Collagen runs the show, telling other cells what to do, which triggers the production and growth of new collagen fibers.
With its skin improving features, collagen not only reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles on our faces, it also strengthens the skin structure on the scalp, giving a stronger base for hair roots to form.
Imagine collagen cells looking like plump, juicy, micro-grapes surrounding a strand of hair. [Gross! but stay with us here]
Similar to how collagen plumps up our skin, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, the same concept applies to hair.
When collagen is abundant around the hair shaft, it becomes thicker. When it’s not, think of those grapes looking more like raisins causing hair to appear thin.
Plus, as an antioxidant, collagen protects hair from damage caused from free radicals like UV rays and pollutants. When defenseless, damage leads to hair turning dry and brittle, making it more prone to breakage. And it might be the reason why it seems hair isn’t growing past a certain length.
Also, collagen works to enhance hair’s natural shine by reducing frizz and split ends too. Kiss those bad hair days goodbye!
