Black women hair is not the easiest of hair to groom Sometimes
one get frustrated in the process
In order to do the best for the hair so that it looks beautiful and gorgeous one should know even a little about the structure of hair, a friend of mine referred to hair as dead protein. Is their some truth is this.
When it comes to hair type, people of African descent have hair strands that are thick at certain points, thin at others. This alternate patterns of thick and thin gives the characteristic curl of our hair. It also makes our hair fragile and prone to breakage at the thin points

Did you know that one strand of hair basically has three layers. The first outer layer is called the cuticle, the second the, cortex and the third the medulla

The visible outer layer, the cuticle, is the layer that comes into contact with the environment. The cuticle is made of tiny overlapping scales that protect the cortex. When the cuticle is healthy, its scales lie flat, giving hair that smooth, shiny look
. But when the cuticle and cortex get damaged, the scales stick out and problems like split-ends, dry hair and breakage can occur.

The cortex is the middle layer where pigment is located. Relaxers, texturizers, dyes and heat straightening alter the chemical protein chains and bonds of the cortex, either permanently such as with relaxers and hair color, or temporarily when blow dried or hot ironed.
But when the cuticle and cortex get damaged, the scales stick out resulting in problems like split-ends, dry hair and breakage
The medulla, the innermost layer, is not affected by hair care products or styling processes like chemical relaxers or heat straightening. This is the part that is responsible for growth generation.

In terms of texture, African hair can range from fine and thin with a loose wave to coarse and thick with a tight corkscrew or spiral pattern. Coarse hair, which tends to look dry even if it's not, usually is porous, which means it quickly absorbs any moisture or chemicals exposed to it,.Hair that is relaxed, straightened, or permanently dyed is more porous than natural hair.
Without the harsh chemicals and soap black hair would not pose such a problem to groom but we women of black origin want our hair to look like the hair of other nation.
