What is healthy hair

2 min reading time

Healthy hair looks shiny, strong and supple, free of split ends and breakage. In addition, they are also harbingers of good health and careful care.

Healthy hair is the result of a combination of proper care, proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

Healthy hair has a natural shine, which is the result of the reflection of the smooth surface of the hair fibers. The cuticle (outer layer of the hair) is smooth and sealed, allowing the hair to reflect light and shine.

Healthy hair is strong and flexible. This means they don’t break easily and can withstand stretching without damage. If the hair breaks often, this indicates a weakened hair structure.

Healthy hair is soft to the touch and not dry or coarse. If the hair is soft, it is a sign that it is sufficiently hydrated and cared for.

Losing 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. However, if you notice a significant increase in hair loss or breakage, this may indicate damaged or weakened hair.

Healthy hair has strong roots that are firmly anchored in the scalp. The roots don’t flake and the hair doesn’t fall out easily when you brush or style them.

Healthy hair has an even thickness from root to tip. Split ends and uneven thickness can indicate damage or lack of care.

Healthy hair is not dry or brittle, but properly hydrated. This means that they retain moisture, which keeps them flexible and elastic.

Healthy hair grows from a healthy scalp. A healthy scalp is free from dandruff, itching, redness and inflammation. The scalp should be well-circulated and not too dry or greasy.

Healthy hair is elastic, meaning it can stretch a bit without breaking. When you stretch a strand of hair and then release it, it should return to its original shape.
