Matcha isn’t just for wellness influencers anymore — it’s become a go-to for men who want a cleaner energy boost without the coffee crash. But recently, social media has been buzzing with one big question: can matcha cause hair loss in men?

Here’s what the science says, and how Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) at Skalp® can help you regain confidence if you’re noticing thinning or hairline changes.

Does Matcha Really Cause Hair Loss?

The short answer: not directly.
There’s no clinical evidence showing that matcha causes hair loss. In fact, matcha is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols that reduce inflammation and protect hair follicle cells.

However, tannins and catechins in matcha can inhibit iron absorption when consumed in large amounts or with meals. Iron supports oxygen delivery to your hair follicles, so low iron levels can sometimes lead to shedding or slow regrowth.

f you’re already low in iron — common among men who eat little or no red meat — and you drink matcha several times daily, it might contribute slightly. But moderate use (1–2 cups per day) is safe for most men.

When to Watch Your Matcha Intake

You might need to adjust your routine if:

  • You drink multiple cups of matcha per day.
  • You’re vegan or vegetarian.
  • You notice fatigue, brittle nails, or shedding.
  • You work out heavily and lose iron through sweat.

💡 Tip: Enjoy matcha between meals, not with them, and pair iron-rich foods with vitamin C to boost absorption.

Hair Thinning Happens — Here’s How to Take Control

Even with perfect nutrition, most men notice hair thinning or receding hairlines at some point. Genetics, hormones, and stress all play a role — but you have modern options.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a proven, non-surgical treatment that restores the look of fuller hair.

At Skalp®, our experienced technicians use ultra-fine needles to deposit natural pigment into the scalp, mimicking real hair follicles. The result? A clean, natural, masculine look that instantly restores confidence.

SMP can help you:

  • Recreate a sharp, natural hairline
  • Add density to thinning areas
  • Achieve a permanent buzz-cut style
  • Camouflage scars or transplant marks
  • Feel confident every day

Unlike transplants, SMP involves no surgery, no downtime, and no scarring, with results that last for years.

Matcha and Hair Health Can Coexist

Matcha isn’t the enemy — it’s a healthy drink when enjoyed in moderation. Just keep your iron levels in check and care for your scalp.

If you’re already experiencing thinning, Scalp Micropigmentation offers a natural-looking solution that instantly restores your appearance and confidence.
