EP 302: Hair Science 101

Send Danise a Text Message.Have you ever wondered what your hair is really made of and why it behaves the way it does? This deep dive into the science of hair structure reveals the fascinating biology behind your strands and transforms how you'll care for them forever.Your hair isn't just a fashion statement—it's a complex structure of protein chains. We explore the two main parts of hair: the living root beneath your skin and the visible shaft that's completely keratinized (yes, technically dead!). Understanding this fundamental truth explains why damaged hair doesn't regenerate and requires proper protection.The real game-changer comes when examining the three layers of a hair strand. While the innermost medulla plays little role in hair care, the middle cortex holds your hair's strength, elasticity, and color pigments. But it's the outermost cuticle layer that deserves your attention—this protective shield of overlapping scales determines whether you'll have a good or bad hair day. When these scales lie flat, you get shine and smoothness. When damaged, you get frizz, dullness, and dreaded split ends.Transform your hair care routine with science-backed strategies: limit harsh chemical treatments, use heat protectants before styling, choose gentle sulfate-free products formulated for your hair type, finish with cool water rinses, maintain a nutrition profile rich in hair-friendly vitamins and minerals, and don't skip those regular trims.
