    outermost layer of hair, composed of overlapping cells

    The hair cuticle is the outermost layer of a hair strand, composed of overlapping, scale-like cells that protect the inner layers of the hair. It acts as a barrier against environmental damage and helps maintain the hair's strength and moisture balance. For professionals, understanding the condition of the cuticle is crucial for assessing hair health and determining appropriate treatments.
