    Glossary Cortical Cells

    specialized hair cells providing strength, color, and texture

    Cortical cells are specialized cells found in the cortex of the hair shaft, which is the thickest layer of the hair. These cells are responsible for providing strength, color, and texture to the hair by containing keratin and melanin. For professionals, understanding the structure and function of cortical cells is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair disorders such as alopecia.
