Hair Color and Hair Styles
The Basic Components of Human hairs are, consist of keratin (a protein), melanin (a pigment) and trace quantities of metallic elements. These elements are deposited in the hair during its growth and/or absorbed by the hair from an external environment. After a period of growth, the hair remains in the follicle in a resting stage to eventually be sloughed from the body.
Human hairs are generally consistent in color and pigmentation throughout the length of the hair shaft, whereas animal hairs may exhibit radical color changes in a short distance, called banding.
The pigmentation of human hairs is evenly distributed, or slightly denser toward the cuticle, whereas the pigmentation of animal hairs is more centrally distributed, although more dense toward the medulla.
