Thin hair

Features

In fine hair, the cuticle layer has a significantly higher proportion of the mass between the cuticle layer and the fiber stem than in normal or even thick hair.

In the case of fine hair, this structural part of the cuticle is decisive for the properties of the hair. Damage to the cuticle leads to hair that appears more damaged overall. This is because the cuticle is the most "vulnerable" part of the hair structure. Fine hair is therefore more sensitive than normal or thick hair and is significantly less plastic, as the plastic-forming fiber stem makes up less of the hair.
