What Defines Healthy Hair?
MIKKI JAMES
Maintaining healthy hair involves proper care, including regular shampooing, conditioning, and protecting it from excessive heat and harsh chemicals. A balanced diet with essential nutrients also contributes to the overall health of hair.
These 10 factors typically categorize healthy hair.
1. Shine: Healthy hair has a natural shine to it. This is the result of the cuticle, the outer layer of the hair, lying flat and reflecting light.
2. Smooth Texture: Healthy hair feels smooth to the touch. The cuticle, when undamaged, allows the hair to have a silky touch.
3. Elasticity: Healthy hair is elastic and can stretch without breaking. This is a sign of good moisture and protein balance.
4. No Split Ends: Split ends are a common sign of damaged hair. Healthy hair tends to have minimal split ends.
5. Moisture: Well-hydrated hair is a key indicator of good health. Dry and brittle hair can be a sign of insufficient moisture.
6. No Excessive Shedding: While it is normal to lose some hair each day, excessive shedding may indicate an underlying issue.
7. Normal Scalp: A clean, healthy scalp is crucial for healthy hair, it should be free from dandruff, irritation, and excessive oiliness.
8. Manageability: Healthy hair is easier to manage, style, and comb. It's less prone to tangles and knots.
9. Natural Color: The natural color of healthy hair is vibrant and even. Changes in color or excessive fading can be a sign of damage.
10. Resilience To Styling: Healthy hair can withstand various styling techniques without becoming overly damaged. Excessive use of heat tools and harsh chemicals can compromise the health of the hair.
