    Glossary Cuticles

    Cuticles are the thin, protective layers of overlapping cells that form the outermost part of the hair shaft. They play a crucial role in maintaining hair health by protecting the inner layers from damage, moisture loss, and environmental factors. In the context of hair loss, damaged or raised cuticles can lead to increased hair fragility and breakage, exacerbating thinning or loss. Healthy cuticles contribute to the overall strength and appearance of hair, making their condition an important factor in hair biology.
