outermost layer of hair, protecting inner structures

Cuticle cells are the outermost layer of cells on a hair strand, forming a protective barrier. These cells overlap like shingles on a roof, helping to shield the inner layers of the hair from damage and moisture loss. For professionals, understanding the condition of cuticle cells is crucial for assessing hair health and determining appropriate treatments.
