Collagen Hair Care

The effect of collagen on hair: The hair itself, like the skin, is also composed of collagen. When a hair is cut horizontally, under a microscope, it can be seen that the central layer is the hair marrow, the middle layer is collagen, and the outermost layer is hair scales. Collagen mainly controls the thickness, elasticity, and moisture of hair. Hairy scales are a very fragile tissue that will wear down when rubbed and heated, while the inner layer of collagen will be stimulated and decomposed. So to have a head of hair, it's not just superficial. Treating the symptoms also requires treating the root cause. The way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause is to supplement collagen.
1. The nutritional effect of collagen on hair: The life of hair originates from hair follicles. These cup-shaped hair follicles are formed before we are born, and their number remains fixed and does not increase or decrease with age. The nutrition of hair comes from hair follicle tissue. To make hair soft and tough, it is necessary to improve the nutrition of hair follicle tissue. Collagen can maintain the moisture and fiber structure integrity of the stratum corneum of the head skin, improve the living environment of hair follicle cells, promote the metabolism of new hair tissue, increase microcirculation, and achieve the goals of moisturizing the head skin, increasing hair elasticity, delaying hair aging, and reducing hair breakage, providing the most fundamental nutritional supplement to hair.
2. The repairing effect of collagen on hair: Due to the needs of beauty and hairdressing or work, people often blow, perm, and dye their hair, which will inevitably damage the collagen in the hair, causing hair to split, break, and even lose hair. Therefore, timely supplementation of collagen can provide sufficient nutrients for the scalp's subcutaneous tissue to regenerate and nourish hair, making damaged hair soft, shiny, and attractive.
3. The moisturizing effect of collagen on hair: The hair remains moist and smooth, making it less prone to drying and splitting. Collagen forms a protective film on the surface of the hair, which not only protects the hair but also locks in surface moisture, preventing it from aging and drying, thereby losing its softness, elasticity, and lubrication. Therefore, based on the structure of hair and the principle of self-protection, small molecule collagen (oligopeptides) and amino acids are added to cosmetics. Due to their good affinity with hair, they can penetrate into the epidermal layer of the head skin, playing a nutritional and natural moisturizing factor like role. Natural moisturizing factors are important substances for maintaining skin moisture and are excellent care factors for healthy hair.
In summary, the original protein can protect hair. Hair, like skin, is also composed of collagen. Collagen mainly controls the thickness, elasticity, and moisture of hair. Scales are a very fragile tissue that will wear and tear when rubbed and heated, while the collagen in the inner layer will be stimulated and decomposed. Lack of collagen results in dry and split hair, broken nails, and a dull and dull appearance.
