Peptides have gained popularity for their ability to improve hair growth by strengthening hair follicles and enhancing scalp health. Here’s how these small proteins support healthier, thicker hair.
STRENGTHEN HAIR FOLLICLES
Peptides, which are chains of amino acids, encourage hair follicles to be more healthy and grow more strongly by strengthening the structure of the hair and decreasing breakage.
IMPROVE SCALP HEALTH
Peptides help to keep the scalp healthy by decreasing inflammation and increasing blood flow, and a healthy scalp is the best possible situation for hair to grow in.
INCREASE COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
Peptides stimulate collagen, which in turn makes the hair shaft stronger and more flexible, meaning less hair thinning and breakage.
REDUCE HAIR LOSS
Some peptides actually inhibit DHT, the hormone that causes hair loss, so it would help to prevent excessive shedding and keep a more dense head of hair over time.
HAIR MOISTURE
Peptides to lock in the moisture and feed the hair from the root to the tip shinier healthier hair.
REPAIR DAMAGED HAIR
Peptides are known to help repair damaged hair fibers by stimulating cell renewal, resulting in hair that is stronger and better able to withstand environmental stresses and chemical processing.
STUDY
A study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) highlights the positive effects of peptides in promoting hair growth and improving follicular strength, aligning with these benefits.
CONCLUSION
Consistent use of peptides can lead to visibly thicker hair and improved volume, giving you a fuller, healthier look. Consult a trichologist for personalised advice.
