG can not be converted into DHT.Research also suggests that green tea can help with scalp conditions like dandruff and psoriasis by soothing skin and reducing inflammation.

Using a hair loss shampoo that contains green tea may have benefit for hair loss. Using green tea or green tea rinse after washing can help reduce scalp irritation. Green tea contains vitamin C, vitamin E and panthenol, which are all common ingredients in conditioner. Vitamin E restores dry or damaged hair, while vitamin C protects against damage by UV radiation. Panthenol, a provitamin, softens and strengthens hair and prevents split ends.

is there any relation between xenical ( orlistat ) for diet and hair loss?

is there any relation between xenical ( orlistat ) for diet and hair loss??

yes! there can be relation…but only in rare cases!

anyway as we know hair loss can be caused by many different reasons! There are many causes of loss of hair such as stress, poor nutrition ,medications, thyroid dysfunctions, illness, fungal infections ,hormonal problems, to mention a few.

year ago I suffered very much from dandruff and hair loss too and I started trying everything you can imagine to stop my hair loss.
the things that really worked for me was:

1) Vitamin A – an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;

2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The ‘B’ vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;

3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;

4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);

5) also I used herbal treatment – Provillus (do not use Rogaine – it will not work!)
It is a good products that helps prevent hair loss and contains Biotin and the clinically tested ingredients approved by the FDA to help re-grow your hair.! I think it is very important!

It worked and still works for me!

I do not know if any pharmacies carry Provillus but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.provillus.com/?aid=221781

It enhances hair growth by blocking DHT (Dihydrotestostrone) – a major cause of hair loss!
