What is scalp? The scalp resembles the rest of the skin on your body and has a blood
vessels that carry nutrients to the hair follicle. The main difference is the scalp has larger oil
glands that produce sebum, the body’s natural moisturizing oil. Healthy scalp equals healthy
hair as long as you take care of them. The layers of the scalp are…
Epidermis – the uppermost layer of the scalp which is made up of layers that include dead
skin cells, water, proteins and lipids.
Dermis – supports the skin (epidermis) through its protein structure. Hair grows from hair
follicles located in the dermis layer of the skin.
Subcutaneous – houses the scalps’ blood vessels and fatty tissue which deliver nutrients

Figure 11: The difference between thick skin and thin skin.

Let’s Talk Hair Anatomy

Hair is made up of two parts, the follicle and the shaft.
The following image shows the different parts of the hair
Hair follicle – is just below the skins’ surface and the
hair shaft grows out of it (see image above). The hair
follicle contains sebaceous glands which
produces sebum, a natural conditioner which
moisturizes the hair. The hair follicle is nourished from
the blood stream via the dermal papilla. Your hair is
growing and connected to blood vessels and nerves while in the follicle. Once it passes the
epidermis, it hardens and is essentially dead. Figure 12: Basic structure of hair,
the cuticle, cortex and medulla.
 Cuticle – is the top layer of the hair shaft and looks like
shingles on a roof. The cuticle protects the cortex and the
medulla. If the cuticle is damaged the rest of your hair will
follow suit.  Minimizing damage to the cuticle layer of the hair is
the best way to maintain your hair.

Figure 13: Cross section of the

hair shaft shows the three
layers.

Cortex – is known as the heart the hair and determines the strength due to its protein
strands. It also determines the moisture content and color of the hair.  It is made up of
spindle shaped cells and pigment granules (melanin). This is the layer affected by processes
such as hair color and chemical relaxers.

Figure 15: I love this image because you see the

many protein strands that make up the cortex layer Figure 16: Magnified hair strands show
of the hair. All these individual strands work the presence of the medulla or lack
together to provide strength, elasticity and more to thereof.
your hair. Amazing right?

Medulla – is the innermost layer of the hair shaft and made up of mainly protein but much
isn’t know about it. However, products and styling seem to have no effect on the medulla. It
is not always present is the hair shaft and usually absent in those with naturally blond or fine
hair.
