    GlossaryCysteine

    amino acid crucial for protein structure and hair strength

    Cysteine is an amino acid that plays a crucial role in the structure and function of proteins, including those in hair. It contains a sulfur atom, which allows it to form strong disulfide bonds, contributing to the strength and stability of hair keratin. This makes cysteine important for maintaining healthy hair and can be a focus in treatments for conditions like alopecia.
