The environment is filled with noxious free radicals, which cause immense harm to the cells of the body, cause diseases and accelerate ageing. Free radicals trigger large chain chemical reactions in the body because they react quickly with other molecules. These reactions cause oxidation in the body. Here’s where antioxidants help! Antioxidants donate an electron to a free radical without becoming unstable. The spare electron given by the antioxidants to the free radicals neutralizes them.
The free radicals cause excessive damage to the cells in the hair follicles, fatty tissue, lipids, and protein, all of which are major building blocks for the hair.
