Welcome to the latest issue of The Right Tea Newsletter!

With so many months in lockdown, not all of us have made it to the hair salon as regularly as before, either due to restrictions or to our own priorities. Meanwhile, your hair has grown and it is not looking as pretty or as healthy as before.

Sure, trimming or styling your hair at home may be possible, but there are other ways that you can help your hair to stay moisturized and nourished.

In this issue we will be looking at herbal teas that you can either drink or apply directly to your scalp and hair to slow down the damaging effects of time.

Let’s begin!

Top 5 Herbal Teas for Great Hair!

There are many herbal teas that are said to make your hair looking great, strong and growing fast. Many of these herbs often make it into your hair products in the form of extracts.

These are some teas that you may enjoy not drinking on a daily basis to keep your scalp and hair follicles healthy from the inside, but that you can also use as rinses to nourish your hair from the outside.

Chamomile

(anthemis nobilis and matricaria recutita)

You will find chamomile extracts in many hair products and this is because of the anti-inflammatory and soothing nature of this herb. As a tea it is said to help strengthen your hair and prevent unnecessary stress-related hair loss.

Chamomile tea is made from the leaves and daisy-like flowers of this herb. Often chosen for its calming and digestive nature, drinking this tea may also improve the health of your skin, by driving out toxins that cause infections or inflammations in skin tissue.

Applied topically to the scalp, a chamomile tea rinse may help you disinfect and scar any damaged skin as well as provide a soothing sensation, while preventing the occurrence of dandruff or other flaky skin issues.

As an added bonus, this herbal infusion may also help lighten your hair, so it’s best recommended for people with blond hair that wish bring highlights to their hair.

Horsetail

(equisetum arvense)

This grass native to the temperate regions of the world is greatly valued for its silica and calcium content. These two elements make this a brew that is said to help repair cell tissue internally and externally.

As an herbal tea taken internally, a horsetail infusion may deliver silica and calcium to your body all the way to the roots of your hair.

This nourishment may be at the source why this tea may help prevent hair loss in general and in particular during menopausal stages.

Additionally, you may use it as a rinse when you wash your hair, applying it while massaging the scalp to stimulate blood flow and reduce skin irritation, all the way down to the very tips in order to help moisturize each strand as well as stop ends from splitting as much.
