    TLDR Asian hair is stronger and more damage-resistant than Caucasian hair due to a thicker cuticle layer.
    The study compared the hair cuticle structures of Asian and Caucasian females, revealing significant differences. Asian hair was found to have a thicker cuticle layer with more cuticle cells, contributing to its greater strength and resistance to damage. In contrast, Caucasian hair had a thinner cuticle layer with fewer cuticle cells, making it more susceptible to damage. These findings provided insights into the structural variations in hair between different ethnic groups, which could influence hair care and treatment approaches.
