    shape and structure of a hair strand's cut end

    Hair cross-section refers to the shape and structure of a hair strand when it is cut perpendicular to its length. This cross-sectional shape can be round, oval, or flat, and it influences the hair's texture and curl pattern. For example, round cross-sections are typically associated with straight hair, while oval or flat cross-sections are linked to wavy or curly hair. Understanding hair cross-sections is important for professionals in dermatology and cosmetology as it helps in diagnosing hair conditions and tailoring hair care treatments.
