the hair shaft

what initiates growth of new follicles of hair

A

stem cells along side of hair shafts

91
Q

what makes macrofibrils

A

microfibrils made of protofibrils wound together

92
Q

hair retains what

A

moisture

93
Q

phase where follicle usually grows for 2-6 years

A

anagen active growth phase

94
Q

phase couple of weeks where hair stops growing and starts to involute at base 1-2 weeks

how does higher level of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy affect hair

A

leads to hair cells to stay in the anagen phase so they keep growing

97
Q

hair is most likely to be damaged where

A

at the distal end than the proximal end

98
Q

what can damage hair

A

sun, backcombing, chlorine (damages cuticle creating buldges), heat damage, bleaching (damages shaft)

99
Q

what do you have to break to go from one hair texture to another

A

hydrogen bonds

use medium heat instead of hot

100
Q

Q

bonds in hair

A

keratin is in the cortex of the hair with hydrogen bonds (weaker) and disulfide bonds (stronger)
