Collagen is an essential component of our hair, making up nearly 70% of its structure. It boosts hair health by providing strength, structure and elasticity.

As we age, the production of collagen in our bodies slows down. This can lead to a variety of hair problems such as thinning, breakage and loss of shine. By including collagen in your daily routine you replenish these levels to boost healthy hair growth.

Here are some of the ways in which collagen is beneficial for your hair:

Promotes Hair Growth: Collagen contains amino acids that are needed for the production of keratin. It is this protein that is the main component of strong and healthy hair.

Improves Hair Thickness: It improves hair thickness by increasing the diameter of individual strands for improved density and growth.

Prevents Hair Damage: As a natural antioxidant, collagen protects hair from environmental stressors such as UV radiation and pollution and reduces breakage.

Adds Shine and Lustre: It helps smooth the hair cuticle, which is the outer layer of the hair that reflects light. A smooth cuticle means shinier, healthier-looking hair.

Reduces Hair Loss: Collagen has also been shown to help reduce hair loss. A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found it led to a significant increase in density and a reduction in hair loss.

Luckily, I have created a range of hair products specially formulated with my high-strength collagen that can help you achieve that crowning glory you dream of! You can learn more about them my new Shampoo and Conditioner here.

I use marine collagen in my products because it is made up of Type I and Type III collagen. It is also an antioxidant and contains lots of vital amino acids. You can read more about its benefits in my blog post here.
