    ability of hair to stretch and return without breaking

    Hair elasticity refers to the ability of hair to stretch and return to its original length without breaking. It is an indicator of the hair's health and strength, often influenced by the hair's moisture content and protein structure. High elasticity means the hair can stretch significantly and bounce back, while low elasticity indicates the hair is more prone to breakage and damage.
