    Glossary Epicuticle

    outermost protective layer of hair and keratinized structures

    The epicuticle is the outermost layer of the cuticle found in hair and other keratinized structures. It serves as a protective barrier, helping to prevent water loss and shield the underlying layers from environmental damage. This layer is crucial for maintaining hair health and integrity, as it contains lipids and proteins that contribute to its protective properties.
