Use of Silicon for Skin and Hair Care: An Approach to Chemical Forms Available and Efficacy

Collagen, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and MSM are used to improve hair appearance, making it fuller, thicker, and shinier. The user noticed significant hair improvement after resuming these supplements.

Collagen supplements, often combined with L-cysteine, are reported to thicken hair but are not sufficient for preventing hair loss. Users also mention using other treatments like minoxidil, Nizoral, and dermarolling for hair regrowth.

A user asked if collagen or hair growth supplements made their hair thicker. Another user suggested that Vitamin D might help if deficient.

OP uses multivitamins, collagen, biotin, keratin, omega-3, satin bonnet, dandruff shampoo, oil moisturizer, and sun exposure for hair care. Users suggest adding antioxidants, probiotics, pumpkin seed oil, vitamin D, iron, and dermastamping.

The user reports that MSM supplementation has thickened their hair strands while using finasteride and topical minoxidil. They also take zinc, copper, B-complex, vitamin C, vitamin D3, and K2, and plan to add omega-3, magnesium, astaxanthin, and pterostilbene.

Collagen peptides are recommended for hair and skin benefits, with users noting improvements in hair and skin health. However, evidence on their effectiveness for hair growth is inconclusive.
