    Glossary Microfibrils

    tiny, thread-like structures in hair contributing to strength

    Microfibrils are tiny, thread-like structures composed of cellulose in plant cell walls or keratin in human hair. In the context of hair, microfibrils are part of the hair's cortex and contribute to its strength and elasticity by forming a complex, interwoven network.
