How does your hair get its natural color?
Hair gets it's color from melanin pigments found in your hair's cortex.
What is in a hair?

Can you describe the 3 layers of hair?
Cuticle: The outermost layer of hair that acts as a protective barrier. It consists of overlapping scales that help defend against damage and lock in moisture. Cortex: The middle layer of hair that provides strength, flexibility, and color. This is where you find the main protein structure of the hair, such as keratin. Medulla: The innermost layer, often not present in fine or light-colored hair. Its function is not fully understood, but it may contribute to the overall strength and elasticity of the hair.
What are the three main parts of hair?
Three major parts of hair are Cuticle, Cortex, and Medulla.
What is the explanation for the cuticle cortex and medulla?
The cuticle is the outer scale section of the hair. it contains 10% of the hair"s weight. A healthy cuticle will result in a shine, glossy. smooth and soft textured hair. The cortex is the inner section of the hair shaft. This contains for 75% of the hair's strength. In the cortex is where the chemical bonds are broken. The medulla this is in the innermost part of the hair. It consist of tunnels of cells filled with air spaces running continuously or intermittently through the hair. A medulla is present in most hair type except thin.
What parts of the wild cherry tree are used for medicinal purposes?
Bark is collected in the autumn by carefully stripping away small sections. The outer wild cherry bark is then removed and the lighter colored, reddish interior cortex is dried, but not in direct sunlight.
How do you inherit your hair color?
A persons pigment called melanin gives the skin and hair it's color. In hair melanin is found in the cortex which is the hair second layer. Genes in a human body determines the number of melanocytes in the hair and the type of melanin it produces. The size and type of melanosomes will determine the natural color of the hair. There are two types of melanin, eumelanin(brown/black) and pheomelanin (red).
What are 3 layers of hair?
The three layers of hair are the cuticle (outermost layer), cortex (middle layer responsible for strength and elasticity), and medulla (innermost layer, not always present in all hair types). These layers work together to provide structure and protection to the hair strand.
What are the three main layers of the hair shaft?
The three main layers of the hair shaft are the medulla (innermost layer), cortex (middle layer), and cuticle (outer layer). The medulla is the innermost part of the hair shaft, often absent in fine hairs. The cortex provides strength, color, and texture to the hair, while the cuticle is the protective outer layer made up of overlapping scales.
