Collagen vs Keratin for Hair

 Here's how collagen supplements benefit hair growth and health, unlike keratin:

- Helps build keratin: Collagen is rich in amino acids that your body uses to build keratin, the protein that makes up hair

- Antioxidant properties: Collagen can fight free radicals that damage hair follicles, which can prevent premature graying

- Maintains skin elasticity: Since hair grows out of your skin, collagen's ability to maintain skin elasticity may contribute to better hair growth and decreased thinning

- Hair growth: Collagen may promote hair growth, as it is found around the hair follicle

- Improves hair elasticity: Collagen can improve hair elasticity, making it less prone to damage and breakage

Keratin treatments or supplements can do the following for hair that collagen does not:

- Smooth the hair cuticle to reduce frizz and make hair easier to manage

- Strengthen hair and reduce breakage, which can make hair seem to grow faster

- Make curly hair less frizzy and easier to style

- Make hair appear shinier and glossier

- Temporarily bond together split ends

- Reduce the time it takes for hair to dry
