1. Provides raw material for your hair
Your luscious locks are made up of a protein called keratin. Now, keratin is built out of amino acids which come from various kinds of protein. Collagen provides three main amino acids and one is the primary component in keratin and your hair follicles.
2. Its antioxidants fight free radicals
Research shows that free radicals actually damage your hair strands and follicles. That means that taking in more antioxidants can help fight hair damage from the inside out. Some studies have shown that the free radicals in collagen are especially potent for fighting against free radicals.
3. Helps the skin which may help your follicles
Your hair follicles are embedded in your skin. Duh. But there is some research that implies helping your skin can also help the hair growing from it. This means that, since collagen, is also 70% of the material in your skin, that healthier dermis is also likely to help your hair.
