Healthy Hair Stylist

Every day we see people with all color and style hair. But did you know that you have a hair type? Yes! Not all hair has been created the same.

Start with the basic structure of hair:

1) Hair grows from follicles, which is long and bulbous. If you were to release a lock of hair, you would see the bulge in his eyebrow. The cells at the base of the follicle divide rapidly and where you get your hair growth.

2) Each hair consists of three layers, the first being the innermost layer called the medulla. It is this that if in thick hair though.

3) The middle layer is known as the cortex. This layer provides strength, color and texture of your hair.

4) The outermost layer is called the cuticle and this is what protects the cortex. It is completely colorless.

5) The lock of hair consists of a protein called keratin. And this is hair!

There are 2 basic types of hair:

1) Body Hair is the hair that grows thick and long, and lies on the head, armpits, face pubic hair and breast. (Face and chest on men)

2) soft downy hair is shorter than you find on the rest of your body.

The type of hair you have seems to do with geography.

1) If you are of Asian descent, and hair pieces are round and thicker than all other types of hair. With the exception of the red head who has the thickest hair of all.

2) If you are of European descent, with blonde hair or brown, then your hair strands are thinner. The strands are round to oval.

3) If you are of African origin, and locks of hair are flat and that’s why the frizz and curl.

It is interesting to see when you get a mix of Asian genes with genes of African or Caucasian with African. I am a white girl with blond hair, frizzy curls. My parents came from Holland where there are large concentrations of people of African descent. So it is not difficult to see where I got my hair type, I like personally. It is a factor in hair

Thus, you can now understand why your hair is like that. You just need to do some research into your family tree and there you will get it.
