What is the structure of the hair?
Famous hair designer Samet Zili gave information about the hair structure:
Hair is a type of protein called keratin. Its structure is more durable thanks to disulfide (chemical compound), oil and hydrogen bonds. The most durable layer is the outer layer. Hair actually does not have its own color, they begin to come out transparent.
The melanin pigment in it gives the color of the hair. Eumelanin and pheomelanin pigments are produced in different amounts in each hair. Dozens of different hair colors and tones are formed in this way.
The type of hair (straight-curly) is determined by the density of disulfide bonds. Disulfide bonds are denser in curly hair.
Although the hair has a fine structure, it is multi-layered and consists of multiple fibers.
Hair bifurcation occurs when these structures separate. Although the hair structures in other parts of the body differ, the basic structure is similar.
Stating that the hair grows approximately 0.3 – 0.4 mm per day,Samet Zili: Continued as follows: This figure shows that a human hair grows between 9-12 mm per month under normal conditions. However, there are still many variables that affect hair growth rates.
Hair growth also varies depending on the care you will apply for hair types. If appropriate care is taken for people with oily hair, dry hair type, hair will not grow healthy.
The hair is formed inside the follicular unit in the dermal papilla (small nipple-shaped projections in the human skin that the dermis makes to the epidermis) extending from the epidermis (the outermost of the three layers that make up the skin) to the dermis (the part that protects the body against impacts). It then stretches, pierces the epidermis and goes out.
The hair is formed by the secretion of the cells in the bulbus part called the root and by reproducing and changing the structure and pushed towards the skin surface.
Reasons that shed hair, such as the formation of hair, are also effective in this section.
