A healthy scalp has natural, healthy hair. A healthy scalp is porous- in other words, it has healthy pores. Each pore contains multiple hair shafts. This is why anyone with hair loss often presents with empty spots in the pores and on the scalp.

• A soft texture denotes healthy hair

• Healthy hair can move easily, because the texture is soft .

• As you may also know, healthy hair has adequate elasticity and tensile strength. This allows it to stretch and recover- without breaking.

• Healthy hair has natural sheen, or luster- as the outermost layer of the hair shaft reflects light. It has elasticity, it can stretch more than just a little. It does not get tangled when wet. The water content of healthy hair gives it a straight feel or appearance.
