Hair Condition
Description
This topic outlines the factors that influence the structural integrity of the Hair.
These Substances may Improve Hair Condition
Amino Acids
Methionine (ingested orally) may improve Hair Condition (due to the Sulfur content of the Methionine molecule). [1]
Minerals
Selenium (ingested orally) may improve Hair Condition. [2]
Silicon (especially the colloidal Silica form of Silicon applied topically or administered orally) may improve the condition of the Hair. [3]
Sulfur is an essential component of the Hair.
Vitamins
Inositol (ingested orally) may improve Hair Condition (this has been demonstrated in animals but has not yet been proven in humans).
The Dexpanthenol (Panthenol) form of Vitamin B5 (applied topically via shampoo products) is a small enough molecule to actually penetrate into the Haircortex where it bonds to the building blocks of the Hair and may strengthen the Hair by 20%.
Vitamin E is claimed to be responsible for the "silky" feel and appearance of healthy Hair.
