    hair's ability to stretch and return without breaking

    Elasticity, in the context of hair, refers to the hair's ability to stretch and return to its original length without breaking. Healthy hair with good elasticity can stretch up to 50% of its original length when wet and about 20% when dry. This property is crucial for preventing breakage and maintaining the hair's strength and resilience.
