Every day you see people with all color and style of hair. But did you know that you have a hair type? Yes! Not all hair has been created the same. Lets start with the basic structure of hair: 1) Hair grows from the follicle, which is long and bulbous. If you were to take a lock of hair you would see the bulge at the tip of the hair. The cells at the base of the follicle divide rapidly and is where you get your hair growth. 2) Each strand consists of three layers, the first is the innermost layer called the medulla.

This is present only occasionally thick hair. 3) The middle layer is known as the cerebral cortex. This layer provides strength, color and texture of your hair. The outer layer of most of the 4) is called the cuticle, and this is what protects the cortex. It is completely colorless. 5) The entire chapter of hair is composed of a protein called keratin.
