'I can't recommend enough!' Achieve 'gorgeous, healthy-looking hair' with a vital supplement

Collagen is naturally found in the body but starts to decline with age. It is the building block for healthy skin, bones and hair.

A hair expert said it should not be skipped if trying to "maintain such gorgeous, healthy-looking hair".

Celebrity hairstylist Jason Collier said: "It’s not just about the products you apply topically, but about what you’re feeding your hair from the inside. That's why I can't recommend collagen supplementation enough.

"Collagen is a protein that’s found naturally in our bodies, making up a significant part of our skin, hair, nails and connective tissues. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to weaker, thinner hair that is more prone to damage.

"Collagen supplements are easily absorbed by the body. This means it can get to work faster, delivering those essential amino acids directly to where they’re needed most - your hair follicles.

"My favourite is the Proto-col Marine Beauty Collagen, which comes as a gel and can be taken straight from the pack or added to water or a smoothie."

There are seemingly endless benefits of collagen for the hair, including enhancing shine and elasticity, reducing hair shedding and faster hair growth.

Another huge benefit of taking the supplement is that it helps to improve the strength and thickness of hair, according to the expert.

Jason added: "One of the first things my clients notice after incorporating liquid collagen into their routine is an increase in hair strength and thickness.

"The amino acids in collagen, particularly proline and glycine, are vital for keratin production - the protein that makes up your hair.

"By boosting your collagen levels, you’re effectively giving your body the building blocks it needs to create stronger, more damage-proof hair."

For your healthiest barnet, Jason recommended combining the supplement with a good hair care routine.

This means finding the best products for your hair type, cutting back on over-styling with heated items and regularly going for a haircut.

The expert concluded: "While collagen is a powerful addition to your daily haircare routine, it’s most effective when combined with a 360 hair care regime.

"I recommend high-quality, sulphate-free shampoos and conditioners, minimising the usage of hot tools, and getting regular trims to keep your hair in the best possible condition."
