Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed little hairs sticking up on your head? It can be frustrating, especially if you just styled your hair. But why do little hairs stick up? This article will explain why this happens and what you can do to prevent it.
How To
To understand why little hairs stick up, we need to know a little bit about hair. Each hair on our head grows from a follicle, which is located beneath the skin. The hair is made up of three layers: the cuticle, cortex, and medulla. The cuticle is the outermost layer of the hair and is made up of overlapping scales. The cortex is the middle layer and contains the pigment that gives hair its color. The medulla is the innermost layer and is only present in thick hairs.
Step By Step
When we style our hair, we are manipulating the cuticle layer. Heat styling tools like flat irons and curling irons can cause the cuticle layer to lift, which can result in little hairs sticking up. Styling products like hairspray and gel can also cause the cuticle layer to lift. Additionally, if we brush or comb our hair too vigorously, we can cause the cuticle layer to lift.
Tips
If you want to prevent little hairs from sticking up, there are a few things you can do:
- Avoid using heat styling tools too frequently
- Use a heat protectant spray before using heat styling tools
- Use styling products in moderation
- Avoid brushing or combing your hair too vigorously
- Use a wide-toothed comb or a boar bristle brush to detangle your hair
- Don't tie your hair up too tightly
- Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction on your hair while you sleep
