HOW DOES DETANGLING SHAMPOO WORK?
Lisa Frampton
Hair is made up of the root and the shaft. The shaft, which is what we see on top of our heads, is biologically dead and made up of three parts: the medulla, the cortex and the cuticle. The cortex is made up of keratin proteins, which have a high percentage of negatively charged amino acids. The cuticle consists of several flat cells laid out like roof tiles. As the shaft is damaged, these cells become loose or fall off, leaving the cortex exposed. These rough cells get caught and tangle up.
