Trichology


✓ -:- The scientific study of hair, its diseases, and care.




Shaft


✓ -:- The portion of the hair that projects above the skin. The three main layers of the

hair shaft are the cuticle, cortex, and the medulla.




Cuticle


✓ -:- The outermost layer of the hair. It consists of a single, overlapping layer of

transparent, scale-like cells that overlap like shingles on a roof.




Cortex


✓ -:- The middle layer of the hair. It's a fibrous protein core formed by elongated cells

containing the melanin pigment. About 90% of the total weight of hair comes from

the cortex.

✓ -:- The innermost layer, sometimes referred to as the pith of the hair. It's

composed of round cells, and it is common for very fine and naturally blonde hair to

entirely lack a medulla.




Root


✓ -:- The part of the hair located below the surface of the scalp. The main structures

of the hair root are the follicle, bulb, papilla, arrector pili muscle, and sebaceous

glands.




Follicle


✓ -:- The tube like depression or pocket in the skin or scalp that contains the hair

root. Hair follicles are distributed all over the body, except for the hands and the

soles of the feet.




Hair Bulb


✓ -:- The lower area or part of a hair strand. It's the thickened, club-shaped structure

that forms the lower part of the hair root.




Dermal Papilla

✓ -:- A small, cone-shaped elevation located at the base of the hair follicle that fits

into the hair bulb.The dermal papilla contains the blood and nerve supply that

provides the nutrients needed for hair growth.




Arrector Pili


✓ -:- A minute, involuntary muscle fiber in the skin inserted in the base of the hair

follicle. Fear or cold causes it to contract, which makes the hair stand up straight,

resulting in "goose bumps".




Sebaceous Glands


✓ -:- The oil glands of the skin, connected to the hair follicles. The sebaceous glands

secrete an oily like substance called sebum, which lubricates the hair and the skin.




COHNS


✓ -:- Hair is exactly 91% protein. The protein it made up of long chains of amino

acids, which, in turn, are made up of elements. These elements are carbon (51%),

oxygen (21%), hydrogen (6%), nitrogen (17%), and sulfur (5%).
