Hair is naturally porous (has holes in it) and because of how the hair is built (with proteins and such), when it gets chemically treated (dyes, bleach, perms, straightener treatments) it loses some of its proteins. This means your hair has more gaps and is now weaker.
When you dye your hair though, the colour seeps into each, individual hair that it is applied to. This does not actually fill the holes though. So that means after your hair has been coloured and dried and such, the colour can leak out quickly if your hair has become too weak/thin. There are two things a person does to combat this.
Protein filler/pre treatment - this is usually applied to the hair right before dyeing it, or it is mixed in with the hair dye (particularly if one is using professional dyes and developers). This helps keep the hair stronger so that the colour is accepted and kept.
Cuticle sealer - the process of treating your hair opens up the hair sort of (think of a pinecone, when the seeds have not popped out of it, a pinecone has flat sides, but then it opens up, and then it has sharp open areas), and this can cause your hair to have more breakage, and to cause your hair colour to seep out very quickly. Cuticle sealer is applied after the dye has been rinsed out of the hair.
So you should use cuticle sealer to protect the colour and to protect the hair.

The direction in which the hair cuticle lies and its importance when disentangling wet hair?
The hair cuticle lies downwards when u shampoo it opens up the cuticle and when u condition it closes the cuticle. It is not good to use petrissage with long hair as it will tangle the hair. when detangling the hair the hair cuticle helps the hair detangle easier as the hair will be soft. u must use a wide tooth comb to detangle the hair.
What is the direction of the hair cuticle and its importance when detangling the hair?
The cuticle of the hair shaft lies downwards towards the tip - from root to point to the shaft hair . The cuticle is lifted when shampooing occurs and smoothed with conditioner. It is important to remember to use the effleurage method of shampooing on longer hair as using a petrissage motion will result in excessive tangling – causing a ‘cuticle interlock’. Always use a wide toothed comb and start at the tips working your way up to the roots when detangling. Roo
What is deep conditioner and how often should you use it?
A deep conditioner atcs as a conditioner but it penetrates the cuticle inside the hair shaft. It should be used anywhere from once a week for people w/ dry hair (like me) or people with "regualr" hair about twice a month. It really improves the condition of your hair .
If you straighten your hair a lot is it bad for it?
Yes it can be bad for your hair because of the heat. It damages the cuticle if used excessively. The cuticle is the outside layer of the hair that lets water and chemicals get inside the hair. If it gets damaged the hair becomes dry and porous and this is not a good thing when you want to get a colour or perm done. The chemicals go into the hair quicker and can cause even more damage. You should use some form of heat protection when you straighten your hair to try and stop too much damage being done.

How do hairdressers thin hair out?
They use a special kind of razor that thins the hair at the ends. You can just ask your hairdresser to use it on your hair next time you get it cut. The results are great. We also use thinning shears to thin out hair and remove excess bulk. Unlike a razor, these shears don't tear at the hair's cuticle and therefore give a smoother cut.
