About Hair
Hair grows from the follicle found in the dermis. The hair can be divided into two parts, the root and shaft.The root part of hair is in the skin(epidermis) of Scalp. A pouch like structure called follicle surrounds the hair root.Hair is composed of primarily 88% of proteins. Hair grows in various phases Catagen, Anagen and telogen.. In people with healthy hair about 85% of hairs are in the anagen, 1% in the catagen, and 14% in the telogen phases at any given time.Healthy hair structure is characterized by the cuticle closely surrounding the cortex. The closer it surrounds the cortex, the better the hair is protected from harmful external influences. This picture shows an electron microscopic scan of a healthy hair.
