    Glossary Cuticle Thickness

    measurement of hair's outermost protective layer's thickness

    Cuticle thickness refers to the measurement of the outermost layer of a hair strand, known as the cuticle. This layer consists of overlapping cells that protect the inner structure of the hair. Thicker cuticles generally provide better protection against damage and environmental stressors, while thinner cuticles may make hair more susceptible to breakage and frizz.
