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

    Thank you for the informative article! It's excellent to learn about the benefits of collagen and keratin for hair health. I find it interesting how collagen helps build keratin and protects hair follicles, while keratin treatments manage frizz and strengthen hair. Also, it's crucial to incorporate a biotin supplement into your routine. With biotin for hair growth becomes more manageable because it supports keratin production and promotes healthier hair. Some can come in gummy form. Combining biotin with collagen or keratin could offer comprehensive benefits for achieving healthier, stronger hair.

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.
