EGCG appeared to increase hair growth by stimulating hair follicles and preventing damage to the skin and hair cells.
What’s more, in a hair loss study in mice, researchers found that 33 percent of the animals who had consumed green tea extract experienced hair regrowth after six months, while no mice in the control group experienced improvement.
