Collagen for Hair Loss: How Gut Health, Drinkable Collagen & Dr. Ohhira Support Stronger, Thicker Hair

Dr. Ohhira at HairCareCyprus

The Science of Gut Health, Collagen & Hair Loss

Excessive hair loss, thinning, weakened structure, or slowed growth are often not solely the result of improper external care.

In many cases, they signal that the body is lacking key structural components — including collagen.

At HairCareCyprus, we believe in treating hair from the inside and the outside.
That’s why we are proud to introduce:

Dr. OHHIRA

A globally recognised brand combining advanced probiotic fermentation with drinkable collagen technology.

Because healthy hair starts internally.


Collagen for Hair – What Is It?

Hair collagen is not a separate “type” of collagen.

It refers to the role collagen plays in the structures responsible for hair growth and strength.

Collagen is the body’s primary structural protein.
It makes up approximately 30% of all proteins in the body and forms the framework of:

• Skin
• Blood vessels
• Tendons
• Connective tissue surrounding hair follicles

From a hair health perspective:

  • Hair follicles are embedded in the dermis — a collagen-rich layer.

  • Collagen affects scalp elasticity and blood supply.

  • Proper collagen levels stabilise the environment in which the hair bulb functions.

Natural collagen production begins to decline after age 25.
It decreases further due to:

• Oxidative stress
• Hormonal imbalance
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Chronic stress
• Fast-paced lifestyle

Collagen deficiency often shows up first in the hair.

How Collagen Works Biologically for Hair

Collagen supports hair on multiple levels.

First, it provides key amino acids:

• Glycine
• Proline
• Hydroxyproline

These are essential for the production of keratin — the main structural component of hair.

Collagen peptides also:

  • Support fibroblast activity in the scalp

  • Improve elasticity of tissues around hair follicles

  • Improve oxygenation and nutrient delivery

Collagen does not act superficially.

It improves the biological conditions in which hair grows.


Collagen for Hair Loss – What Happens?

Collagen is especially important in cases of non-scarring hair loss, such as:

• Telogen effluvium
• Post-stress shedding
• After illness
• Post pregnancy
• Hormonal fluctuations
• Rapid weight loss

Collagen supports:

  • Strengthening of hair follicle structure

  • Stabilisation of hair placement in the scalp

  • Tissue regeneration around the bulb

Clinical observations show that hydrolyzed collagen supplementation may reduce shedding after approximately 12 weeks, while improving hair fibre quality.


Collagen & The Hair Growth Cycle

Hair grows in three phases:

  1. Anagen (growth phase)

  2. Catagen (transition)

  3. Telogen (resting/shedding phase)

When collagen levels decline:

  • The growth phase shortens

  • The resting phase lengthens

  • Hair becomes finer

Collagen supplementation:

  • Supports extension of the anagen phase

  • Improves metabolic activity of the follicle

  • Improves nutrient access

Over time, this may lead to visible thickening and improved density.


Why Gut Health Is the Missing Link

Here is where most people go wrong.

You can take collagen.

But if your gut is inflamed or imbalanced, absorption may be compromised.

The gut controls:

• Iron absorption
• B vitamin levels
• Zinc metabolism
• Protein digestion
• Hormone balance

All are essential for hair growth.

Poor gut health = reduced nutrient delivery to follicles.

That is why we introduced Dr. Ohhira to HairCareCyprus.


Dr. Ohhira – A Multi-Level Approach

Dr. Ohhira formulas combine:

✔ Naturally fermented probiotics (3+ year fermentation process)
✔ Prebiotics and postbiotics
✔ Hydrolyzed collagen peptides
✔ Elastin for elasticity
✔ Hyaluronic acid for hydration
✔ Antioxidants for oxidative stress protection

This is not a single-ingredient supplement.

It is a structural support system for:

• Gut
• Skin
• Hair
• Nails


Drinkable Collagen – Why Form Matters

Drinkable collagen for hair in hydrolyzed peptide form has higher bioavailability.

Liquid collagen:

  • Enters the bloodstream faster

  • Requires less enzymatic breakdown

  • Allows higher effective dosing

Dr. Ohhira drinkable formulas combine collagen with synergistic ingredients that enhance absorption and effectiveness.


Fish vs Bovine Collagen – Which Is Better?

Both can support hair health.

Fish collagen:
• Lower molecular weight
• Typically better absorption

Bovine collagen:
• Contains types I and III
• Strong connective tissue support

The key factor is hydrolysis and formula quality — not just the source.


How Long Does Collagen Take to Work?

Hair biology requires patience.

Time Frame Most Observed Effects
6–8 weeks Improved shine & elasticity
3 months Reduced shedding
4–6 months Improved density & strength

Consistency is essential.


Who Should Consider Collagen Support?

Collagen supplementation may be particularly beneficial for:

• Women 25–30+
• Post pregnancy
• Perimenopause & menopause
• Chronic stress
• Digestive discomfort
• Noticeable hair thinning


How to Use Collagen Correctly

For best results:

• Take daily
• Maintain correct dosage
• Stay hydrated
• Support vitamin C intake
• Address gut health simultaneously

Inside + Outside strategy always works best.

At HairCareCyprus, we combine:

Professional scalp care
Correct homecare
Targeted supplementation
Gut support

Because hair health is holistic.
