Will collagen supplements boost my hair?

TAKING collagen supplements is said to improve and care for our skin, but trichologist eva Proudman says they can boost hair health, too.

‘for fuller, stronger and healthier hair, taking collagen supplements is a great place to start,’ she says. ‘Collagen is vital for overall hair health as it contains essential amino acids that build up keratin [a protein that makes up the hair]. Collagen will improve hair texture and condition, making it feel stronger and healthier, and help to decrease hair loss and calm scalp irritation.’
