  1. The Hair Shaft S.Pocklington

  2. The Three Layers The medulla The Cortex The cuticle S.Pocklington

  3. The cuticle • The cuticle is the outer layer of the shaft. • This is the first layer to show any type of damage • The closed cuticle feels smooth S.Pocklington

  4. The cuticle • The cuticle is slightly raised in this picture • If you were to run your finger down this shaft you would feel the damage S.Pocklington

  5. The cuticle • The damage to this shaft is caused by the hair being over processed when perming. S.Pocklington

  6. The cortex • The extend of the damaged cuticle in this picture exposes the cortex. • This could have been caused by the over possessing of colour treatments. S.Pocklington

  7. The cortex • The whole shaft has shattered in this picture. • This could have been caused by incorrect choice of perm lotion. S.Pocklington

  8. The cortex • When you tug wet hair to comb through you stretch the hair shaft, if you tug too hard you will cause this type of damage. S.Pocklington

  9. The cortex • Detangling hair from root to point will cause split ends S.Pocklington

  10. The cortex • Knotting hair will cause pressure on the cuticle and cortex, leading the hair to break. S.Pocklington

  11. Healthy looking hair • Think every time you handle hair you need to be careful not to damage the cuticle. • When the cuticle is smooth it reflects the light and gives a shiny appearance. S.Pocklington
