Glossary Hair Smoothness

texture and feel of hair with aligned, flat cuticles

Hair smoothness refers to the texture and feel of hair, characterized by its lack of frizz and the alignment of hair cuticles. Smooth hair typically has cuticles that lie flat, reflecting light evenly and giving the hair a shiny, sleek appearance. This quality can be influenced by factors such as hair care practices, the use of conditioning products, and the overall health of the hair.
