    Glossary Cuticle Scales

    outermost layer of hair, composed of overlapping cells

    Cuticle scales are the outermost layer of a hair strand, composed of overlapping, shingle-like cells. These scales protect the inner layers of the hair and can affect its shine and smoothness. For professionals, understanding the condition and alignment of cuticle scales is crucial for assessing hair health and determining appropriate treatments.
