Here's a heads up!

The benefits of green tea just keep pouring in. Besides protecting from heart disease and cancer, improving skin, fighting bad breath, and boosting metabolism, it appears that green tea may also improve the health and appearance of hair and scalp. Women of ancient Japan, recognized for shiny, healthy hair, were known to rinse their hair with green tea for its conditioning properties. Since green tea has been shown to reduce the signs of aging, it stands to reason that it may hold promise in maintaining the hair and scalp of your youth, and preliminary research has shown that green tea may, in fact, help to slow hair loss due to aging and environmental damage (but not genetics). Watkins Aloe & Green Tea Shampoo and Daily Conditioner offer the benefits of green tea, along with aloe and other natural botanicals to soothe and protect the hair and scalp, helping to maintain the hair of your youth—and that's nothing to brush off.
