 *The Bulb- this layer actively dividing cels which are involved in the growth stage.

 *The Hair Shaft- is the part of hair above the scalp. The shaft is made of three layers:

 *The Medulla- this is the inner most layer of the hair shaft. Medullas are not always present in everyone Only in thick coarse hair. It contains a soft Amorphorus substance which functions as the marrow of the hair.

 *The Cortex- this is the middle layer of the hair and forms the bulk of the hair about 90%. It contains Keratin which is a structural protein and melanin which gives hair it's natural color.

 * The Cuticle- this is the outermost layer of the hair shaft. It is made of flattened cells arranged in a scale - like manner and this layer serves as a protective layer from external factors.
