On the effect of glycolic acid on hair growth
Modern theory and the method of hair nourishment, the theory of glycolic acid is gradually emerging. However, what is the benefit of it in hair growth should be discussed in detail.
Glycolic acid belongs to the group of fruit acids, and its molecules are slender and can penetrate into the skin smoothly. The birth of hair originates from hair follicles, and the skin state around the hair follicles is crucial to hair growth. Glycolic acid can soften the keratin, remove its accumulation, and make the mouth of the hair follicle unobstructed to prevent it from being keratin congestion. If the hair follicles are blocked, the hair growth will be blocked, just like the good seeds are sown in the hard soil, and it is difficult to germinate new greens. Glycolic acid smooths the hair follicles, just like loosening the soil and fertilizing, paving the way for hair regeneration.
And glycolic acid can promote the microcirculation of the skin. If qi and blood flow smoothly, nutrients can easily reach the hair follicles. The growth of hair requires all kinds of nutrients, such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, etc., which are carried by the blood. Glycolic acid accelerates the blood flow, nourishes the hair follicles in time, and the hair receives sufficient food, so that it naturally thrives.
Furthermore, glycolic acid has the function of promoting cell metabolism. Hair follicle cells are constantly renewed, and the generation of new cells and the metabolism of old cells are orderly, so that hair can grow normally. Glycolic acid can stimulate cell activity, make the metabolism of hair follicle cells smooth, and the growth cycle of hair is also stable, or it can increase the period of vigorous growth and shorten the period of rest.
However, although glycolic acid has great potential for hair growth, it should be used with caution. It is acidic to a certain extent. If the concentration is too high or used improperly, it is easy to cause skin discomfort, such as redness, tingling, desquamation, etc. Therefore, those who use it should try it on a small area of skin first, observe its reaction, and then determine the usage and dosage.
In short, glycolic acid may be beneficial for hair growth. Those who use it should be aware of its properties and know its methods in order to use its power to promote hair growth. It must not be abused blindly.
