DML - Why is antioxidant protection important for healthy hair and follicles?

Antioxidant protection is a key way to protect the scalp and hair from oxidative damage. Exposure to sun, pollution, smoking or other environmental toxins can increase oxidative stress, which can damage hair follicles and lead to premature aging of hair.[i] By helping to neutralize this harmful oxidative stress, antioxidants protect hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth.
