    Glossary Hair Characteristics

    various attributes defining hair's appearance and behavior

    Hair characteristics refer to the various attributes that define the appearance and behavior of hair. These include texture (straight, wavy, curly), thickness (fine, medium, coarse), color (blonde, brown, black, red), and porosity (how well hair absorbs moisture). Understanding these traits is crucial for both everyday hair care and professional treatments, as they influence how hair responds to styling, products, and environmental factors.
