Everyone wants healthy hair and if you already have it, you want to keep it that way.
Now, some experts are looking at how your hair’s sense of smell can help hair flourish.
According to a study inNature Communications, your hair has a sense of smell.
Specifically, it’s one particular receptor.
“Olfactory receptor OR2AT4 has been shown to stimulate keratinocyte proliferation in the skin,” the study explains.
In addition, follicles tend to be in one of the stages in a dominant proportion.
However, hair is regularly compromised by ongoing bodily changes such as pregnancy, sickness, and stress.
“And so suddenly you’re getting clumps and clumps of hair and it’s very distressing.”
