Detailed explanation-1: -Each hair shaft is made up of two or three layers: the cuticle, the cortex, and sometimes the medulla. The cuticle is the outermost layer. Made of flattened cells that overlap like the tiles on a terra-cotta roof, the cuticle protects the inside of the hair shaft from damage.
Detailed explanation-2: -The medulla is the deepest layer of hair seen only in thick hairs. The cortex is the central layer of the hair shaft, giving strength, shine, colour and texture to your hair. The cuticle is the thin, colourless outermost layer of the hair shaft which shields the vulnerable cortex and medulla.
Detailed explanation-3: -The medulla, only present in thicker hair types, is the innermost layer of your hair. It consists of a soft, thin core of transparent cells and air spaces.
Detailed explanation-4: -The cortex is surrounded by the cuticle, a layer of dead, overlapping cells forming a protective layer around the hair.
