6 Incredible Tea Rinses That Promote Hair Growth
You sip on a delicious cup of tea to energise yourself in the morning or unwind in the evening. It helps you relax and soothe your mind and body. But, did you know that the same cup of tea can be the ultimate boost for your hair growth? We bet, you didn't.
Hair growth is a sensitive topic for many. All the trials and errors with different products and treatments can be rather disappointing. That is precisely the reason why many take the route of home remedies. And tea rinses have been used for thousands of years for treating different scalp and hair issues, and stimulating hair growth.
The Correct Order Of Applying Hair Products
To know about the tea rinses that are most beneficial for hair growth and how to use them, read on.

Green Tea Rinse
There is nothing like green tea to bring the shine, lustre and bounce back to your tresses. Green tea is extremely rich in antioxidants that prevent free radical damage and oxidative stress to nourish the scalp and strengthen the hair roots. EGCG, a powerful catechin found in green tea is extremely helpful for stimulating hair follicles and boosting hair growth.[1]
What you need
- 1-2 green tea bags
- 1 cup of boiling hot water
How to do
- Add the green tea bags in the cup of boiling hot water.
- Allow it to steep for about 5 minutes for the goodness of green tea to be infused in the water.
- Let the tea cool down to room temperature.
- Shampoo your hair and squeeze out the excess water.
- Rinse your scalp and hair with the green stewed earlier.
- Leave it on for 5-10 minutes before giving your hair a final rinse.

Black Tea
One of the main reasons for hair loss and stunted hair growth is a hormone called DHT(dihydrotestosterone). The caffeine present in black tea effectively stops DHT and thus gives an amazing boost to your hair follicles, resulting in hair growth.[2][3]
