What is the cuticle layer of the hair?  The outer cuticle is the “armor” of the hair laying like shingles on a roof protecting the inner workings of the cortex.  The cuticle is made of protein!  Larger hair strands such as resistant 100% grey or thick or coarse hair contain more cuticle layers while finer strands contain less. 

When the cuticle is healthy and smooth it reflects light and appears shiny, hair styles and performs better.  When the cuticle is damaged hair looks dull, dry, tangles easily and won’t hold a style or color as well.
