Caucasian and Mediterranean hair differ morphologically from African and Asian hair, characterized by the greatest density, round to oval cross-section, intermediate thickness, growth rate, and ellipticity. Northern Europeans typically have blond or light brown, finer, cylindrical hair, while Mediterranean individuals often have black, curly hair due to more elliptical fibers. Additionally, North Africans may use natural products like henna or Moroccan argan oil to enhance hair color, moisture, or texture.
