So i’ve been reading that green tea increases your testosterone levels, and lowers your estrogen levels. But black tea decreases testosterone levels and increases your estrogen levels.
Is this true?
Because if this were true, wouldn’t drinking green tea cause hair loss? Because high testosterone causes male pattern hair loss on women right? Meanwhile, higher estrogen levels cause thicker hair on women right?
Actually now that i think about it, if green tea increases testosterone it would do a lot of bad things…..
-cause acne
-oil skin
-hair loss
so does drinking too much of it do this?
Lol well i know it sounds bad. But i was thinking about it, and i drink a lot of green tea and i have oily skin and I’m prone to breakouts. So i was kind of just putting the 2 and 2 together. I just want to make sure that in the long run I’m not going to ruin my hair because of drinking green tea, when really i could just switch to black tea.
I never really thought about sugar before. I use honey so i didn’t think it matters because honey is natural. Well i probably drink anywhere from 5 to 10 cups a day, and for each cup i have a teaspoon of honey.

I have just read an interesting answer that DHT (testosterone) is responsible for hair loss because it blocks the hair follicles thus stopping hair from growing/choking off the follicles. Well i'm a 22 year old female experiencing some hair loss after having my son almost 2 years ago. I realize that at first it's normal to have excessive hair loss after the birth of a child because of all the hormones but it has not returned to my pre pregnancy state. My hair extremely thin and my scalp is even visible.
My question is how can i eliminate testosterone from my body and when i do will that prevent hair loss or restore the hair that i have lost? Does increasing estrogen mean decreasing testosterone and if it does how can i increase estrogen? Which is easier. Someone mentioned on here that Oat grass will help lower testosterone levels?
i'd really like my thick healthy hair again as opposed to being half bald and having thin disgusting damaged hair at just 22.
