- Hair Color2, on average. Moreover, hair density is correlated with hair color. On average, there are 150 thousand blonde hairs, 110 thousand brown hairs, 100 thousand black hairs and 90 thousand red hairs. The total number of hairs on the scalp is around 100 thousand. The maximum density is seen in those with blonde hair, while the minimum density is seen in those with red hair. Hair can be thick, thin or soft according to the thickness of the cortex and cuticle. The colour of hair is due to melanin (a colored substance). Two types exist: eumelanin, present in dark (black) hair, and pheomelanin, which is instead present in light (red, blonde, golden brown) hair. In blonde hair, the melanin pigments are only present in the cuticle, while in colors ranging from brown to black they are also found in the medulla layer. In red hair the melanin pigments are replaced by widespread soluble pigments. Hair is also rich in minerals that vary according to the color. In red hair we find iron, in black hair we find magnesium and, lastly, lead can be found in brown hair. Hair becomes white due to the loss of the enzymatic exchange between thyroxine and melanocytes. In other words, the cells that produce melanin no longer function correctly. Hair may also suddenly change color due to various causes (fear, illness, etc...)
- Permanent WavesAggressive aesthetic hair treatments (coloring, perms, ironing, bleaching, brushing too intensely, aggressively or for too long, aggressive and scorching hot irons, hair dryers that are too hot and close) act at the level of the cuticle (the external layer of the hair), until they wear it thin or consume it entirely, and may even cause hair loss.
- Keratin TreatmentHair is composed of three layers called (proceeding outwards from the innermost layer) the medulla, cortex and cuticle. The thickness and shape of hair depend on the cortex. In the cortex, keratin accumulates in greater quantities. In thin hair the cortex is thin and smaller than normal. A thin cortex makes the hair less compact and weaker, thus it tends to get damaged and to break more easily.
