    Glossary Elastin

    protein enabling tissues to return to shape after stretching

    Elastin is a protein found in connective tissues that allows them to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. It is crucial for the elasticity and resilience of tissues like skin, blood vessels, and lungs. In the context of hair, elastin contributes to the flexibility and strength of the hair shaft, helping it withstand various physical stresses.
