Did you know that every individual, on an average, has around 100,000 hairs on a healthy scalp? Every hair strand is made up of three layers; there is cuticle as the outermost layer, which also acts as protective layer for the two inner layers.
Signs of healthy hairs
If your hairs are glossy, then it is sign that your hairs are healthy. This is so because the outermost layer cuticle is lying flat and reflects the light making them appear shiny and glossy. With scales of cuticle lying flat, they are overlapped tightly; and this protects the inner two layers from damages from sun, heat, or other hazards.
What happens when hairs are damaged? The damage in hairs causes the scales to separate or fall lose apart; thus, the inner layers are also not so well protected, and hairs become dry. This may make hairs fragile and dull looking.
