Did you mean Hair Integrity?

GlossaryHair Integrity

overall health and strength of hair strands

Hair integrity refers to the overall health and strength of hair, encompassing its structure, moisture content, and resilience to damage. For professionals, it involves assessing factors like the cuticle layer's condition, protein content, and the hair's ability to withstand chemical treatments and physical stress without breaking or becoming excessively dry.
