The Science of Shine: Glossy Hair Starts at the Cuticle
Glossy hair is the beauty holy grail. It turns heads, elevates every outfit, and whispers healthy, happy hair. But that mirror-like gloss isn’t just the result of a clever finishing spray — it’s science. Specifically, it all starts at the cuticle.
Let’s Talk Hair Anatomy
Think of your hair shaft like a three-layer cake:
- The medulla at the core
- The cortex for strength and colour
- The cuticle — the protective outer layer
The cuticle is made up of overlapping scales (like tiny roof shingles). When those scales lie flat, light bounces off seamlessly, giving you that covetable shine. But when they’re lifted — thanks to heat, colouring, UV, or even friction — hair looks rough, dull, and tired.
