HAIR ANALYSIS

Hair Structure Hair is composed of three parts: Medulla – central core (may be absent) Cuticle – outer coating composed of overlapping scales Cortex – protein-rich structure around the medulla that contains pigment

Cuticle The cuticle varies in: Its scales, How many there are per centimeter, How much they overlap, Their overall shape, and How much they protrude from the surface Its thickness, and Whether or not it contains pigment.

Cortex The cortex varies in: Thickness Texture Color

Medulla The medulla may vary in: Thickness Continuity - one continuous structure or broken into pieces Opacity - how much light is able to pass through it
