These cuticles run in one direction from the base of the head to the tip of the hair. Healthy tight cuticles reflect shiny, silky hair while damaged cuticles reflect dull lifeless hair. Damaged cuticles are caused by chemical processing, hard water and repeated exposure to the sun. Once damaged, it is hard to close the cuticle and repair the damage. Many salon products are being marketed for the repair of damaged cuticles, as it is common to see in our culture.
Cut hair is exactly what it suggests.
It is the hair that is cut from the head and bundled in a ponytail. This hair has all of the cuticles running in the same direction. Remi hair is not cut but gathered from brushes. This hair is then sorted according to the color, length and curl pattern. Some hairs may be turned which can cause tangling.
