The maintenance effect of oat peptides on hair mainly comes from their rich nutritional components and biological activity, which can improve hair health from multiple dimensions. The following are the specific functions and principles:
1、 Supplementing nutrition and promoting hair growth
Amino acid supply: Oat peptides contain various essential amino acids (such as lysine, cysteine, etc.), which are the basic raw materials for making hair keratin. Lysine can promote collagen synthesis and provide nutritional support for hair follicles; Cysteine participates in the formation of hair sulfur proteins, enhances hair toughness, and reduces breakage.
Mineral synergy: Minerals such as calcium, iron, and zinc can improve hair follicle blood circulation. For example, iron can prevent hair loss caused by iron deficiency anemia, while zinc can regulate sebaceous gland secretion to avoid oil blocking hair follicles and affecting hair growth.
2、 Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, protecting the hair follicle environment
Clearing free radicals: The antioxidant components in oat peptides, such as glutathione and polyphenols, can reduce the damage of free radicals to hair follicle cells, delay hair follicle aging, and maintain healthy hair follicle activity.
Inhibiting inflammatory response: Its anti-inflammatory ingredients (such as oat amide) can reduce the levels of inflammatory factors (such as IL-6, TNF – α) around hair follicles, improve seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis, and reduce hair loss caused by inflammation.
3、 Regulate oil secretion and improve scalp environment
Balance water and oil: β – glucan in oat peptides can form a moisturizing film on the scalp surface, regulating sebaceous gland secretion. For oily scalp, it can reduce excessive oil secretion and avoid hair follicle blockage; For dry scalp, it can lock in moisture, prevent scalp dryness and flaking, and create a suitable environment for hair growth.
4、 Enhance hair toughness and shine
Repair hair scales: Oat peptide small molecules are easily absorbed by hair and can penetrate into the hair cortex to replenish lost protein, repair damaged hair scales, reduce hair splitting and frizz, and make hair smoother.
Enhance glossiness: Amino acids and vitamins (such as vitamin E) can improve hair pigmentation, delay the formation of white hair, and enhance the hair’s ability to reflect light, making it more shiny.
5、 Delaying hair loss and promoting healthy hair follicles
Activation of hair follicle cells: Bioactive substances in oat peptides, such as growth factor analogues, can stimulate the proliferation of dermal papilla cells in hair follicles, prolong the hair growth cycle (growth phase), shorten the resting phase, thereby reducing hair loss and promoting new hair regeneration.
6、 Application scenarios and product forms
Care products: Oat peptides are often added to shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks, and can be directly applied to the scalp and hair through external use. Some anti hair loss shampoos use their anti-inflammatory and nutritional properties to improve hair loss.
Oral supplements: As a health supplement ingredient (such as capsules, tablets), they provide nutrition to hair follicles through oral administration and are suitable for hair quality problems caused by malnutrition or metabolic issues.
precautions
The effect of oat peptides on hair requires long-term use to become apparent, and the effect varies from person to person. -If there is a serious hair loss disease (such as alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia), medical treatment should be combined, and oat peptides are only used as an auxiliary maintenance method. In summary, oat peptides improve hair health from the root through multiple mechanisms such as nutrient supply, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regulation of scalp environment. They are particularly suitable for hair quality problems caused by nutritional deficiencies, oxidative damage, or scalp inflammation.
