With black tea, healthy and shiny hair

Is there anything better than a hot cup of black tea in the morning to wake up with the right spirit? Compared to other types of tea, it stands out for his rich concentration of caffeine, making it a stimulating and energetic drink. But this isn’t the only benefit.

The properties

In addition to the high caffeine concentration, the black tea is also rich in antioxidant substances and astringent properties. While the first one act against the cellular ageing, the second ones can slow down the progression of a flu.

The benefits

Few people know the beneficial action of the black tea on the hair. The high quantity of caffeine turns out to be the best solution to lower the DHT level, an hormone that is able to make hair fall out. The antioxidants defend the general health of the hair, while the diverse minerals act directly at the roots.

To get a stronger, glossier and softer hair, try to rinse it with black tea infusion after washing it. Otherwise you can use it as an ingredient of your DIY hair mask.

Our choice

Meridiani Atelier selected two types of black tea. The Darjeeling is a famous Indian black tea rich in polyphenols, which have a beneficial action on the hair, making it glossier. You can choose between two types: the classic Darjeeling (also as teabags) or the BIO version.

Otherwise, we recommend Canadian Horizon: the pecans are rich in vitamin B5, so they are a good natural support to the wellness of the hair.
