In this article you will learn, Why collagen is key to hair health, how it works, which form to choose, and why collagen might be the missing piece in your beauty routine.
Why is collagen important for hair?
Collagen isn't just for glowing skin – it also plays an important role in strengthening hair follicles, promoting growth and preventing breakage(3*) It acts as an internal building material that supports the hair structure and contributes to better elasticity and shine.
– thinning and hair breakage,
– dryness and loss of shine,
– slower growth and lower density. (1*)
How does collagen work on hair?
1. Nourishes hair follicles with essential amino acids
Collagen – especially marine collagen (of fish origin) – contains a high concentration glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, key amino acids for the formation keratin, the main protein in hair. (3*)
More collagen = more building material for strong and thick hair.
2. Reduces hair loss and thinning
One of the main benefits of taking collagen is that strengthens hair structure and reduces hair loss. When the hair follicle is well nourished, it is easier to keep the hair in the growth phase (anagen phase), which means less hair loss and more new hair. (1*)
3. Improves blood circulation to the scalp
Collagen promotes circulation in the skin, including the scalp. Better blood circulation means more nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles – which directly affects hair growth and strength. (3*)
4. Supports hair hydration and elasticity
Inside the body, collagen functions as natural moisturizer, as it retains water and maintains optimal humidity. The result? Less breakage, more flexibility and natural shine hair (2*)
Which collagen to choose for hair?
Marine collagen (e.g. Naticol® or other proven forms) is derived from fish and is known for its high bioavailability – which means it is quickly and effectively absorbed into the body. Due to its fine structure, it is ideal for those who want to improve hair, skin and nail health. (3*)
