Abstract

Hair care, color, and style play an important role in people’s physical appearance and self-perception. Hair defines an individual’s gender, age, sexual attitude, and social status. There are no significant differences in the number of hair follicles between men and women or between different races. Differences in the appearance of hair are due to the type of hair produced by a follicle and to the type of hair care and cosmetics practiced by the individual.

Healthy hair is usually perceived to be shiny hair with a smooth texture and clean-cut end or tapered tips. Hair texture and shine relate to hair surface properties, while the integrity of hair ends relates to the hair cortex.
