We provide comprehensive hair restoration information. Basically, hair is a protein filament that grows through the epidermis from follicles deep within the dermis. The main component of hair fibre is keratin. Hair can be divided into three parts length-wise:
- The bulb, a swelling at the base which originates from the dermis.
- The root, which is the hair lying beneath the skin surface, and
- The shaft, which is the hair above the skin surface. In cross-section, there are three parts, (1) the medulla, an area in the core which contains loose cells and airspaces (2) the cortex, which contains densely packed keratin and (3) the cuticle, which is a single layer of cells arranged like roof shingles.
Texture
Hair texture is described as fine, medium, coarse or wiry, depending on the hair diameter. Hair can be thin, medium or of thick density. It can also be straight, curly, 'kinky' (tightly coiled), or wavy. The texture f of the hair is affected by hair styling equipment such as straighteners, crimpers, or curlers. Hair is genetically programmed to be straight, wavy, curly, or 'kinky,' and it can change over time.
Scientists have determined that whether your hair is curly, 'kinky', or straight is determined by the shape of the follicle itself and the direction in which each strand grows out of its follicle. Curly and/or 'kinky' hair is shaped like an elongated oval and grows at a sharp angle to the scalp. This growth pattern, in turn, determines the cross-section of the shafts. Appropriate hair treatment can improve the texture of the hair.
Human hair is of three distinct types:
Lanugo is the fine hair covering almost a foetus’s entire body until before birth. In cases of malnutrition or extreme anorexia nervosa within adults, lanugo can grow anew as the sufferer’s body attempts to insulate itself.
Vellus hair is the very short, fine, scarcely visible hair covering most parts of the bodies of both sexes.
Terminal hair is fully developed hair, and is typically longer, coarser, thicker and darker than the vellus type.
Hair restoration costs are affordable by all. Our treatment is inexpensive and effective.
