The hair which is dry, dull and frizzy is said to be brittle hair. It has split ends also. There is a variation in its intensity from mild to severe.
Hair is made up of 3 layers. The uppermost layer produces oil and protects the internal layers of hair. Hair grows from its roots embedded in the skin. Old hair is replaced from the new hair at the base of the root.
Every person has different texture of hair. The sebaceous glands present in the skin secrete sebum which gives texture to the hair. Hair is made up of protein called keratin. Keratin is maintained by sebum which helps in nourishment of hair.
There are two main signs of a healthy hair – shine and luster.
